Default My New Daily Driver: $200 89 MX-6 Turbo

*************************UPDATED****************** ****

so i washed the car, waxed it, lowered it...and put some rims on it. it runs/drives/cold ac...

here are a few new pics.















...from the original post....

yes...since someone bought the 90 TSi AWD i had built for daily driving...i was forced to find another daily driver so i can work on the colt more often.

the car has mustang injectors, aftermarket bov, bully clutch (aftermarket or so i'm told), and cold air conditioning. i was told by the guy who owned it that it made 250whp although i'm guessing its closer to 200whp. i plan on putting a fmic on it, (has a small stock fmic), nice wheels, lowering it, hybrid turbo (should make around 260whp at 14psi), and exhaust...

here are a few pictures, for 200.00 i think its a pretty decent deal.







HUGE TURBO STOCK...hahahaha




and for those who feel like this car has no hope (you may be right)...

i offer a picture of a turbo mx6 in orlando...

chet after only meeting you once, reading your post and seeing a few pics of your cars i have a few perdictions for this car

1. every part of the exhaust from the manifold to the o2 housing will be ceramic coated
2. it will be 20x cleaner than it is now
3.it will end up with way more go fast parts than you first planed
4. it will be repectably fast but you will say"it's ok but if I....."

nice looking car, i love the "hey what the hell just beat me" factor


ok enough blabering, im goung back to drininking my beer...

Not a bad price, so its running fine and everything for $200. Wish I could find a cheap daily driver for that price.
