Eewh... Well at least it's correct wheel drive. I wouldn't blow too much
money on engine mods, though. An old buddy of mine is a fanatic for the
Merkur XR with the same engine, and sorta "big name" in that crowd. After
mucho $$ on cams, headwork, ECU, ignition box, boost control... you name
it... it runs like low 15 ETs at the strip :( I think he has turned it
into a decent autox car, with the whole interior gutted.
It's an old school turbo on a mediocre fragile engine with marginal power
potential, from what I've picked up.
