I want ppl to know its a 4-banger so they leave it the hell alone! Lol
i feel you.. that is why my 77 still sits on 13" turd wheels, and everyone knows it only has about a 75hp v6.

Knowing that its a 4-cyl is a great deterant from thieves...at least I'd hope!

not at all. I havent spent any money modding it, nor do I plan to. I spent a little money to get it daily driveable, but thats as far as it goes. I sold my cobras, and bought the bullitts...no extra money was spent on top

How slow is it? Slower than a '89 Honda Civic?

I'd say its along the lines of a stock civic I guess. Not really worried about how fast it is though.

Nice 2.3 I also got a 2.3 The motor can take a beating. My valvetrain was beat on hard when my auto only had second gear and I had to take the freeway to get to work. Crused it a 55 in second. Commuted like this for 2 years. Since then a new transmission is in and running strong. The only things broken since I owned it were coil and waterpump. Ranger header fit perfectly.

I'm asking kuz I was thinking about getting another car to DD since I literally get pulled over for nothing at all. My car before this '86 was a '89 Honda CIvic N I sold it to a guy around the corner N I been thinking about buying it back but I was also thinking about a 4cyl. Mustang. Oh N maybe setup a race against yours the Honda will hit 7k rpms problem.

Here's some better daylight pics. The paint really shined up nicely after buffing it with some paint cleaner. Now I plan to repaint all the trim and molding and I'll be done!

. [/qb][/QUOTE]Ranger header??? Hmmmm [/QB][/QUOTE] Yes some late model rangers ,not sure what years, came with factory header. I put one on my 88 that I had and took the pre-cat off. Not really sure if it made a difference. It was an auto so it was super slow anyways.
