Re: 89 mirage with 2.3 stroker
I got the car with the motor in it and maybe 2,000 on the motor. I don't think there are even that many miles on it. It had a 20g on it when I got it and after having it a few days, I took it apart to put a bigger turbo in, put a FWD tranny on (had an awd one with a VCE) and had a few other things done. I put a new HG on it, new timing and all new wheel bearings. I cannot remember who did the motor but I remember researching the company before I bought the car. The company specialized in race motors (4 cylinders and mustangs if I remember correctly The owner before told me it cost $4,000 for the motor rebuild, I do not have any receipts. I did compression and leak down test when I bought it and there were no issues. Compression was 179-180 each hold and should still be that way.
The car is hard to move right now. I think the tranny is stuck in gear. I am not really looking for trades.
It will be a good fast cheap car for someone.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
