In NY, challenge priced, on GC coilovers, no Jim Pierce bits

 

 

The seller is good about responding.

I don't know what a gb or a bp is, and I'm lame enough to not know who jim pierce is (other than my tax accountant). I do know what coil overs are cheeky

But wasn't there a escort gt on here recently? For more than that? I think it was white as well?

I remember thinking "I wouldn't mind driving that, even though I've never liked ford escorts"

LOL.

BG is a mazda based chassis, they came in a lot of flavors:

BP is a mazda engine, they like boost within reason and are pretty solid things:

That's a good deal for a good car w/ pretty good parts on it!

Since the financial manager approved my purchase of a motorcycle for me to ride to work, in an effort to save gas, she had expressed some doubts about her worrying too much. I would consider something along those lines instead, but I looked up the average mpg on them, and it's not as good as I would have expected. 
thanks for the info, though.

The short gearing kills MPG, updating to modern injectors and a standalone yields 32-34mpg, of course you're looking at about $750 to do so between the ECU, injectors and wideband.

That's really good bang for a buck... and gets it into drive a beater to work territory.
