Junkyard mods for 1.6 SOHC?
My friend has a 1.6 SOHC MX-3 and he was wondering what upgrade parts from other cars he can use. I heard that escort GT throttle bodies will work, so we're gonna slap one of those on there, but is there anything else that i should look for at a junkyard?
what kind of car IS that?
