CIA- Oh crap is that the cops LOL

Setup like a regular 3.8... hell yah, but its got the turbo on it so its much faster

Setup like what? 3 cylinders on each side and makes the car go forward?

Damn my jokes are lame.. whats wrong with your car?
Oh and welcome aboard.

Woo HOO!!! Another Michigan person with a TR.

Congrats on the purchase. There are a few of us within an hour of you (some in Lansing) if you need some hands-on help with the car.
