Pictures of my new TurboII!!

Heres some pictures of my new TurboII I just bought This outta make Node really jealous!

It has a GReddy FMIC, T04E turbo with HKS external wastegate, Profec A, FCON, rollcage and whole bunch of other stuff. Motor is still good, but needs some love. It came with a ton of wheels, including a nice set of panasports. We are currently replacing the engine harness and un-rigging a ton stuff. Ill get some better pics when its all cleaned up. Right now its all bleah.

We know from your posts w/ pics you will give it the love it needs. It looks neglected, but lots of potential. My favorite colors; damn you made ME jealous too.

Yah, its really cool. I knew it wasnt perfect when i bought it. But, it will make a great driver. Luckily, the tranny and the motor is good, so i wont be a big money pit like my CYM. But in a month or two, it should be really nice.

HEY!!!

YOU have the holes for the luggage/hatch cover in those rear speakers. You should order one from Japan as they look really good in the car

Sweet TII. It's very similar to my 92 - even the same seats. You're going to love it. Just keep the boost within reason & watch that air/fuel gague

Yah, it needs one. Didnt have one when i bought it. It dump right down on the motor mount. Real smart. Once i get the car running right ill pull the wastegate and have a tiny dp made for it.

Well, the guy i bought it off didnt really have the time or money to fix it the way it needed to be fixed. It was screwed up by the shop that put the motor and turbo in originally.

Yeah, I've always been wondering about that. How the hell did you get a 92?!?!?
