1990 turbo build street/strip Norcal
Just picked up this 90 fc turbo for a project ...went to sevenstock n got rotary fever again
1990 s5 140k. Looks like a reman was put in at some point..car was sitting for a while so the fun begins. It did make the 90 mile trip home over donner pass (8k ft). Felt a lil down on power hopefully the cats are clogged. Over all it ran realy well but has some oil leaks i need to track down.
Mods so far...
Elec. fan
Crappy dual exhaust
Cone filter
ST purple springs
Ebc yellow pads
The guy who saved it from a field started some work it got new fuel filter/lines/inj cleaned and put on a new TID from mazda.
It's not nice enough to be a show car (salvage title) so its gonna be a cheaper drag car /back road carver.
Future mods to get it on the track runnin low 13's high 12's
Rebuild motor /turbo
Rtek
720cc sec.
Downpipe with cutout
Weld some borlas on so i can get rid of ricer style exhaust
Fmic
Install my old cobras n slicks and strip it out some weight and go have some fun
Some pics
When I got it all dirty dog
Quick wash

Yea the dash is perfect all vents are un cracked the seats dont have a rip either.... Not to shabby it must have been stored indoors
No grand plans would like to be running low13's n 12's for under $5k total investment including the cost of the car. So i got around $3k to play with for mods n such
