I went to San Diego on business recently and after having one too many cocktails wondered into a high end dealership and could not walk away from this car, it was calling "Yasin..take me home...take me home"...so that's what I did...LOL:
I shelled out some decent $$ for it, but its an ultra clean (not a door ding on it) 2 owner car with just a hair over 56,000miles on the clock, always lived in a garage under a cover. Bone stock and never been messed with - which was appealing. Its an '89 model (last model for this body style), so has the hydraulic 5speed and ultra rare G50/50 LSD transaxle, previous models were the notchy 4 speed cable linkage!!
After owning it for 1 week, I have already bought a larger turbo (the biggest one I can run with the Bosch CIS), stainless steel racing headers with a 3" stainless exhaust and a 46mm TiAL wastegate set at 14.5psi. That should take me to around 410hp. Will have the install complete next weekend.
I always wanted one of these 911 Turbos since a snot nosed kid living in England in the '70 and early '80s feels weird to see it in my garage after so many years of yearning for one.
To buy this car I had to sell my beloved '85 Turbo AE86 Corolla GT-S, which was a painful 3year build. In its last iteration this Corolla laid down 286hp on the dyno all from 1.6L. I was able to sell my Corolla for just under $20G incl. the spare parts, here is the car a day before it went away..I'll miss it, not many people could hang with me on the street in this 2180lb car and I have taken down some big game with this car.
Yes that is a full carbon fiber front end custom made for me, big Wilwoods, Corbeau seats, full Autometer gauges, T3T4 turbo, custom made IC, 4 throttle bodies etc etc:
Thought I would share!
