Turbo II....

[Brett]

Just picked up my new Turbo II.  H reg, 86k on the clock, unfinished project.  It sat for 4 years at a workshop down the road from me, just brought it (with rebuilt engine and blow engine thrown in) for the paltry sum of £1000.  

 I reckon its going to need around a month of my spare time to get it on the road again.

 Oh yeah, and its got no lethal rust on it...... :cool

Post sum pic\'s later.

You lucky sod! That sounds like a top find. cant wait to see the photos. So what is happening to the other turbo II that you have?

[Brett]

You\'re thinking of my Egi.  The old warhorse will be up for sale once the TII is Taxed and tested.

 The Egi has quite literally a shed full of spares (including another 6 wheels, one worn engine, lots of body work, and loads more...)
 that will either go with it, or I will start to sell seperately.

 Trouble is, I dont know what the Egi is worth really.  There cant be many around that go like mine does

Bretts Egi

Will be sorry to see her go, but the TII was just too good an oportunity to pass up.

Looks like it will clean up nicely. I see in your signiture that you are in sussex now? I thought you lived on an island?:confused:
 Cant access the pics of you egi as am not a member. (i feel the shame. hopefully soon though:D )

Yeah I spent 7 months on fraggle rock (or Guernsey as its know ot the tourist board  ), but after losing my job and splitting with the g/friend I came back hone to good ol\' england.  Been back about 2 weeks now.

 I will attatch a picture and specs here just for you!


1988 2nd Gen, Naturally aspirated, never thrashed....

Spec:-

130,000 miles on the clock.
Rebuilt engine (From my old rx) with around 10,000 miles on the clock.
Ported housings
K&N induction kit
Straight through exhaust with tubular manifold
Uprated oil injection
AFR Modified to increase fueling throughout the rev range (and poison pedestrains at idle)
Air pump and hydrostatic fan removed.
Electric fan conversion.
Slotted discs and Greenstuff V4 fast road pads. (reconditioned calipers front and rear)
Standard wheels with decent(ish) rubber. (Bridgetone re88 fronts, BFGoodrich rear)

Future plans:-

Full rub down and respray.
Better wheels (Got 8 standard wheels! want some grip though..)
New ECU and a full on rr and rd mapping session
Strut brace (front)
Uprated shocks and springs
Poly bushes all around.

Best 0-60 so far is 5.9, but I can usually get a consistant 6.3-6.5
Which aint bad for an ol\' car.

*update*

A new custom airvalve has been installed to control emissions at idle. The car wil now go through an MOT without a bribe! (And thats with a straight through system folks!)

[Brett]

and yes, you should feel a deep burning sense of shame and guilt!

looks neat matey - just needs a bit of a clean

and it looks like it has the front splitter thingy on aswell - there are rarer than hens teeth !!

[Brett]

It will probably end up needing a full respray I suspect.  I\'ll see if the T-cut brings any of the paint work back up. (Laquer is coming off in loads of places.

Has a nice set of leather recaros too

 Interior is reddy brown leather, is that a standard option?  Never seen one with that colour leather.  The recaros match the leather btw.

Anybody got a BOV they want to sell me?

OY - im on the hunt for one of them

[Brett]

True, but I\'m prepared to spend more than £50!

[Brett]

In fact, just to wind you up even more Stu, I\'ve found a BOV for £60, and its literally 10mins away from me :wave


 Is having a BOV actually going to gain me anything other than Chav points though? :confused:

[grinder]

2nd hand, from a garage in Southwater.  Dont know if £60 is a good deal or not though? :confused:
