Well i spent the day in Palm Springs for work and spotted one of the nicest examples of an Xr4ti i probably will ever have the chance to. It was in for an alignment at the Firestone in Indio, and it was a Red. Only had 31,000 miles on the cluster and definitely looked the part of showroom too. The i...

Well im glad my merk is going to live on Rodger. will definately have to see your car once its completed. And on another note, orderd up a new gasket set finally for the Rolls so once the ranger gets finished i will be ready t o pull the motor!

coincidentally, last night i just decided i will be getting rid of my 89' monowhite rolling chassis. need the engine for my daily driver ranger. letting it go for extremely cheap. call me if your interested 310-894-1798. could snap some picutres this afternoon. Thanks Dominic

Someone had a real clean front bumper for 40 bucks on craigslist..i think he posted it on here as well. not sure what the wings your reffering too. i might be inclined to sell my entire car for parts if your interested.

vaccuum line is definately good, i put a brand new one on there... figured it was shot, since i blew the last HG by overboosting lol. tried to mickey-mouse it and the manifold pressure im sure was just to great for the old girl. thanks

Cant remember where i read it, but someone mentioned to connect the vaccuum line from the actuator to strait manifold vaccuum if it wasnt operating. Since i did that, my turbo actually would bleed off boost above 10psi, however that only lasted about 5 or 10 good pulls now it seems like it wont rele...

i run 205/50R15's on mine with a c3, everytime i get on the freeway i pray for a fast and smooth running big-rig so i can draft behind him. i hate running 75mph here in L.A. at 3504k rpm's

I really want a black Thunderbird Turbo coupe... i love how those look!

I had my girl do a double drive-by because it is the first Xr ive seen all year for me haha. like i said earlier, it looked to be in really good shape. I do only really have mine to compare to.

Sorry i didnt make it, the heat and my autobox would have surely left me pucking red fluid all the way down the street... but next time i will be ready. Im personally not a fan of huntington beach, or much of the OC for that matter.

I dont know the make or model of wheels, but they surely werent stock.. Some style of a straight multi-spoke design, i think they were black, but could have been a very dark gray, looked like 15's but could have been 16's. i wasnt thinking, i should have snapped a picture of it. The car was in prett...

Anyone know who owns the Black Xr, it had a newly painted RS spoiler on the rear with a cosworth grille up front and hood louvers. Had some pretty large gauges on the top of the dash too. Whoever owns it has to work there sincei went to dinner and a moive and it was still parked there when i left.

Sure was an interesting trip... earthquake shook my office building in the middle of lecture, interesting to say the least being from So Cal. Irene tried her best to keep me there longer, and in the end, i thought Charlotte was a nice place. great food every place i went, Mickey and Mooch's or whate...

Anyone have any suggestions for the Charlotte area. My job is sending me there for the week and i hate being inside, let alone in a nasty hotel room. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas for ways of spending some time while im there?

White,

where did you go? I went to El Toro about a year ago with my old T/A. 180k miles and still placed 10th in SK1 for my first showing was pretty well i think. havent had the nerve to go back yet since my Merk barely moves a mile a week.
