Default New car, RS cabby
Bought this RS turbo cabby last week, its got a few things I need to sort and put to how I want but its a nice summer toy/ project.
its a 1990 cabriolet with 186bhp engine.
couple of things its got but I will be changing when I find replacements for are the front coilovers (I want a set of top adjustables as its just to low and to hard plus it just does not need them.
and front mount GRS intercooler with slim line fan its not high BHP so a standard option would be better for me.
here arte some pics
