Weren't the old Mustang2's 4 cylinders?

There was a year where the mustang 2 had an 80hp v8 so close enough.

The fox body had a base modle N/A 4 banger and the SVO turbo. The N/A bangers have all either been made into circle track cars, scrapped, or poorly converted to v8.

Awwww yissssssss

The Turbo 2.3 was nothing to sneeze at (back in the day anyway...)

I sometimes miss my foxbody 85 GT. First year of the 5.0, last year of the carburetor.

Brother has a 1988 Probe GT. 2.3L turbo. Has torque steer like crazy, but pulls hard once boost hits. I think it's still got less then 100k on it.

Funny, I'm bringing my old 83 GT from my dad's house in Texas up here in July. I needed another project.

I came here to post "Goldbond >> all" but apparently my thread blew up like my turbo did.

Your thread?!? BBWWAAAHHHAAAHHHAAAHHHAAAHHHAAA!!!

:party::party::party::party::party::party::party:: party::party:

New tag added I suppose.

Ok, so I mentioned earlier I had a feeling others in the club were smirking behind my back about all this, and it kinda came to light today after I updated my thread over there.

I made a comment about how someone should run "allofit" boost on his WRX and he was like "I don't want my subaru to end up like your Miata" to which I replied something along the lines of "does everyone understand that this had nothing to do with my installation or tuning?"

There were a couple replies which consisted of "Remember when you had a working non-turbo miata" and "If you install parts on your car which are broken or improperly prepared then you are at least partially responsible".

I made the comment that that was like blaming someone who changed their own oil and got a batch of oil which was bad, and their pistons siezed. It's about on par with trying to say someone is to blame because their tire self-destructed while driving down the road.

Not looking for validation here, but honest opinions. There are less "armchair mechanics" here, and more people who have actually done this kinda stuff.

Not in reference to the resolution with BEGi or financial responsibility for the mishap or any of that, but am I "to blame" for this happening?

So wait a few weeks till your car is back together, then bring it out again and tell them how much you enjoy being able to pass minivans after stop lights.

They don't understand that the failure that occurred on your turbo had nothing to do with anything you touched, or that you could control. I'm no expert but based on what you have said and my own experience taking turbos apart, the most likely cause was improper reassembly when BEGI clocked it. If they refuse to believe/understand that, what can you do?

Those guys is ams dicks. Now go out drive them :party:

Dude, have you seen how minivans take off from stop lights? Soccer moms don't mess around, them cars are QUICK.

Why are you cheating on us at another forum with people that obviously don't even care about you? That hurts, man.

Well, it's the forum for the local area car club, that I'm on the board for lol. And most of them get it. But it's the silent majority and the vocal minority.

Also saw your new tag.

So its like the scca.

Plus, with embarassing shit like this: https://www.miataturbo.net/prefabbed...2/#post1074871

And this: https://www.miataturbo.net/megasquir...-delete-77014/

in my history, I'm sure you can figure out where they're coming from.

Like I said, there's no way in hell I could have truboed my car without this forum--even if it is filled with more dicks than a Miata driver's butthole. ;) ;)

No he doesn't. There wasn't an 88 Probe, and they didn't have 2.3s either. :fawk::rofl:
