I had a thread on this before but all the pictures died with Webshots when it went away ...
a while ago, we picked up a 93 Vert for must wife's toy. We had the paint and body done, re did the interior, all making it look fast although it was only a 2.3, A4LD car ... Potentially the slowest fox ever built ...
in in the end, it came out really nice and turns heads as far as looks ...
I had rounded up the parts to Turbo Swap it for her ... I had a fresh short lock, C4, and some of my old parts like aluminum driveshaft, my ported turbo manifold, one of my T3 turbos, etc ....
friday night we loaded it all in the truck ....
worked on it a few hours and left it here Friday night ...
Back at it Saturday ....
put everything together ....
and stabbed it in before calling it a day ...
Back at it this morning, built the exhaust, trans lines, etc ...
fired up and drove it tonight ...
Running ....
always thought that car looked good. Where did you get it painted bob ?
Just a little 500 whp V6
A good friend painted it ... If we wasn't friends, it's not the type of stuff he usually does.
That was fast. Does that mean she will open the hood now. This will also give spectators more to stop and stare at with both your cars. I might as well stay home now.lol

Thanks guys, wifey is happy.
Dan - it's simply amazing how mild boost transforms these. Car is only at 12# now, but where you really notice it is in the transition. Just tip inypto 3-4 # of boost and it scoots versus the labor they go through ... Figure a mild, safe tune up added 100 Hp to it. Simply transformed it.
very cool ,you guys knocked that out in a hurry

he's into that, that spiritual stuff. <><
clean looking car, before you did the rebuild did you ever consider a new ecoboost 4 banger swap
Most of the parts for this swap was either stuff I outgrew, spares, or otherwise on hand. Also I was able to "leverage" my know how on the squirt platform to make this run. It just didn't make a lot of sense to move this to something else as long as mine is still 2.3 based.
how does it feel with more boost ?

More boost now ....
Still feels slow to me ... If you see her out and about in it, I suggest not trying her :)
But does it run 9's?
