Found a decent beater in Missouri, no bids yet..

There is a hatch at a local pullapart with the tan interior. Thing was in really good shape too. It's been raped now. I wonder what made the owner sell it to the junk yard? It had a new main relay and fuel pump in it that I took for my beater.

Also, I've never had a problem running 100% antifreeze before. Plus it will help keep your heat as high as possible during these cold winter months. I'd leave it and dilute it when summer comes around again so it doesn't run as hot.

Just curious, how would it make it run hotter? The thermostat is still going to open around 170ish.

Good point. I have issues with my car overheating in the summer months with a half size radiator. That's why I said that. I'm used to my particular car.

Just running antifreeze with make you run hotter. Nothing dissipates heat better than water. Antifreeze is used in conjuction because of its anti freezing abilites and anti corrosion properties.

Drain some and put some water in there.

The way the cruise control hooks up to the gas pedal is different from 88/89 to 90/91.

i put a JRSC on my old roomates ITR, we chipped the ECU, and tuned it in one evening.

they are pretty easy to work on, if you have all the parts.

they are fun too.

Wagons are slightly different. I know people more skilled than I in fabrication have made sedan assemblys work in wagons. Same differences in the 88-89 and 90-91s as well.

Do supercharges require some type of cooling? Such as oil or water from the motor? I imagine they do, but I'm a turbo guy(no SC experience). If I have to run oil lines and **** anyway, I'm going to turbo the motor instead.

First freeze last night

I'll eventually be going with a JRSC myself. Done the turbo thing and it was fun, never dabbled in SC's though. I'm not looking to make an insane amount of power in the EF, but having 300 pushing me around would be LOTS of fun.

I've seen it done on a GSR with the right pulley setup, cams, and a good tune... so yeah. I think 322 to the wheels was the most I've seen. Not too worried about top end, off the line/out of the corners is where it's at.

Cause the heatcapcity of alcohol blows next to water, gallon per gallon, water can transport more heat.

Can anyone recommend an axle back for a hatch? I was going to do some power adders.....but then I remembered that fixing rust > power. So now I'm fixing rust and just attempting to figure out the asthetics of my car.
