Yes! Another 5MT turbo wagon?

Post by evolutionmovement »

Looks like I'm picking up my new turbo engine Monday (fingers crossed, knock on wood). It has 86K on it and comes with the turbo for $750. I'll work on it this winter on the engine stand in the kitchen. Getting closer to building the car from my first two novels. Very excited. So eventually there'll hopefully be another 5MT turbo wagon out there, this one a 1990. This makes up for the other rejection letter I got today (I think I need to rewrite my querry letters. Looking for an agent...anyone, anyone?).

Excellent...

Thanks guys! I'm converting to 4wd as the fwd would just spin the tires forever. As it is with the 3.70 final drive and N/A there's nothing in the wet from a start. It's either stall, buck, spin, or perfect if the clutch feels happy that day.
