What do you guys think? Has anyone had to replace thiers? Btw the bores on the two master cylinders are slightly different, the turbo one has a larger bore. thanks in advance,

NA Master Cylinder

Our brakes are comparable to the GXL model, not the Turbo. Turbo's use a different booster and MC setup, to the best of my knowledge.

I've got a red GTUs parked in my garage in Lilburn GA. It's been in there for the last 5 or 6 years.

It's an 89 by the way, although my company once stumbled upon a red 90 with no badges on it and sold it to a friend when we figured it out, rather than part it out.

I have a red 89 GTUs. I bought the car 12 years ago from a guy that had put a 1987 engine in it. It never ran well with that wrong engine so I bought a donor 89 GTU for the engine and parts. I’m almost ready to rebuild the new engine (hopefully next week) and drop it in. After I get my new engine in and running it will get a new paint job too. The interior is perfect! And the body has 64,000 miles on it. So when I’m finished I will have a near perfect 89 GTUs. I also have ground affects/body kit for the rear and both side but don’t have one for the front of the car. I’m kind of wondering if I should put the body kit on such a rare car. I’ll post pictures soon.

most body kits in my opinion look tacky. if you do anything do a front lip with stock bumber and TII side skirts. just my .02

I’m almost certain the TII sides are what I’ve got, along with the rear bummer. For the front of the car, it’s all up for debate since I’ve not got that yet.

Also, just doing a little searching on the net for GTUs information and I’m finding none! This one thread has more info than anything else I’ve seen!

OMG so much failure.... I cannot believe how many *** hats posted GTU models in this thread....Dear god....

If your car is not:

a 1989-1990
sunroofless
manual windows
16" factory mesh wheels
4.30 rear
GTUs decal on the fender

Then you dont have a FARGEN GTUs........... So annoying.

Please keep future posts on-topic. This is not an "ask for help" thread. Thread also pruned for non-GTUs posts.
