Its about time to put my car in this section...
In short... I'm Jure Bocina, 25, from Croatia (doesn't matter if you don't know where that is ) proud owner of 1990 GTturbo since I was 18. So, that would be about 7 years now. Many of my mates ask why I picked light crapy french can when I could go for VW GTI or Opel Kadett GSI and I cannot say why. Maybe I was stupid, maybe I wanted to be different but now it is simply obsession. Love maybe
I bought it completely standard with fecked 2 gear. Do not have pic with Speedlines but this is how it looked standard apart 15" OZ Crono Evolution:
I solved all problem with gearbox and everything was flawless for about 1.5 when I started messing with boost. And what happened... Two blown headgakets and knackered crankshaft. After that problems I discovered RTOC and became member. Membership in the club helped me a lot in daily maintenance as well as tuning.
Here are the few pics of first rebuilt which didn't last long due to crapy head and block works as well as porely fitted liners:
Before the rebuil (engine lasted 2k miles) I went for complete respray in original Tungy grey but it turned out too greenish for my taste. Still, good work in all.
When finally engine fell apart I decided to go for second rebuilt but this time on my own (with knowledge gained from you people ) and little help of my mates. THis time I went for "bullet proof" parts and can tell you that everything work like a dream on 24 psi @ manifold. Few pic of new respray (Alfa Titanium Grey) and complete restauration of engine, suspension, steering...
I wont post more pics since lot of them are in my personal album. I had some problems with T25 and replaced it with GT2554r which is sweet choice for my setup:
ATM car is like this but Ronals are on it way. Hood scoop is going down as well as roof spoiler. Workin on MS EFI project which is about at 50% of work and parts done.
Any suggestions and critics are welcome. Cheers
