Let's get a Tempo Forum!
Now whereas I no longer own my Tempo (sold it back in February), I know how frustrating it is to come in looking for help with a Tempo and lo and behold! There's no Tempo forum! Yet in the non-specific forum, I'm seeing lots of questions from Tempo owners, but they get all mixed up with questions for Fairlaines, Galaxies, and others that there are forums for. And I know that the help I can offer that is Tempo-specific would be easier to pass along if there was a specific Tempo forum. So Tempo owners, cast your vote now if you would like to see your very own forum and maybe we can get the moderators and administrators to do something about it!
BE HEARD!

Doc,
I agree, as a longtime Tempo/Topaz owner, there is a lot of activity from owners of these under-appreciated little cars. Not to pull traffic away from AF, but www.tempotopaz.com (home of the Tempo-Topaz Car Club of North America) is a great resource for owners & enthusiasts of these cars. Year-by-year technical info, modifications, downloads, and a forum filled with some of the best people out there! Any kind of help you need can likely be found there, an incredible knowledge base. I've been a member since '02. Good bunch of people, check it out... Oh, and my 'toy' is an '88 Tempo LX 5-speed sedan. With the help of an Eaton M45 Supercharger, front mounted I/C, and a few other goodies(MSD BTM, Kirban FMU, a header made by a club member), I hope to easily smoke my own Grand Prix GTP ([email protected]) later this summer

Re: Tempo Owners, Unite!
The one I used to have was also an 88. 2-dr Sedan, 2.3l efi turbo, 5 spd competition clutch, and I used to love taking advantage of under-estimators. So much fun to see the face of the person whose expression said it all... "Holy shit! I just got burned by a Tempo!" lmao!

So you swapped in a 2.3 OHC, or turbo'd the HSC? We have a Club member (jasonf) who's done the OHC swap, and he ran a 12.1 or so last season! Of course, the motor's modded...
As for my 'project', I'm making no appearance mods at all, so this car will be a real 'stealth bomber', whether I'm at the stop light or the 'tree. The blower & intercooler are mounted, and most of the plumbing is built. The howl of that Eaton is like a song! Best part is, this particular Eaton came off a Mercedes, so it has an electric clutch. I can kill the telltale 'whine' until the last minute, (hehe) and keep heat from building up while cruising. This little medium metallic blue 4-door should be a big shock to the 'fartcan, wing & sticker' crowd!
