this is my little project car. I'm running 10pds of boost on the stock 88 turbo setup with a fuel cut defender and a manual boost controler. I t has an 86 front suspenion and 4 pistons calipers in the front. the car is pretty much gutted and weights next to nothing. Working on makeing it street legal right now and it had 285 whp......It's a hoot to drive.......

****'ch-yea

I built that car (Joe Phillips)

Glad to hear its still ripping away....hope you addressed the oil issue when you got the car.

Oh.......and anything thats wrong with it I should mention that it was built inside of 3 days for a television show....paint and all

Enjoy!!!

 

Yes there was a thew issues with the car like, loose bolts, major oil leak, bad front wheels hubs, poor wiring. I have most of these things fixed now, but i do have a question......When did the car develope that oil leak and was it driven long with it? Just curious as i think the turbo Seals are F**ked..........lol. Just wondering if i should replace the turbo....It does still pull very strong so i think it is just the turbo seals...... that's to funny i have the vid of you building it......I was trying to buy the red one to but andrew bought it....Let me know if there is anything else i should know about......

PS: fixed the rot to.....

 

Yep there was a bunch of crap we had to leave because we didn't have time.

The turbo was shot when we put the engine in, but not much we could do since it was the only complete swap we found before hand locally. When it started blowing oil we had 1/2 a lap left and came in. Still had plenty of oil in the engine so I doubt it hurt anything.

As far as loose bolts and the hub hack job goes.............I was the body man And I'm sure you've read stories on here about Chris from CP Racing and his "wonderful" knowledge and skillz

EDIT: and yeah, I was bidding on Stewart's car also. They put about another 5K into it over budget iwth misc. stuff. Would have loved to snap up that 7.

 

I recognize that car! Enjoy my wiring! One thing I highly suggest is to reconnect the factory starter signal to the ECU. I didn't do it to keep the harness as slim and simple as possible, but that signal really helps if the car is hard to start in the cool weather. But the harness is as absolutely simple as a 2nd gen wiring harness can be so you should not have any other issues.
