were '88s sd or maf?

ctgreddy · 07-02-2009, 08:40 PM

my buddies lookin at gettin an 88 lx(and he's a camaro guy so maybe i finally brought him to the good side lol) and he's gonna have about 1-1500 to play with after he gets it. assuming it doesn't need much he either wants to do a t5 swap or a gt40 based h/c/i. however if its sd he'd be better off switching to maf before he does the h/c/i won't he? or can those computers adjust for it?

this is in michigan so i highly doubt it lol. to switch to maf you need the maf, wiring, and computer correct?

you can find complete kits on ebay for 300. And it is really easy. I have one in my car, 100% recommend it

If I were him, I'd try to find a 89-93 with a t5 in it already. That would most likely save him money and give him more mod money.

+1, why look for a car that isnt what you want right off the bat

i told him that too. but he's getting the car from a family friend, it runs and drives, decent body but has some rust, and he's gettin it for $650. there's no other fox's around here anywhere close to that price. everyone wants like 2500 or more for them, must think they're rare or something?

$2500 is a fair price for a half decent fox. While they are not rare, good luck finding a rust free one that the past 10 owners have not hacked up.
