the little forse behind it is mostly needed for beginning drivers. expirience easily overcomes that. and i also live in a rural part of the town, not too much stop and go.... mostly twisty roads out in the country

its not a matter of experience its a matter of the engine being able to move the drive -train. im not trying to start some big contraversy (sp) i was simply pointing out the fact that, that would be more geared towards a car for racing purposes instead of street use, but yes it can still be used on the road.

I'm 16 and have a '86 n/a Sport. It was running really shitty when I got it and long story short I found out it was only running on 1 rotor because the wires in 2 of the injector clips were broken. So I pulled off the LIM and UIM to take out the injectors and send them the Witch Hunter Performance to be cleaned. While everything was apart, I removed the rat's nest and all other emissions stuff. Right now I'm in the process of soldering on new injector clips and putting everything else back together. Hopefully it'll run better when it's all back together. Once that's done, I'm still debating whether I should start getting serious about fixing it up and then start building it up, or just getting it running and selling it to buy another car in better condition, as this one has quite a bit of rust on the quarter panels and rocker panels. Idk, I'm just gonna concentrate on getting it running right for now. I kind of want to keep it since it has no sunroof, no rear wiper, manual windows and a bunch of other stuff that makes it lighter, but I don't know if I'll be able to reapir the body properly.


BTW, anyone in the Detroit are needs to come out to the MIrotaryclub.net meet at the Woodward dream cruise. I went last year and it was alot of fun, it will be even better with more people and more cars.
