Non-turbo newb

Hey everybody. I drive a bone stock 1991 Smurf (mariner) blue as a daily driver and a silver supercharged 2004 as a toy.

Been thinking about a MS but have no experience with them. So trying to collect some information about it with a supercharger setup. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That work? They're both a bit out of date as I have relocated the IAC since these were taken.

The TDR pieces are sooooo nice looking.

Of course, I'm biased in that department.

It's close, but not quite. This one also has blue leather interior and a blue canvas top. I bought it from a preacher near here with about 8400 miles on it 2.5 years ago.
