Obviously the rumors of a super clean turbo aspire ran on megasquirt are totally false. Otherwise we would have seen pictars by now.

[Aspire SVT]

Well it's green its not super clean, it's my dd. there have been various photos of it posted around the site. I'm just going to try to create a thread of everything for it. I will do the same for the 1997 eventually as I've never posted the photos of it I said I would

It is completely impossible to build a turbo Aspire, much less use Megasquirt.* I predict it will never get done. (But if you do manage to do it, we will need complete notes and pix.)

Aspire SVT, do not read the next line. Thank you.

I'm currently sourcing photos off my photobucket. It has been daily driven in turbo form since December and Megsquirted since February I believe. It runs great. Need a little more cold idle tweaking. But it feels like a different car in oh so such a good way!!

Obviously this car is complete fiction since you are not providing pictures, and deliberately avoided coming to Indystiva today.

Banned for unethical build thread activity.

EDIT: No doubt whatever pictures you provide will just be photoshopped. And if you bring it to Madness, it will just have a fake turbo made out of wood or something in the engine bay. And a fake Megasquirt box made from a cigar box.

Just in case I am wrong, not that that has ever happened, I would like to get info from you on the Megasquirting part, since I'd like to do that to my Aspire too.

Haha off to a nice start, did you buy this car new or like new?

[Aspire SVT]

It was purchased in 1997 as second owner with 5339 miles on it as my first vehicle from my fathers lincoln mercury dealer. The first owner laid it on its side and forfeit the lease. It received about 3 grand in new ford body parts. My uncle hung a new quarter on the left rear and it received new lamps fenders bumper covers hatch, back in 1997. My father did all the body work at home. The body work is now aging but is planned for refreshing.
