Hey that's Brian! We're in San Diego. Unfortunately he's not on the forums. He's got a nice car, just starting to upgrade.

It's an xr4ti. Just rebadged. Still has the Ford 2.3L motor. Yes got the basic mods on it, and increased boost

They have asked about this car on Jalopnik as well. It is really making an impression I guess.

The impressions seem good. And a good plug can't hurt.
I suppose someday they might even get expensive?

you mean someday my merkur might be worth something? I'm not yet convinced. THough I have ran into quite a few people who have stories of theirs in their high school or college days, now I'm living it.
