Sockington posted:Tempo had a 2.3l with no such sweet DOHC business drat, you're right. I'm not very good at this "match displacement with car" game. I got my driver's license in a first-gen four-door beige Tempo. Wasn't much interested in the specifics of it, but I can confirm that it could go 100mph even with four people in it.

The steering wheel shook a fair bit (probably a function of wheel balance more than anything else) but otherwise it wasn't terribly eventful.

Yeah, we did that a few times too. The amusing part was having the people in the "top rear row" duck whenever we saw a cop nearby. No speeding antics in that situation, obviously.

Sockington posted:Tempo had a 2.3l with no such sweet DOHC business I was going to mention that one can bolt the Volvo B234 DOHC head onto the Ford 2.3 but then I realized the 2.3 in the Tempo wasn't the same as Ford's 2.3 "Pinto" motor. drat Ford, what the gently caress was wrong with you in the 80's?

I never did say that the 80's sucked. Anything from Japan made from 1980-1993 owns, and owns hard. Late 80's cars are my personal favorite. 1980's American cars are loving awful. All of them.

I bounced that car off the other side of a ditch narrowly missing a telephone pole in the process in 1998. In a few weeks it will be exactly 13 years to the day, and you can still see the divot the rear of the front fender made. Grass has grown into it, but you can still see where it was dug out.

No, I'm not going to post anything more than a 1 line twitter description and a couple of 640x480 shots of my filthy car from my cellphone.

DeNofa posted:Take it back, commie. I'd kill for one of these. quote:Following the Chrysler takeover of Lamborghini, product programs general manager Jack Stavana introduced a program to fit a Lamborghini Jalpa V8 into a Daytona. The motor was linked to an all-wheel drive (AWD) system designed by Carroll Shelby, and the car was called the Decepzione. Despite its performance and media buzz generated by articles in Car and Driver magazine, the project was abandoned due to the car's oil pan having just 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) of ground clearance, necessitated by the comparatively tall engine block.

You could have the Camry with a 5speed manual + V6 in those years. Way more exciting than what they are offering now.

Ironically "crève coeur" is a French expression that translates into "heart breaker", although on second thought that might not be so ironic.

MATLAB 1988 posted:Project car hell: "Clutch adjustment", "80% restored" Someone near me has been trying to sell an Alfa Romeo Milano. I've seen it tooling around before so it does run, but it's been for sale for a while, so I assume something's wrong with it besides the big dent on the back. How hard is it to get parts for those in the USA?

Mighty Horse posted:Ancient engine design? It's a MPFI turbo motor, in 1988. That was pretty drat cutting edge at the time. The age of then engine is not the age of the fuel system, especially since the same manufactuer used the 318 V8for like 50 years and went from dual barrel carbs pre-emissions to was knock-sensing sequential fuel injection in the 90s. D-Jetronic is MPFI and came out in 1967, BMW started in the 70s, Toyota's last carbed car was 1987 I think, so no, except for legacy-powered vehicles like this, it wasn't. The engine came out in 1981, was mostly-carbed until 1985, and used until 1994 I think. Counterpoint is that both Subaru and Nissan had carbureted vehicles in 1989.

Noise Complaint posted:http://worcester.craigslist.org/cto/2377893059.html It's a bolt in affair since the Escort GT AND Probe of that generation were Mazda based and shared some motors. Only one motor mount is different than the normal Escort set. Good price if everything works properly.

Sorry for the double post, I can honestly say I wasn't expecting this when I pulled up CL a minute ago: http://huntsville.craigslist.org/cto/2381673918.html quote:I have this 1909 model t ford complete rolling running gear and also a 18' carhauler full of model t parts front axles,hoods,running boards,lights,radiator,grill shell wheels, The motor turns free and has compresson lots of parts i will sell 1 item or the whole trailer load CHEAP need to sell and get off my trailer by this weekend or will trade for a model t or model a body any condition doesnt matter that much Thanks,may consider a fiberglass body Call 256-xxx-4867  I'm no expert on Model T Fords but to me it looks awful complete. Either way it's pretty interesting, for all I know it could be a bunch of junk though. Anybody better versed in this stuff can clue me in?

I'm not sure I get his logic though; "Need to get rid of this Model T and all my parts immediately; will trade for a Model T or A in any condition."

I have some extra money sitting around doing nothing and it sounded...interesting. The more I thought about it though I'm going to pass. Let me know if you end up picking it up, I wanna check it out.
