i bought a erst 2day, d plate red un, bit manky underside but looks a nice enuff car, neways, its got a turbo technice plate on the slam panel dated '87, was wondering if it is likerly to be a turbo swap or maybe a developement car (bit late i know)

i bought the car to break for parts for my other 2 but if its sumthin special ill do the 2 bits of welding and repair the few marks and have it as a whole car again

ill get the details off the panel 2morra as the car isnt outside my house atm

 

Bloody car
well it didnt do to bad driving it back with no clutch and stuck in 3rd gear
was a cool road trip

 

Turbo Technics usually have their own name plate on the compressor housing of the turbo.

 

This one is bigger than a vin tag and is on slam panel ..

 

started it today jon, runs mint, no smoke or owt, stuck steelies on now,

gonna run it up the road with the boost turned down to sumthin sensible like 20 psi and see how she goes, clutch is toast tho, bit juddery, box seems fine tho

mite insure it for the month then break it up


heres the plate, im pretty sure any turbo fitted in '87 will be well gone but nice to know why the plate it there neways
