You would be my hero if/when you do. Every time I'm on the highway I'm like "Disty, please don't fail me now!". Haha. And you can always post pics and post anything KL related in here (in fact, please do). I still drool every time I see a PGT, MX-6, 626 or Milly on the road.

Converting to a coil pack would get rid of the disty issue also..that is a much more conventional conversion..but usually done with megasquirt..either way I will be sure to post up the info for the COP conversion

good deal.

 

[PrinceValorum]

why do you drool at a pgt?

I mean I'm obviously biased, but I firmly feel that it's one of the most underrated cars, especially for the money. It was THE standard for fwd handling in the day. That's what C&D or one of those mags held everything against. The motor sounds like heaven, makes decent power, has some great potential, they look alright stock, and again, the price. You can find riced out Lambos if you look hard enough, it doesn't detract from the car model, though.

heres my PGT the one i had before i just bought my P5

Omg... Gave me goose bumps. I've only ever seen one that came close to looking that good. It was black, so maybe that's what JK was talking about. I can't find the pic now. The MX6's look awesome, too.

And obviously WeakSauce's MX6, too.

Sorry for continuing the derailing, Evan.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no de-railment in this thread. If it's positive, post away.

And now I'm going to search Craigslist for an MX-6. Dick.

edit- I just threw up a little... Why do people paint their interior? Why? Ack.

Too bad I don't know how to work on cars... This looks like a good deal.

Good engine, rust free, V6, 5sp....for $800, and you're NOT going to buy that!? Isnt' that the DD you wanted?

What do "gear problems" mean anyway, needs a tranny? Whoopie!

 

[PrinceValorum]

Dick.

Daww! That's the nicest thing you've ever called me!

The thing to keep in mind about the black one is that it has the Mazdaspeed front bumper, or kit on it, and good luck finding that...

 

[Teeson]

this proves you have to get a black one... that is so clean!
but go wingless

You deserve to win, pretty sure you've put in more work than the competition. Good luck!

 

[KZL_99ES]

Voted! good luck man! so far you're on top with 12 votes!

...though i do think it's funny how there are thousands of people on here yet the most votes anyone ever really gets is about 40 or so...

hopefully that changes!
