1 Bad 68

I bought a new car, so all my toys have to go! Up for sale is my '88 Mitsubishi Starion 5spd black on black and in excellent condition! The car currently has 134K miles, the new engine I just built has only 1,300 miles and the transmission has 9,500 miles on it since rebuild. This car has over $10K invested, most done in the past year and a half, my loss is your gain, I'm sure it'll go to a good home! If there are any pictures you need me to take, or any questions you need me to answer, just email me @ Brandon_Martin@bellsouth.net The car is located in Huntsville, AL which is N. Alabama. Had the car on the dyno today 5/04/04 to get the a/f straightened out w/ the 1050cc primary injector swap (which took 1.5 hours and 20 pulls) This netted 236.38whp and 267.36wtq @ 19psi on pump. The efficeincy of this turbo is 28psi, which can be achieved on VP C-16 race gas and another dyno tuning session. If the purchaser would like me to tune the car for race gas and save the settings I'd be willing to, as I'm curious to see what kind of HP it would do at that boost level. Of course with this engine I built, a MPI set up would net you over 300whp on pump I am sure! Its very unfortunate I'll never get to do this myself. I would drive this car anywhere w/ confidence, it purs like a kitten and has never left me stranded! Below are the specs and a few pictures, then a link to the rest of the pictures. I'm looking to get $6,500 for the car, which is very very reasonable!
