My new 1990 GTUs

1990 GTUs. I scored phat. all said and done, $1400. Its got 140k on the clock, ground control coilovers with tokico struts, a header and a really crappy stereo. The interior is 95% intact too. Just a bunch of little dings and dents though. Nothing I cant handle.





The RAZO stickers have been removed and the wheels are getting sold.


I'm most probably going to restore it back to factory condition inside and out except for an aftermarket stereo. a good one...and i'll leave the suspension and exhaust on it.

I think so. I'm still trying to get used to the funky gearing. It's a LOT different than what i'm used to with my old GTU and my TII....

Is it that different? Is it the GTUs that has a 4.3 ring and pinion? Or is it the transmission gearing?
