Now THAT is a steal!
Keep in mind the 2.3 can handle roughly 25 lbs of boost with a proper head gasket on a stock bottom end... Whoooosh Psssttt! :D
I test drove one before I bought my old Escort, and it came down to I needed a commuter for roughly 180 km a day. If my driving would have been local, I would have been rocking an '87 XR4Ti in silver with black leather. :(
BAT will become your friend. Order yourself a 'guibo' now, or upgrade to a one piece drive shaft ASAP! :)
Oh, and naz, 12's come along with a boost controller, a 3" down pipe & exhaust, and a FMIC. Stock turbo, block, head and manifolds, the 2.3 was capable of 300+ hp in a body shell lighter than a Fox Mustang.
