Sorry, Belteshazzar is right again. The XR DOES come with the Brown Top injector, which is 35lbs / 370cc. I guess I might have had Mustang 5.0L on the mind with 19lb units.

I sold the car in Nov '09 but got it back for free in Nov '10 with a disintegrated clutch.

I got the clutch back together, got new wheels and tires, and installed a BAT/Quaife quick shifter.

HOLY CRAP! The difference it made is amazing.

Easiest way to find your vac leaks is to pressurize the intake I use pvc.with a quick disconnect air hose fitting tapped into it and duct tape to hold it onto the intake and I can pressurize to 30psi no prob. Chances are pcv and egr will be leaking some and your throttle butterfly hinge bolt seals will be gone ours are. Fix those and a stock motor should pull 18 to 22 in of Hg...

Depending on how bad things are, I'd replace every single rubber vac line with something high-temp. I hadn't realized until I started really digging my cooling system how hard the turbo Lima is on hoses, and since it's been out of your hands a while, it may not have received the attention it needed. The PCV valve also fails often, according to anecdotal evidence.

That said, nice example. Mine's the same blue, and it's kinda neat to see one all the same color and polished up a bit; gives me a better mental picture of what mine could look like when it's done. What wheels are those?

Those pictures came out incredibly flattering. The car is in pretty poor shape cosmetically.

They are Prime 16x7. Don't know anything else beyond that.
