'nother set:

(sorry for the nitrous switch tag mispelling - hee hee) It's set for a 75 shot.

The suspension and brakes have been upgraded w/ the same fervor. Handles and stops fantastic. I use this car for the street and autox. No dyno yet unfortunately. However it can kick my SVO's butt and it's dyno'd at 240hp/316tq.

oh, here's the hatch, everythings hidden under the tonneau cover. No rear seats/carpet/insulation.

Hope you like. I really enjoy this car, although I don't drive it much. I mostly drive my SVO. I've only put about 1k on it in the last 7 months.

I like the label for the nitros switch!

I've been real pleased with it. Certainly enjoy driving it.

I think my LX and my SVO have a grudgematch going on to be the most powerful. The LX is in the lead, but the SVO is about to go under the scalpel.

troll talk eh? I bet you're still a teen. I'm not totally sure I understand your english, but if you are asking how it compares to a 5.0, it's a lot faster than most. Even my svo is faster than most 5.0's.

I can't post ya a timeslip on the LX. I haven't had it to the track yet or on a dyno.

Default 2.3L spirit

Sweet ride!!! I also know that the 2.3L have spirit in there, cause when I was moving back to IOWA, while I was driving between St. Luios, MO and Culumbus, MO. A 5.0 came on the intersate and challenged me to the next exit, well I smoke her...lol... with my little 2.3L. The a couple exits later, a Lancer flew up on me and it slowed down to get beside me, wantted ta run me also, I just reved my 2.3L ta say "ok lets go", dropped my car to 4th hit the gas, got the rpms bout 5grand, cought 5th, the lancer was stay'n up with me, so I just let the horses out all the way. after the lancer stay with me after a couple miles, he gave up..... he had his motor screaming. I was close ta have'n my pony floored. I dunno how fast we was going cause the stock LX speed gauge only say 85. lol... although, I did need gas real bad after them two runs.....lol.... K'Lar

Hey man nice ride I am currently working on my 90 lx,I want to go turbo also and I want to do a real neat job so it will be a while before I get to embarress some V8's, but it will be a blast when I do cause most of my friends (I am sad to say) drive chevy's.

um...sorry for the timeline. Here's a page that shows a better pic of what you wanted to see. http://www.140cilx.stangnet.com/photo4.html

Glad you guys like it. I just took my wife out in it tonite. 2nd time she's been in it since '99. That's what happens when you've got kids.

I hope to do up my 2.3 so that I can embarass a few Chevy V8's. I've got quite a ways to go before that, but the fun is in the journey.
