I was using an electric fan from a 4 cylinder mustang Free from a friend. Used metal mounting strap from autozone to install it to radiator. This increased mid range throttle response, surprisingly, less the weight of the original pulley clutch fan.
And all that turned my truck into a miniature beast. I need a cam bad, but with the header, exhaust, carb and head contributing to it's mean rumble at idle, and on acceleration, I am very happy with the results. It sounds like no pissed off rice burner, more like half a thumping V-8 on Flowmaster.
I once had a bed toneau cover, but it was weathered bad by the arizona sun.
Broke one of my eagle rims so I'm running on a set of machined 16x7 ZR71 wheels for now, plan on a set of 17 or really light 18's for performance.
RACING:
I have lots of VIDEO of me racing my truck in S.C.C.A SOLO2/AUTOCROSS events as well as pictures. I will get Pictures on here as soon as I get a new scanner.
PLANS:
I am mostly about performance and my father in law has 3, 2.6 turbo conquests laying around and a couple dodge V-8's as well. So I am not sure which way I want to go yet.
OTHER PROJECTS:
I have a 86 Conquest TSI with a shared 88 Conquest TSI parts car with my father-in-law and his fast 87 Conquest TSI. Thanks Tom :)
