    Default Manley's Turbo'd LX

    It was not a pampered car, had 160K on the origional 5.slow motor.
    Built to be a brut on the track cause I sux at the clutch launch during bracket racing events at our local track!
    Why I went turbo.............. just to be different, no one else races a turbo its either BB N/A, NOS or a supercharger.
    I'll start at the begining.

    The car as I bought it for 3K before slicing and dicing.

    Just wanted to show everyone the extent of the build. didn't want to make afair amount of power and run it through the stock suspension system or tranny like alot of (local mustang) people seem to do. Then complain when the stuff breaks.
