    Got another turbo dodge

    After a brief period of withdraw, from turbo mopar cars. I have a new project.
    I have always wanted a numbered car, and have taken a liking to the turbo sedans. With that being said I am the new owner of Shelby Lancer # 398. As with the other old turbo cars I have purchased over the years, I have learned to hope for the best but keep my expectation accordingly. I look forward to working on and preserving the Shelby Dodge legacy. More to come. After a quick wash.

    looks great. I love the H's and the shelbys are even sweeter. I think the only way I would ever sell my 89 CSX is if I was replacing it with a shelby lancer.

    Re: Got another turbo dodge

    These turbo mopars are just too hard to quite, I should have just keep the R/T, but it is in good hands with Mario. Removed the carpet last night, the smell was terrible inside the car. Floors were better than I expected, some rust on pass side, but driver's side and ebrake cable area good. FOund $2.63 in change, an old cell phone and broken glass, had a window broken at one time. More to come.

    She is an old car, but at least you've got a pretty solid platform to start with. I like the lancers a lot. I would even wager to say with an updated K frame, Koni's and equal size sway bars it would outhandle the AA body.

    Couldn't stay away, keep it stock looking, like the R/T was. Would like to run consistantly in the 13's on street tires.

    Nice work. You don't waste any time. Thanks for the kind words, too, Greg.

    Re: Got another turbo dodge

    Update on cars progress,
    Carpet was pulled and cleaned
    Floors patch welded, new sound deadening/insulation on floor
    Degreased,some of engine
    Fixed two more found oil leaks, oil supply line at flex joint by head, and sealed driver's side bolt in side of head.
    Changed oil and filter

    Went to track for some base runs, before major mods.
    Best run, right of the street right on to track:
    2.22 60 ft
    6.40
    9.26
    9.91 69.65 mph
    12.88
    15.49 87.37 mph

    automatic, g valve to 13#, stock, including exhaust

    The g valve made the wold of difference in performance. With stock boost control, the car is really slow to boost up, but once moving boost is responsive. With stock computer control, best mph was only 62.78 1/8 and 82.90 mph 1/4.

    Still has a slight oil leak, appears to be rear main seal
