How's AR been treating you? I think I saw them post about it on their FB a while back.

I hope it's been dyno'd already, but I'll assume not because you haven't posted. Make sure they don't give the car any throttle in any gear other than 4th on the dyno! :lol:
 
AR was stupid, I did not enjoy my experience with them. Car is back in storage until Ben makes his tremec adapter plates. Waiting almost 2 years now. Holset is on. Had to buy a bigger boost gauge, was pegged at 20psi, then 30, now with this 45psi gauge I can see that the turbo is making 38psi at 5k. AFR are nice and safe with the 675 injectors. Accelerates too fast to tune on the street, so want to get the rest of my parts for the tkx trmec swap before taking it back to p.s.i. to see how much it's actually making. Might buy some more cooling upgrades in the meantime too. DO88 makes a nice radiator and intercooler.

I took the jag wheels off because they were super heavy. I have Bridgestone RE71r 205/55R15 tires on the Virgo right now.

I got a set of Ferrari 355 speed line magnesium wheels to go on it eventually. I think they will fit much better. The 245s are too wide in the front for this little car. The ferrari takes 225 front and 285 rear.

Coolant temp gauge seems really low even after a new sender, maybe at 30% when warm?

Working on finishing up my 86 yugo project while I wait for BNE to make the adapter. Have a bigger carb, euro billet rally cam and 2" header back exhaust. Other guys say the combo should be good for about 90hp lol. Up from 50 originally.
 
2 years later I am working on this car again. Got the Yugo all sorted for about $15k, sold for $4500 to a kid in texas. I drove the 244T once to a local meet, once to try and get to a weight scale, but it broke down and melted 3 spark plug wires, so limped it back home on one cylinder. Then tried to do some 35psi pulls to get data logs, but the head gasket that ARD installed many years ago popped. It also puked out all it's coolant and 2 freeze plugs at the same time.

I never did get a TKO adapter plate from Ben. waited like 5+ years and he never made them again. I sent Yoshi fab some money and he had a new one made up in only 2 years! I've got all the parts for the swap except the TKX and the driveshaft, so pretty close to that swap.

I took the F-type wheels off and sold them with the new tires to a guy from Seattle for $600, bought 205/50R15 Bridgestone Potenza RE71R tires and left the 30mm spacers on it, so I can roll it around.

I traded a nice 2015 Honda PCX scooter for a DOA rusty 1965 P1800. Going to work on cleaning it and getting nice photos. It's only got 30k miles on it and has been parked since the late 80s/early 90s. Needs a full restoration.
