Merkurs Forever

1988 Merkur XR4ti manual
1985 Merkur XR4ti manual

My namesake and hobby, the Merkur XR4ti. If any of you know what a Merkur is, I'm impressed. I've owned the 85 since I was 17 and explained its odd history to more people than I could ever count. The 88 is my current daily driver as racing has taken it toll on the 85 and I can't work on it while I'm away at school. The only mod on the 88 is a 3" exhaust from the turbo back giving the car that great sound only a turbo can make. Lower the windows and listen to the turbo spool and waste gate open.

5.0 conversion in a RX7, interesting. That's a popular option for XRs too. Great small, light motor.

Automatic transmissions suck,

Hey XR4,

How hard of a time do you have finding parts for your Merkur? I was considering getting one but was worried about availability of parts.

PS: I obviously know what a Merkur is so gimme my prize!

[XR4]

look under some rocks

Finding parts hasn't always been easy. At the local ford dealer they can get maybe one forth of the parts I ask for, Ford has obsoleted most of them. Most engine parts are still available, except for the cylinder head, because that block was used in several cars. Find a good local imported auto parts store. I use S+G in Detroit and they surprise me with what they can get and the prices are decent too. There are a few mail order companies importing parts from europe or making/modifying there own parts. For a car with so little resale value, parts can be expensive. I've never been unable to fix the car due to lack of parts, but I have had to ask around. To own this car, its worth it. www.mmon.org has all the important links.

I've got an aunt in Toronto and I'm always surprised with the number of Merkurs I see there (wow!, two in one week!.) Perhaps they were more popular with canadians.


hmmm... prize....
