How many 2.3's?

**Martin0660** · 07-05-2008, 12:55 AM

Some of us where talking at TnT Wednesday when a random 2.3 conversion showed up. We where speculating on how many 2.3 Turbo cars we could get together from this area to race, We came up with about 10 that would race, and then a few other cars as well. Lets get a tally of who's in the 2.3 Turbo Mafia ;) Membership cards to come later

There seems to be a good number in the area.

I have my 84 Capri (RS Turbo car)
Shaun and his dad are two (Both swapped notches)
Franks has 83 TC, and the SVO although the SVO is not "in"
Troy has the SVO
Don has a swap notch (I think he still has it).
Mike (Map) has the Pinto
Jan (actually his son) has a 2.3 powered Celica.
The hatch that shoped up at PRP Wednesday (If any of you are on here, sorry I didn't get your names).
There is a TC out of WV that we might be able to nudge up here, but is a member here ;)
I know of another swap happening in an early model Mustang, then add in the ones at your place, A few randoms drivers, etc that we know about, plus a few out there in secret (yeah, I know what you bought ;) )

I think there are 9-10 that we could get to the track at one time right now, or very soon, with a few more in the works.

I think you would be hard pressed to find another 75 mile radius with this many 2.3 Turbo's

All of these in one place at one time could be dangerous;)

We would be better off holding the meet in a junkyard, that way we would have lots of spare parts :D All of them in one place would sure save me some time ;)

speaking of 2.3's i saw a mint, and i mean MINT grey SVO coming towards me by my house on altman road in jeannette, never saw the car before so I was wondering if its someone on here?

**Martin0660** · 07-13-2008, 03:20 PM

Not sure on that one. Are you sure is was Gray, and not black with the gray trim as is typical? Steve had is 26K original SVO out yesterday. Oh wait, you provable saw it at Irwin anyway, so would know.

I only have 1 piece of a 2.3 turbo, so I don't think that qualifies me.

**map351** · 07-19-2008, 09:26 AM

I hear the Celica was makin some passes last night!

Mike

**Martin0660** · 07-19-2008, 10:13 AM

Indeed, the Celica was back. Ran a 12.7X last night on the Nitto's and confused a lot of people. I think next time it;s back it will be on ET Streets :D

Ha even had people wanting to see if it was REALLY a ford motor :D

**lib88stang** · 07-19-2008, 07:56 PM

I think it suprised that 08 vette

**jesshwarren** · 10-06-2008, 05:24 PM

I'll race if you guys get some of the 2.3's together. It's a 98 turbo ranger, still part of the 2.3 world.

I'm at the track EVERY weekend.

Frank likes to relive the glory days of when he used to race (both times) :D

Troy usually brings something else to the track along with a better excuse, then when he does bring the SVO, he launches off idle :D :D

Shaun is STILL swapping rears on his :D :D :D

Shaun's Dad's car is coming together and should be there next spring, I have hope there.

We arent even going to talk about MAP's driveway cruiser :D :D :D :D

And Jan works shifts and is hard to pin down :D :D :D :D :D

Did I mention I'm always at the track?
