    Tino's Red 93 EGT Worklog... Maybe....

    Well the MAYBE part is cuz I originally bought this car with all intentions of parting it out down to a bare shell. And that was the intention til I put it on the lift tonight. This is looking like its gonna be the DD.

    Anyway, its a 93 GT, 126k miles, needing a handful of odds and ends, but the other handful is a great running BP and a couple goodies that can go to the 91 EGT-T.






    Goodies:
    Cross Drilled rotors
    Solar wing painted red
    STUPID CLEAN black piping interior
    Smoked tails/corners (like the tails, hate the corners)
    Premium Sound
    set of 17" wheels (Im gonna sell those on CL)
    Additional BP and Trans (both spoken for)
    Magnaflow Muffler

    To my surprise I saw an undercarriage cleaner than my 91, and the 91 has ZERO rust, but this 93 doesnt even have rust on the gas tank or exhaust heatshields, and barely surface rust on the TTLS.








    Exterior is rough, but not too bad over all. Front bumper is broken, headlights are wobbly, LF Fender is smacked up, but other than that, its a pretty straight body.





    Interior is clean as well, aside from dirty carpet and red painted dash pieces.. both easy fixes.




    The BAD:
    While the engine is clean aside from VC gasket leaks, and Tstat housing leaking a bit, it does feel great, except the Injector seals on the head are shot, nasty vac leak and sputtering under load.



    The headlight switch is Fubared, only parking lights come on, so I ran direct battery power to them to get it to the shop last night.

    Its also on cut springs, WORST ride of my life (drove it back about 40 miles)


    So bottom line is::

    Fender, Bumper, Struts, Springs, fix leaks, rear trans mount, buff it out, reinstall spoiler, and its a perfect DD. We'll see where it goes.

    gee you always buying and selling lol
    but great find there and in the 2nd pic it looks like the 93 would be modded(boosted) and the 91 is a dd. Sleeper I guess haha
    Anyone knows what 9K rpm feels like? I do

      Weird... another black piping car. Someone on FEOA a year or so ago told me that the black piping interior was rare.

      My red 93 EGT also has black piping.


      PS: Want to come off that solar wing?

            Black piping and those small center cap fanblades were both 1993 exclusive.

            The ignition wires was me, trying to get the thing to stop misfiring somewhat to make the 40 mile trip to the shop, after i taped 3 wires, I fired it up and heard the vac leak

            Idk man, the tires are shot, If I come across any good tires @ the shop in the next couple weeks I'll put them on but as of right now idk maybe $250 with good tires?

            On a side note, The engine literally was that clean when I got it, I didnt touch a thing.

              Todays updates:

              Put in some new plugs (had original motorcrafts)
              set timing, removed a bunch of BS wiring that the previous owner did in an attempt to rig the headlights,
              Got the headlights working pretty well (needs switch)
              put the spoiler back on with some custom hardware, thing is solid now!

                      Escort noob question. Will Escort GT seats bolt into a 323?? (front and back)
                      Dominic Toretto rocks a MaZda and his cell phone number starts in "(323)"

                        fronts will bolt up no issues, and the rears should bolt down, just not sure if they'll lock.

                        also the lower seat cushion "lock tabs" may be different, i'm not talking about the upper cushion locks now... i believe the 323/protege uses a tab you move, and fords are a button you push...or i'm dyslexic today

                              looks great! i almost bought a super clean 91 in Calgary Alberta before X mas but didn't wanna deal with a out of province inspection.
                              Wish I could find a nice 91/92 closer to me.
                              Can't wait to see what you do to this one.
