Problems With Plastic Intakes

[Jimmyess333]

Thank everyone for all the info but after careful consideration I have decided refurbish an economy vehicle that predates plastic intakes, electric steering, fly by wire, tire pressure monitors, traction control, computer controlled windows, and computerized climate control. I have refurbished a few classic cars in my time so I am confident I can pull it off. Wish you all well.

Sounds fun, any idea what car? I've got a 1984 Ranger that meets those requirements, and then some. 4 speed manual. No AC. No power steering. Not even any power brakes. Carbureted. All emissions controls removed (not by me). It, uh, has an alternator, and that's about it.

I got the Mirage because I wanted a reliable car without having to mess with anything (for 5-10 years). The truck is the (sometimes) fun fixer upper.

I was going to mention that it sounds like you want something more like a '77 Pinto than a new Mirage...I guess you were way ahead of me. Good luck with your project!

My 1996 Ford Aspire was very comparable to the Mirage, and fits all of that list.
