I think I found it...

Agreed, not a good car at all to start with. If the tranny is that messed up and the head gasket is screwed you can bet the engine and everything attached to it is nearly shot as well. Basically you've got a shell for 500 and then you have to source another car for the remaining parts. Sounds like a lot of hassle.

how was the engine?
-
According to what I'm reading, the DOHC you're talking about was the 3.0L V6 OHV 12V FI Engine. The other engine was a 2.2L I4 SOHC 12V FI Engine in both N/A and turbo form. There were no major driveline changes until 93.

matt fauls was an fe3 which is a 2.0l 16v DOHC engine that is found in euro and japanese spec mx6, 626, and capplea cars
eric schafer has the sohc 2.2 12v engine which is stock in 90-92gt's
and mx6 and probes are going to be identical for the 1st and second gens which is the 89-97's -

I did buy the probe. I haven't read any of these comments before buying it. I talked to Brandon Vanyo with the MX6 and he drove it. We decided that the car itself was worth what I payed. I ended up paying 450 for it. I think ive figured out the ignition problem. If it is WAY to expensive to pay 450 dollars for that car, I guess i'm an idiot. I believe the tranny can be found around here for less than 300 dollars. From what I'm told, Highway 75 has about 10 1st gen probes with various problems. I Figure I buy a 2.2 manual N/a and get the new tranny and varios body pieces. As for the work, All of Brandon's MX-6 work has been done by himself and his friend Brian in Bria'ns shop out in Chafee. There, they have tools to do tranny/Engine swaps and yes Jim, I can put in a clutch myself! It holds boost and all the gauges seem to work. Brakes aren't horrible but definitly need new pads all around. A new clutch will be 200-250 depending on what kind I buy. I hope to pull the radiator out of the extra I buy. So to get it back to stock, depending on the price of a car, will be around 700-800 dollars. Like I said before, this will be a track car, not a street car. I could give a shit less about the body. It will be stored and worked on all winter. I hope to have a well running-high thirteen second car by the time it is all said and done. Nick, I was kidding on the phone, 12 seconds? maybe with RAIDER behind me, pushing me with the procharged beast! I'm asking for a BOV and a clutch for christmas. Gotta love the parents! Any comments are welcome but keep the bashing to a minimal.

yeah, lets start a betting pool saying you dont hit 12's for first track day.
