another 500.00 well spent
 
even though its not a honda,I was out garage saleing last
Sat looking for what ever I could use or just to spend
money and this elderly lady came out with a for sale sign
and put it on one of her cars with a price of 500.00.the car is a 95 dodge sprint,v6 auto, plush interior,dark
maroon in color,new goodyear tires,and no dents or dings
and only 40,276 original miles yes 40,276 miles.I asked her
if she made a mistake on the price,she said no is that too much.quickly i handed over the money. question,do u think i took advantage of her. I'd much rather drive this in the
winter than my HB ;D

Shoulda offer her $250 because when you start it you can hear the muffler bearing rattle, also the halogen needs to be topped up in the headlights. :P

Turbo that bitch and put some spring expanders in the springs and some big meaty tires, oh and possibly some 5" round lights bolted to the bumper and it sounds like you got a winter beater ;D

The stupid people who lived at my Sisters town house left a 1st gen Toy. MR2 behind. Engine in apart and body is rotting but it still has potential. Went on Car Domain, found on with a Northstar in it. Read up on it and now me and her fiance have a new project. I'm into mostly imports and he's into domestics so we are going to try to put 2 and 2 together!

Either that I will take it and toss in a new motor and turbo the bitch. I know some came with supperchargers but I still like the hassle of ------ around and trying to make a turbo fit and work.

Yes sir, that'd be the 4AGZE:

Only not that one...US MR2 got the suckass AFM + dizzy 140HP GZE while that one is MAP + DLI. Not to mention forged bottom end...

Too bad it wasn't the turbo spirit with the turbo 3 motor those bitches had 225 hp. 230 tq. with 12 or 13 psi forged crank and rods.....anyway I have seen dodge turbo v6's with 300hp and only like 8psi.
