Ok here is what has gone wrong with this car since I bought it...



clutch

Clutch quadrant

Hood

Alternator

Exhaust

and now the radiator....



This car is hitting some nerves with me...



My poor 2.3 may end up getting the brunt of this anger as I may swap the drivetrian out of the GT into the 2.3 since the 2.3 is getting ready to go onto its 3rd tranny....



If nothing else I may convert the 2.3 to a 5 spd put some work into the motor. get a new exhaust and get ready to swap everything out..... I am getting so damn pissed at that GT it is not even funny!!!



Who the hell said the 5.0's where more reliable than the 2.3's? Remind me to shoot them! my 2.3 has been a great car! Good ride. Good cornering. Lacking power but fun to drive. GT? Loud rough ride squeeks more than a pack of mouses in osama bin ladens *****. Cant talk to other people in the car unless you scream... yep getting close to had it with this car...





FOR SALE FOR 2500 OBO OR SHE WILL BE DISMANTLED!!!

I love my 2.3 it has never let me down and that will be one car I keep for a long time... However my damn GT.... grrr...



Now I know why the damn car was for sale!

Thats what you get for buying a fox body convertible, they drive like a wet noodle, also you bought a GT, we used to beat the be-jesus out of those cars every chance we had, between my friends and my cousin, we had next to a dozen of them. Transmissions were always **** even when they were new, one friend of mine had Ford void his warranty on transmissions after he blew his 3rd one up with under 15,000 miles on the car. But other then that, the cars took a beating. Your car is a 87, you dont think it will need the basics like clutch, radiator, alternator, exaust? Those are normal wear and tear items! And those ******* hoods never closed right, always had to slam them to close. Fix the exaust with stock replacements, and the car is quiet, then again- your car is a poorly designed convertible- if you want a convertible- you deal with extra noise, and leaks.

Local RX7 I found for sale... if I sell my GT I may go after this car... he aint asking much and I need to see what the car needs.....









But it doesnt look bad....

Rob x-7

First you would have to remove those awfull stripes.

Rotaryman88

Yea, get the Rx7! It won't be as fast as the GT right away..but it will drive WAY better

Twin89Stangs

Yeah the stripes would have to go....



problem is I am hoping to come out of this with maybe 2 grand I can spend on a car.. thats if I am lucky....



this car is for sale in my area and he wants 1700 obo....



So expect some problems.... There is also a guy I want to talk to I see a red I think base model sitting on his property. Straight body no real rust unknown mileage and mechanical shape. But I want to see if he is willing to sell it.

Rotaryman88

Is it a base 2nd gen, or base 3rd gen?

Twin89Stangs

Well base or GXL not sure... looks like a GXL....



but 2nd gen.....
