OK GUYS...I NEED OPINIONS HERE.....



I currently have an 88 Vert with 115000 miles on it...the body is in great shape, so is the interior, pretty good car overall, could use an exhaust though....



I also have an 87 TII with 158000 miles on the car, the body is in pretty good shape, good paint, couple knicks and dings(nothing major)...the engine is a 89 jspec with around 30k miles supposedly that just got put in by the previous owner, but he was too dumb to get it running cuz he didnt know he couldnt use an 87 ecu with an 89 motor, which made him frustrated enough to sell it....(hey, made me happy cuz I BOUGHT IT) It also came with the old 87 block, intake manifolds, and turbos, and some other parts here and there, But I dont know what happened to that motor, He said it like blew up on him or something going to college one year..which is why he bought the jspec.



I dont know what to do, cuz I have kinda wanted and turbo vert, But I also want a good fast car that will toast people on the street, and I know my vert weighs around 3300 lbs, and the TII weighs about 1950 lbs. So I figured I would get some opinions from ya...THANKS....

well a vert only weighs about 300 pounds more than a coupe so your really off there. The vert would be fast with a tII conversion. Why dont you just rebuild the 87 block and put it in the vert and keep both turbo?

what was stripped or altered to get her down that low..

I think it was a typo. He probably meant to say 2950

its hard to get an fc under 2200lbs...



mike

Sorry Guys...that was my bad...i did mean 2950....Im at work and my brain is hurting right now..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.png

How much would it cost to rebuild and port an engine? Maybe if I had a little cash left from modding the TII, I could think about making both cars turbo..not a bad idea... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.png

i think it would be cool to leave the t2 stock, and daily drive it. and mod the piss out of the vert



mike

oh daily drive the vert and mod the piss outta the TII https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Ill try to post some pics of the cars tonight....Keep the thoughts coming guys...I need all the help i can get here....

OH YEAH......



Bought the TII for 1500.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683651.gif

those are both nice



mike

lucky bastard! That T2 looks just like my NA... I didn't know they had the K8 color option on the T2.. cool. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/bigthumb.gif

Thanks FCmaniac....



Ok...I figured that Im going to have a budget of around 5000 to play with...

What would you guys suggest???



OH...Also will prolly put the jspec in the VERT...

I figured Haltech for sure..since the motor will be out anyway...



But, what should I get with the money...rebuild? port? Anyone know of any mechanic around my areas that know there stuff about 7's that could give me an estimate on some stuff?



I definitely want to do this right the first time...



Thanks...

So are you going to keep both cars?

I would sell one of the two and make one really nice car

Well Im probably going to use the TII for the donor car for most of the parts I need, Then Ill probably part out the rest of everything I have...but YES, in the end, Ill have one really nice car....
