1992 Mercury Tracer. 70XXX miles FTW

Really, that's what I did to my '89 T-Racer! It just died on me this weekend at over 175kmi.
Pretty reliable cars though if you treat them right.

haha, i had a 1993 two-door tempo.. auto.. 2.3L FTL!!!!!!

transmission konked out at like 95k or so.. exhaust fell off, rust everywhere, etc. haha.

The Tempo with the Taurus 3.0L V6 and the 5-speed was actually pretty quick.

That Tracer needs a 2.3L Protege engine swap.

SOCKS_old

was that tempo with the 3.0L the yamaha engine.. if so.. could be a total NA sleeper.

mwood

my pops still got a 92 two door tempo sitting in his driveway...lol

not running of course

The t-racer still runs great so i'd definitely be up for a protege swap if i had the money and time fing02.gif

No, the Yamaha engine was only in the SHO. It had the standard 3.0L, but in the lighter Tempo and with a manual tranny, it was quite the sleeper.

Well as we know the Tiburon has hit the junkers after a little oopsie on my part. So with the moneys I got back from good ol' Geico I got this piece in running order once again. Don't worry though, after about six months of sitting in a driveway all it really needed was two new tires, a resealed windshield and rear window (water creeped in whenever it condensated), blower motor, heater core, resistor plug, spark plugs, muffler, radio, speakers, rear bumper, passenger side fender, and a little bondo work on the passenger door. You know... Little stuff. This thing has to be inspected by the end of the month... HAH
