It's still sitting on my shelf. I wanted to use it to keep spool time reasonable since it's just a winter car, but my decision to run E85 changed that.
The car already has problems starting below -12 F. Since I'm sure E85 wont help that situation I'll have to have a backup car for the really cold days. And with 2 cars I'm less likely to get annoyed by the slow spool times.

Just have a tune for pump and run it for a couple months. Or be a man.
I ran into E85 and my car would take a decent time to start.

If tuned right, it should start on E85 no problem despite the temperature.

Yeah, we'll see what happens. This car isn't long for this world so I'm eying the Neon SRT4 as a good candidate to replace it when the Colt collapses into a pile of rust. Or lands upside down on fire in a swamp. Whichever comes first.

Thats sad too, because thats an original turbo model which are more rarer than gvr4's. They only imported like 1500 of these for one year, 89.

I got a buddy with a super clean SRT-4 if you're looking for one :biggrin:

I think I have some pics of it in the gallery here....

Very sad, but as you can see here this car was a goner when I bought it 3 years ago for $300. With all the rust this car could never have been saved.

As for the SRT4, I'm gonna have to wait until I sell at least one car, probably two. Plus I still really want to buy an Evo 9 while I can still get my hands on one with low miles. Oh yeah and a house probably isn't a bad idea either. So yeah, gonna be about 6 months unless I find a screaming deal on one with a LSD.

Yeah, whoever owned it before you must've been pretty ignorant.

I think he wants about 14k for it. It's one of the nicest ones you'll ever find and it's pretty damn quick too.It's only got about 30k miles on it as well.
