less than 100 K miles
57 trim turbo
turbo timer
3" exhaust
spares from a donor 1991- block ,Head ex studs upgrade,valve seals
Lexus AFM, 550 injectors.
stock wheels/1988 (3 left 1 right) 1991 five spoke good shape.
over 12k invested!
Got it to hold oil and water. 85k miles just rebuilt, great interior,good wheels and tires,no rust.After tying up loose ends and getting in valuable advise on this site and exhusative testing ( And pressure testing every single component in the intake system) I had an epiphany and found when # 1 son melted pistons and every other component checked and double checked,That the aftermarket 3 inch cat was plugged! I fired it up after a year of sitting,After getting 200.00 ticket for excessive smoke when the turbo went out! It is beyond a doubt one of the best looking cars of the eighties. Its time for a new toy!
