Recently I realized exactly how much I've neglected my little ranger these past few years. I was invited to be a part of a new Roadkill show in Phoenix a little while back. I was so excited until I started reading the rules and realized my truck would not be allowed to participate. She's still fun to drive, but honestly I wouldn't trust it past a 30 mile trip. My wiring is a rats nest, it leaks like crazy, and everything rattles. Sometimes it runs great, and sometimes, it bangs and pops and goes nowhere. I don't want to change the look of the truck on the outside, but I do want to make it do everything better. I'd love to
so here's the plan.
Yesterday I ordered a new engine harness
I have a PIMP unit mega squirt ecu,
electric boost controller
HKS blow off valve
all new 3" aluminum intercooler piping
new intake
new header being made
new accessory brackets and belt tensioner
manual steering gear
larger better not smoking Turbo
and I'll be running new exhaust most likely right fender exit.
I recently put antique
I'm also going to patch the holes in the firewall from the removed heater box, and repaint the engine.
The other day I put antique plates on it, and don't drive it as a daily anymore. It now officially a toy, so I can get away with all the crazy crap I've always wanted to do but didn't.
I'd really like to run the power tour with it at least once in my life, and I figure a next year goal isn't to crazy to shoot for. Other than that, it's nothing but car meets and racetrack, maybe the occasional run to the dump. I'm very excited about the idea of finally giving this little truck the life I've always wanted for it. And who knows, maybe I can even be a little fast.
