Picking it up today at six, and then I'll get more pictures. Unfortunately, it's the 90hp 2.3 4-cylinder engine with an automatic.... But I didn't have much choice when I bought it for $600, so STFU. Current plans are to redo the black trim, since it's turning yellow on the back bumper and it's just faded in general, and then... that's all I have in mind right now. |

Nowhere near as bad as the Jag V12 that only puts out a little over 100. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
I honestly have no idea why it's so underpowered, but as soon as I find a job, that's going to change. Unless it's too late to matter. I only plan on keeping it for a year, unless one of my parents wants to use it while I'm in college. I do wish I was getting the blue one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif) It's much cooler.

Probably won't redo the paint. It is pretty bad, but a quality paint job would nearly double the cost of the car. It's just not in my budget at the moment.

plastidip the black trim, problem solved. fyi plastidip is what i used to black out the front of my car. you can get it at home depot for cheap.
Alternatively you can use a regular pink rubber eraser (no joke, it works for stained matte black pieces. Just scrub the stain off and then wipe away the shavings) to take out stains from it and then use some tire-shine on it. Won't last forever but good to do each time you wash it. |

early american 4 cylinders weren't very high revving engines. They were built similar to the way they built the v8's. They rev well under the point where horsepower is higher than torque which is somewhere around 5120 rpm. As a result, this motor makes 90hp, but nearly 125 ft lb's of torque. Whereas a higher revving engine like a honda would make 140 hp on the same torque numbers. Horsepower is only a function of your torque and rpms.

I will...... Tomorrow, or possibly Wednesday. It's been sitting for two months and won't start. But the seller, who is now officially the most awesome person ever, said "I promised you a running car, and that's what you're getting." He's doing all the work on it.
