My new whip
Well, the deal's done and it's in my garage. Now to figure out a whole new car because I'll be tearing into this one to find some horsepower. And yep, it's a turbo.....  |

Re: My new whip
Ha, pics are deceiving. It needs a lot of work including a full paint job. It's been repainted so a lot of it is shiny, but they painted around the emblems and such instead of taking them off, so it's getting a full repaint. I might even change the color to something darker, not sure yet.

Very nice, I will have to check this out sometime. So is the hp going to topple the 2.4/3575 setup?

Re: My new whip
Nice purchase Steve. 1987?, 1988 CE? Type 910 correct? Also do tell what these have been going for lately as I've always been interested in them. I prefer the 1993+ design but beggers can't be choosers.

Re: My new whip
Nice pick up Steve, Congrats. I've always wanted to drop a 4g63 into one of those. I'd like to check it out some time.
BTW, was this on Ebay recently? I think I was looking at it on there recently :P.
