Description: Selling my 1991 Dodge Shadow ES. The enforcer II turbo has gone again for 2nd time .It for some reason or another it is taking out the seals and it is getting strong oil pressure 35 at 3000rpms 12 at 1000rpm and i always let it cool down before shutting it off. It has developed a strange rattle and we have looked for the cause but could not find. It is NOT not valve train,or rods or any thing as i have looked top to bottom and cant find why it does it. It stops making the rattle when the car is at idle and you can make it vary its sound just by adding or taking vacuum from the pvc system, valve is out of the system not using it so it is not that. Sounds like a paint can rattle if that makes sense. Other then that it still pulls really hard and runs A1.Still runs now just smoking when you rev it up so i know the turbo is on its way out and i am tired of fixing. I have tons of FWD performance , Forward motion and Turbo unleash stuff on this car.Spent a good 14 grand on stuff. Reason for selling is i have no interest in fixing it as i have had more then enough of turning wrenches. Spent tens years of my life on this car, no more. It may be something simple or hard but it will have to be trouble shooted. Car runs smooth as silk but is starting to smoke from the turbo.i can move the shaft a little so i know it is on its way out. I have so many new parts on this car it is a gold mine for any TD person . All of which have less then 5000kms on them. Go to my car domain site http://www.cardomain.com/ride/677471/1991-dodge-shadow for all the stuff it has plus pictures and a video.Yes the car is still the exact same as in the pictures with the larger intercooler install . I added a link to my TD garage with pictures of it there as well. Email me at master2g@rogers.com if interested. I cant get my pics posted but i assure you i can send video pictures or what ever you want via email. If some one wants to let me email them photos i can but for now i am trying to post but cant.Like i say it is no problem to send you what ever you want in information if interested. here is a list of parts used on the car as it is now

Has it had body and paint work done?

[shadowdude]

in 2004 a guy clipped my front end but the uni frame was never bent ,they replaced the bumper and fixed the hood thats all. has a floor patch back in 2002 as well and it is all good under there as i never drove it in harsh weather . I had it inspected and register as of 4 days ago for the year.She passed. the body has 182 000 never winter driven and the whole drive train has been done with only 5000 kms on it. Motor transmission all brakes front and back , solid car my friend. not brand new perfect but great shape non the less.I had it buffed a few times since if you get right up close yea your gonna see some spots here and there for normal road drivng but it is nice over all.

[shadowdude]

Like i say guys do not be afraid to ask for even the smallest detail, nothing to hide with the car , it has to be trouble shooted yes but it has had a pamper life and nothing but the best of stuff put on it so i am sure some here could have it going perfect in no time.It still runs fine ,idles fine just rev it up and the turbo smoke for a second then clears up and the rattle only happens when you coming to a stop off the gas and then when stopped it clears up. Shut the car off let it sit for ten minute start it and not a rattle to be found, go for a drive step on it and the ratlle comes back. repaet as said and this is how it goes. Weird simple little gremlin if you ask me but I am 40 now not over the hill but old enough to have had enough lol. Being a tech as well doesn't leave you wanting to turn wrenches when you get home. Car is a gold mine of usable new performance parts for more then just a shadow as we all know these could go into another car for a fraction of the price to get each part new separate.

[shadowdude]

just in case some are hesitant on the rattle issue i want to be clear that it is not a constant rattle. I do believe i posted here once before on it.It subsided for bit and now its back.Start the first thing and you hear nothing motor is solid and idles great.Rev it up still no rattle.Take it for a run warm it up still no rattle.WOT it and come to a stop and you can hear the rattle just before you stop then it subsides and goes away until you go again come to a stop and it only does it then. So with that being said it isn,t a piston deal or bad vlave train as the pistons are je forge aluminum 8;1 pistons and lifters are new. Just wanted to clear that up.

Beautiful car! If you were closer i would be trying to sell stuff to get this, Good Luck with the sale

[Shadowjake]

It's pretty! Good luck on the sell!

[shadowdude]

Thanks guys, my location sure doesn't help your right. Sadly though if i cant sell in decent time i will end up sending it to retire my ride program or some thing as i just am not going to keep it. I would part it out but i don't even want to get in there and turn wrenches to take stuff off. Some one save this car from a horrible death lol....

[shadowdude]

BTW i am throwing in with the car a OTC Enhanced scan tool , mac tools version with case , cables and cartridges as well. it work great and is very rare to find this red one by mac tools. Here is a link to one just like mine.I cant post pics so i found this site just to show you guys what it looks like.IT IS NOT mine just using this link to show a pic as i cant post one of mine which is identical in every detail.

Such a gorgeous car..... why do you have to be so far away?! Boo!!

[shadowdude]

SOLD ! Going to a good home in North Carolina. Owner has lots of TD experiance so it is gonna have a good life. Thanks for the replies .

[turbovanman²]

Sorry to hear, but glad its not getting crushed,

[redirocrt92]

Glad to be getting back in the TD game. I'm actually in South Carolina but same difference. lol. We'll take good care of her shadowdude

[shadowdude]

Oops..South Carolina.. my bad, yea i will miss it some turbovanman but honestly i just didn't have it in me any more to wrench on the car after 12 years. He is starting fresh and should have it running strong in no time. that car has a lot of history and "kill" stories, so time for a new chapter with a true TD guy.

Where at in South Carolina? Me and several other guys are in the Upstate area.

I'm right down 26 just before Columbia. What's the car scene like up there? Columbia's kinda spent so I been going to Charleston for the past few weeks.

It not too bad up here, there is a decent group in Spartanburg I've been hanging out with. They have respect for our cars too. Greenville has a pretty big scene too from what I hear, but more late-models and a lot more money involved Last time I rode out there the first guy I talked to wanted to run me for $100 in his '03-04 Cobra lol. Spartanburg is a lot more laid back, and there's plenty of fun runs. Went to the mountains with a group last Friday night/Sat morning.

Sending you a PM.

Sounds great, I just run for fun too. I had a guy in a GN wanting to run for a grand a few weeks ago but too much drama ensues in money races. I'd like to get a shot at that Cobra though.

I spun the snout pulley off last weekend so my car is going to be down for a week or two but I'll head that way as soon as it gets going again or the Shadow arrives.

[Force Fed Mopar]

Sounds good, look forward to it!
