The 87 TII

Needs some work here and there, but all in all a good fun car.

Good question. One of those that looks green/blue/black depending on the light/angle. Pretty nifty, too bad it's got a lot of body imperfections that will need to be resolved later down the road.

I really dislike the seats. They only hit one position, and that's WAY back. I gotta lean on the side in order to stay up to where I can reach the wheel/see. I gotta take the seat out anyway and try to fix it so I can adjust the distance from wheel...as that doesn't work. I wish I had some stock seats to use.

Thanks, I'm finding more and more problems by the day. The driver side wheel is way too low, so when I go over bumps/turn too hard, it hits the body. Also coolant coming from what seems to be the turbo somehow. Hmm, I wish I could find a DIY on removing/rebuilding turbo.

*edit to above post* I think I've figured out what is wrong with this tire. It is 5 bigger than the others. They are 45R17 while this ONE is 50R17. Makes me worried how he cut a corner on ONE tire to cause this issue...what else did he cut on?

I hate not being able to edit posts..

But I found the reason for the tire problem, I think. The one tire that's scrapping on the quarter panel is a 50r17, while the others are 45r17....

DUN DUN DUUUUUNN!

I was bored one day...not awesome, as I have problems getting into second gear at higher RPMs, but you get the idea.

PS I love having a BOV.
