Crazy K Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Sometimes... for a first car... You should stick with what you have and mod it a bit. 3.1 mpfi+ 94-95 1.6 ratio rockers maybe stiffer valve springs? a BEN chip custom exhaust cold air intake/K&N filter? it would be an excellent driver and very reliable. sometimes... reliability > HP I often see and think that when someone gets their first car... they shouldn't be thrown in to the type of car that oozes raw horsepower. get used to that first... before moving up.

I do agree with you, I didn't suggest the swap...I just simply said if you are going to do one make it worth the hassle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jman093 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 One of the best (and easiest) suspension mods out there for W's is strut bars. I mention this now because Aweb80 on this forum makes them and is about to put in an order this Friday for his famous rear strut bar. If you hurry you can probably get an order in. The thread is in the group purchase section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadbel Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 the first thing I am planning to do is get a new air filter and improve the suspension, it is not cool not safe trying to go fast and not being able to control her. then I am going to head to the engine, fix it there so that it continues to run with a little more kick. learning to drive in a hemi magnum I think I am OK with a little more kick for now.

Night Fury Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 That's really pretty! Mine did a similar thing, and a bad fuel injector was the culprit. Check into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
