New guy in Il..

[Birddog]

Ran into a member (not literally!) at the local Home Despot today and he highly recommended joining this site. I've been lurking for a while, mostly searching for answers to my small "FAQ" type of questions.. Must have been fate, I usually take the golf cart there!!
New to Merkur but no stranger to turbo Fords and Dodges. I've been having a lot of fun with Omni GLH-Ts..

She has some issues but she is for sure a solid example. The thing that made me hand over the dough was that it really dosen't look like anyone has ever tried to modify it other than a radio. It may be the best $500 car I have ever owned! I just did the brakes tonight and next week she goes in to have the trans done. Yes I'm having the C3 rebuilt, I want a T-5 swap but I also want to enjoy the end of summer and fall with it.. T-5 next year.. Or C4?? Hmmm

I'll get some pics tomorrow!

Thanks! Forgot my manners for a minute..

The GLH is a great unsung hero from the 80s.. 14 psi, an IC, 3" exhaust, a good trans and drag radials can put you in the 11s quick and insanely cheap!

Guess that's the formula for any turbo car though..
