because I'm board and that normally leads to flights of the imagination, lets play a what would you do game.
Christmas morning was actually fairly okay weather. So I hopped in the ranger and went for a drive (to get Redbull cause I don't like coffee). Anyway the truck fired on the first try, and idled like a champ. Cam chopping away at the morning quiet. As I backed out of the driveway I was surprised that the exhaust tic it normally has when cold was barely audible. I also normally have to let it warm up for a few minutes before it will rev without sputtering, but not this day. She wanted to run right away. As I pulled out on the main road, I laid into the boost, 1st gear (tire spin) 2nd gear (more spin) 3rd gear (oops got pretty sideways) figured I'd just skip to 5th and not die in a ditch. lol
I pulled into the 7-11 and parked at a pump. As I looked back at the truck I remembered just how much I love hat little turd. Sure the turbo is going out and it smokes like a weed eater when I let out of the boost, sure its not as fast as my daily driver, sure it leaks like crazy and smells kinda funny after it rains. But damnit I've never had as much fun in any car as I have in that truck.
So here it is, the game of what if... If this was your truck, what would you do to it?
As it sits right now its a 2.3t, ported head, a237 cam, t3/t4 turbo at 25psi, mustang T-5 trans, aluminum drive shaft, 8.8 rear with 373's 4 wheel disk brakes, no sway bar, no heat, no a/c, dream beams 4" drop beams, and an axle flip, and it weighs 2905lb with a full tank of gas and me not in it. I've got a stand alone ecu, electric boost controller, a Holset hybrid turbo, all new IC piping, HKS bov, water to air intercooler with ice box, and line lock, sitting in the garage about to go on it. oh and I do have the centercaps for those wheels, along with the flat black weld draglites I normally run on it.
