This is my 1995 Mercury Mystique GS with the 2.0 Zetec and MTX-75 transmission. currently i have put in a pioneer head unit, pioneer speakers, fog lights, spark plugs, new transmission and clutch, new front and rear brakes, painted calipers, switched oil to Mobile 1 full synthetic 5W-30 motor oil, and switched to AMS oil synthetic tranny fluid.
So, since i've gotten my 1988 Ford Tempo GLS 2 door project car, this car has become my parts getter as well as my Daily Driver, drag car, and so on. Cant beat this car too much anymore though. I've decided that it is too reliable to tinker with anymore. Once i start having problems, i'll probably pull the engine and trans and rebuild the, but until then, i'm not modding it anymore. I took it to Pittsburgh and back to get parts for the Tempo project and i got a whopping 38.7 MPG's with an engine block and about 4 boxes full of random parts.
My current best 1/4 mile time is a 16.989 @ 82mph with a slightly worse 60ft time of 2.536. The 1/8th mile came around in 10.943 @ 64.26mph. and i only burned thru 1/4 tank of gas at the drag strip, getting a combined mileage (racing/highway) of 29mpg.

Here she is when i first got her....
Although there is a nice new shiney Buick LeSabre Limited and a 1994 Corvette LT-1 in the garage, this car has been bought and will be modified by me. I do all of my own work between work scheduals and school coming up in the fall. I live with my parents (the owners of the Buick and Corvette) and they are not helping me out at all with funds for the car, school, or anything of that nature. I pay for my own school, my own car, and my own parts for me to do the modifications. Planning on going to school for Auto Mechanics.
