These are really growing on me, there's some serious pimping possibilities with these cars.

Nice :agree:

Lol yeah, it used to belong to a guy called Adey aka Ewok on here. How come the turbo is smoking then?

The owner after Adey who only had it a few weeks had to give back the original turbo that the car came with and the one he put on in its place started smoking more or less immediately. He stated that in his RTOC advert. :agree:

caps - 150 and you get the wheels free :)

yea i know the turbo was smopking before i picked it up, t25s are pretty cheap anyhoo so its next on the list to buy aswell as a dv as its currently compression surging which i dont think is helping the turbo at all!

99% of the cars on here don't use a DV mate, the surge you get when lifting off won't do it harm mate no need for a DV. ;)

Nice car by the way, had abit of work done to it. :agree:

why not have it rebuild if it performs how you want it too.. id rather rebuild than buy one blind of its real condition, i wiggle the wheel and pull it about like everyone else but rest my hard earned cash on how it wiggles.. :crap:

try find a member on here thats bought new, had a rebuild or is breaking car.. id avoid ebay etc..:)

shame its for sale, i know so many people that follow this same route.. buy a old retro turbo car, first sign of trouble sell it.

i dont know never even gave it a chance.:confused: whats to say that if you get a rear wheel drive car it mite give you a lot more trouble than just a blown turbo mate. ie a diff could always go. and it would cost alot more to repair. :sad2:
