Thought I would start a project log for my Daytona. Hopefully this will help keep me motivated and let me track my progress. About 10 years ago I had a 1986 lancer es and then a 1989 turbo van. Got away from turbo dodges for a while but I missed my lancer so I started looking on and off for another one, yeah not many around anymore. I came across this shelby z a little over a year ago. I went and checked it out and couldn't leave a complete 87 tII car rotting in a field, so on the trailer it went. It's rough as most turbo dodges seem to be at this point but is fairly solid for an IL car. Got it running ok last year and added a socketed lm and a boost button cal last year. Made it till oct before it blew a head gasket. Put a fresh head on it this year with a forward motion cam, turbo with a bigger compressor wheel and 2 1/2 swing valve, +40's, a 3 bar, and redid the fuel system pump to rail. Picked up some fiero wheels and 225/50's today which are a big improvement over the 15" pumpers and junk 195/60's. I already put poly bushings in the front arms but the insulators I got for the sway bar were wrong so I need to find those and it definitely needs new dampeners and springs.
It probably won't ever be nice but as long as it is fun I'll keep driving it.
