    Turbo & Turbo2 differences?

    Ok, i may get some stick for this, but, someone humour me, please.

    What exactly are the visual, external differences between these two cars?? Are there any obvious ones?

    no physical difference, besides the colours on the exterior.

    the seats, carpets, dash, steering wheel are all different, as is the wiring.

    the main difference is the aluminium roof, tailgate and doors on the turbo 1. but once again...no visual difference.

    would that make the turbo1 the lighter of the 2.?

    why was it just the t1 that got the alloy parts and not the t2.?

    also, does anyone have any detailed pics that compare the int/ext of both cars..?

    you could spend years creating the most hideous interior imaginable but it wouldn't be as foul as that.

    imagine being picked up after you've had a skin full and a night out, you'd blow chunks, no question.

    scoff, not only did they do inverse red/blue seats/carpet. they also did beige/black and i think i saw a green/something once!
    all hideous. - but rare and very expensive to buy 2nd hand now!!! the front seats alone are good for £500
    good job the turbo 2 has the lowly beige interior from the gordini turbo

    Don't give up just yet dude, about a year ago I measured a RB26 out of skyline GTR and it could physically fit in an R5GTT engine bay, trouble is you couldn't fit anythin to it, like the turbo, the manifolds, altinator, water pump, gearbox or anythin at all
