My car is a 1988 Carb'ed car with a 5 speed... It all started with my friend who was given a 93 festiva efi 5 speed with a blown head... He rebuilt the head and drove the crap out of it, became pizza delivery car and his play car.. Long story short he sold that car and after about a year decided it was a bad idea and bought another one (my current car) but this one he wanted to be a turbo'd car.. So we talked about what it would need to do the swap and figured well if we can find everything then we will attempt it... Late one night i look on craigslist find a xr2 mint with 100k miles and its in st. augustine. So we go get it.. We take the motor out of this donor car and swap it into his car... Then it sits for almost a year he ran out of money on the project and he was just short of it being 100% road worthy needed tach and boost gauge and etc.. Also he couldn't afford to insure the car and get the tags and everything... So he tells me i can buy it from him, so i do... I have done alot to this car and we have been through thick and thin... I built this car for him but in the back of my mind new i would own it one day which is crazy to think about...
After a year and a half since starting the project she is coming along quite nicely I have repainted the car sonic blue, put some 15's on it, and it has the b6t swap... This car could be a daily driver in my mind, i put about 200 miles on the car and the motor before taking it on a 1200 mile trip to FM3.. It was awesome times, and even better knowing that i could do something like that with something i built basically from nothing... The week i got back i had 12 inch tires and ran out at the track and put down a 13.9 the car runs like a scalded dog... It surprises me every time i drive it, and gets alot of looks when its pulling around town LOL... Biggest thing about this car is it has been transformed into something it never looked like it could have been... The pics dont do the car justice but still look good...
Before anything
Paint
After
Still needed some work but heck not bad for my first one..
Engine
Before I left for FM3

One for the road...
Thanks for looking, Good luck....
