my new series 1 turbo (pics)
well i sold my corsa turbo (calibra turbo engine) on this site a few weeks ago & decided to go treat myself to a new toy!
the car has been stood in a barn for nearly a year with the tax/test just ticking away on it untill i saved it a few days ago.
i havent done anything on the car yet appart from haveing the wheels balanced, fitted new actuator & gave it a quick wash over the other day.
the car is a custom model & i brought the car with a few months tax & m.o.t as it is for just £1700!!!!
is that a bargain or what???????????
even betta is when i put the car up onto a set of ramps & found that the car has never been welded underneath!! & that the floor pans have been painted white & it has had all the front/rear antirollbars, front hubs, fuel pump carrier, trailing arms & rear wishbones powder coated blue & has been fully pollybushed!
the car is very clean & has never been chipped.
it has these mods:
full stainless scorpion
samco boost hoses
samco water hoses
baily dumpvalve
k&n
crome rocker cover
crome charge carrier
boost gauge
white dials
koni top adjustable's
smoked rear lights
the car was running 3psi when i picked it up but i have since fitted a new actuator & its now running 14psi but am waiting on my chip 2 arrive as its hitting the limiter on boost now.
my plans for it are just to get it set up, lower it abit as im pretty sure they are standard springs on koni shocks, get the towing eye painted the same colour & get the drivers seat repaired as its slightly worn.
only bad points is that it doesnt have any service history & has had 11 owners (im tring to chase the old owners uo to see if they have any service history for the car).
what do u think??? (good or bad)
