One of the cleanest 1g's that I've seen.

 

[sherloc123]

yea if you ever sell itmake sure you pm me. ha ha that car is so clean. i miss my 92 already

 

[CanadianTSi]

Very Clean Car.

Too bad you went auto to manual, many people are starting to realize the potential on the Auto and are doing the exact opposite swap.


Also good luck getting 120 mph out of a 16g.

 

[Venom55]

Should not be a problem at all getting 120mph with my FWD. My best trap speed was 116.99 on the auto tranny at 24psi. Friend of mine went 119.56 at 24psi on a manual FWD

Now with the manual and 26-27 psi/race gas, it should be douable on the EVOIII16G
