I'm impressed John, that car had a lot of miles on it and it just keeps on kicking. The thing had like 180k when we bought it. No, I'M impressed, because I thought it had 93,000 miles when I bought it, and now you're telling me it was 193,000 miles! But of course, we know that Merkurs aren't reliab...

I have updated the original post with this most recent information from merk23literturbo and jkxr4ti, and I made the links spiffy even :mrgreen: This thread should never die...

Your avatar one. The maroon '89. you do?? Where did you buy it from? Last I saw it was in September (or maybe october?) 2008 in Salt Lake for sale at a pawn shop. They were asking $4200 :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: How's she doing? What sort of work have you had to do to it? Is that awful Probe ...

Be prepared for more intercooler information than you ever knew existed.

Howdy everyone! Remember when we made this? This really is still one of the best intercooler threads ever. I randomly decided to come check out what was going on in the MCA forums, and lo and behold, on the first page of the XR4Ti section I see a new thread titled "intercooler" and all it ...

Hi Ed! Nice to hear from you-- welcome back. Sounds like all is well, other than the Missing Merks. I can relate. I don't have any idea when I may next be passing through your (beautiful) neck o' the woods, but we'll let you know! Man, you're merkless?! how'd you let that happen?! please do let me ...

What's up guys?! dunno how many of you will remember me... It's been a while! I spent some time in Brazil, moving to florida and i was there for a year and a half. i've been back home in Utah for almost 6 months now! All the Merkurs are gone--my brother left home after I did (he spent his 2 years in...

Hey guys, it's been a while! Well, I mentioned that i was off to do 2 years of voluntary service for my church in Brazil. I ended up spending 5 months in Brazil, then was transferred to Miami Florida and spent the rest of my time there! i returned home about 3 months before, and finally got around t...

Hey guys, just thought i´d drop by and say hello. I´m down in Brazil, 4 months into my mission, and having a good time. Having learned a new language and a whole lotta other stuff, i thought i oughta leave you all a message--merkur-related, even. I sold my car before i left for $1000--the whit...

the intercooler won't do any good unless you plumb it into the intake!!

haha, looks nice, let us know how it works.

that is officially the coolest thing ever.

bravo.

ahh. no it isn't. soo... up until now i had sat in GTO's and looked at them a lot, but i'd never ridden in or driven one. tonight i went and test drove a 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabrio, a 2004 Honda S2000 (this is our 4th test drive in an S2000!!! woo!! these things are awesome) and a 2006 Pontia...
