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.

 

Best 1/4 mile time with full interior

R/T...   .594

60...   2.506

330...    7.187

1/8...    11.115

MPH...   62.64

1000...    14.473

1/4...    17.304

MPH... 79.90

 

i want to be running low to mid 16's by next summer if at all possible, which i think it is.

 new pics of the interior, needs cleaned out, but the trunk and back half are almost done.

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.

Whats up bro, I actually moved to Myrtle Beach, Do not have the tempo now BUT I just got a ZX2, I am excited to get started. I want to get back into the car audio shop like I had in Ohio, BUT I am in graphics. I am doing vehicle wraps, and you know me and my lights I found a way to light the wrap up, HOLY CRAP. Well anyways if you know anyone who wants to wrap their car Let me know man OK. I am doing them really inexpensive and I am all over the country all summer long doing the installs. this winter when it dies down, And if I do enough wraps I will be sporting the ZX2 . LOL

I ended up going to Carlisle this past week but don't worry, that probably won't happen again lol. I think the next time I might have a chance to come down would be Easter weekend. I'll definitely let you know.
