Need gtu and gtus help.......
I,ve got a 89 n/a s5 that has no power windows or power door locks and no cruise control or rear wiper.the hood i have is a steel hood unless the aluminum hood is heavy but as i looked on the hood it says the car is equipped with l.s.d. and the gtu or gtus sign has been painted over.is there anything in the interior like speakers or panels that can distinguish the gtu from the gtus.also its got a pop up sun roof not power.it didn,t come with the stock rims so i have no idea can anyone help me?

S5 TII rims, you should be reading 4000 rpms @ 80 mph for the special 4.3 rear end & trans gearing, no map pockets, door jam should be reading stock TII rim TIRE size, look at your rear end and if no one messed with the diff it should say something like "limited slip fluid only" on a tag on the rear end, also should have black interior and be in the colors of blaze red, noble white and brilliant black (I just typed this like 5 seconds ago)

Well he said he has a pop up sun roof, not powered.. so If its a manual sun roof, could be a custom job, or a dealer install.. which could have been done. I seen pictures of a gtus that had a dealer installed sunroof before.

take a magnet to the hood- if it sticks its a GTU, if not GTUs(Unless it's one of those pesky aluminum magnets, then it's the reverse...). Also as suggested above check the wheel size on the sticker attatched to the drivers side door. The aluminum hood is surprisingly heavy. It's far heavier than the crappy steel replacement on my miata so....

The weights are found in the Standard and Options stickly thread at the top of this 2nd gen technical section. There is even a page for the GTUs there.
And you question has been answered. What more help do you need?

they gave you all the info that can easily distinguish it from a gtu or a gtus......
-door tag..... if it states on the driver side door jamb that the car was equipped w/ 16" rims... then you have a gtus...... if it says 15" rims... gtu...... that is absolutely the easiest way to i.d a gtus........
but odds are not in your favor that it is!!
