4/8/09

I've acquired a full parts car so I can finally get this thing back on the road.

The driveline will be nothing like it used to be, in fact it'll have a few less cylinders.

plans do still include a large turbo, but the priority right now is to get the car functioning and painted.

new poweplant:



it'll all make sense as i post updates on the progress.

i'm a slacker

the car isn't close to finished

a lot of plans have changed, but it'll still be finished and it'll still be boosted again, i just have a bit of work to do.



UPDATED 11/07 down a few posts!!!!

i'll copy my Probetalk.com post to start off

it's very brief descriptions of everything and i can go into more detail on the turbo install if anyone is interested...

for those of you that don't know much about a Probe:

The GTS model was a limited production model offered only in 97; that simply had the stripes, and some other subtle appearence things, the drivetrain is the same as a GT

the 93-97 Probe GT's are powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5 liter Mazda V6
putting down only 135ish to the wheels...

i do not have dyno numbers on my car yet..

enjoy!!!


In August of 2004, just after my 18th birthday I bought myself a $4300 present.

The car was overpriced, and sitting on a shady dealership lot.

However, I could not let a perfect 97 Probe GTS pass me by.

on August 19, 2004 I drove the car home.

It was perfect with no scratches, dents, or flaws. There was nothing out of place on the car. Even the original stereo was still there.


After a mazdaspeed sticker on the windshield a few weeks later i had this:
