Yep. Looks very familiar. We’ve run at 120+ for many hours in the north cascades on rt20 with all other types of sports cars. Did Mazda raceway and rt1 in this car too. Lots of good times. Monterey, Carmel, etc. then drove it across the country to PA. Yellowstone, mt Rushmore, etc.
Yeah buddy!
mine as pictures has 192,000 miles, I took the pics today. I've replaced a water pump in 20 yrs of ownership
It's a piece of unreliable junk(LOL) compared to my 2017 twin turbo Expedition. It has 191,200 miles and the only thing that ever broke was the center console spring hinge....it's a cast spring of all things! I bought a used one for 35 bucks on fleabay.
The only thing was that you couldn't really mod the R171's engine much, so I did the huge ASP crank pully and rechipped the ECU to maximize the added boost. It gave around 30bhp but mostly, it's been a joy to own....110mph on Rt 81 for 300 miles and still feel fresh when you get out, not like you've been in a fight!
Good times, thanks for posting Mags!
