Ed Ortiz in his 86 Merkur at the Yakima dragstrip . This car rolls hard. Its running a 12 flat now. Ed plans on having the car in the 10's by next year.
We have been trying to get our project car, a 1986 Merkur XR4Ti starting after some modifications (MegaSquirt, rather large intercooler and upgraded turbo). And the timing seems to be a bit off as you will see...
I decided there is a shortage on new Merk vidz! This was taken last spring '07.
I was currently driving the car daily and had boost dialed down to 10psi (to help with fuel econ.) Lokee" will be out of commission for the next few months for some major upgrades ;) Stay tuned.
A funny and lazy spin I had in my 87 Track Day Merkur a few years ago.
The car is currently for sale, if you are interested. A lot of fun and nicely sorted.
Coming around a corner, followed by a fellow SOMO member, I catch a curb nicely and get 2 wheels in the air!
The car is for sale if anyone is interested.
