whats a Turbo V?
im hoping to get my freind cody to comeand have himdrive insteadof havemy dad come. codys not as restrictive on who he drives. plus it will be fun to watch him slam on the brakes. (he drives a 1969 C10 chevy pickup with a 350 swap, no power brakes,no poersteering, a 3 spd manua, oh and his steering wheel is smaller than my RX-7s

im not sure all i know is is was Bought over in sweden when my parents where visiting there and than they had is shipped over. so is the euro market version. blue with the 5 spoke Aluminum wheels (Euro Market Turbo Intercooler only Option) and when the turbo hit is hit big.
im thinking about trying to get it back up and going as more of a dayly driver and also act as a taxi for my freinds to school in the morning. for a fee of course

we got toby's new FC running today!! its a charcoal primered 87 GXL with LSD... he found it sitting in a junkyard a few weeks ago
All it needed to get it started was a gas tank flush and a new fuel pump. it started right up, then we found out the trailing coil was broken and it needs a new alternator, and the brakes dont work, as well as teh clutch, lol but i htink its still a decent find
it smoked like a bitch, clouded the neighbor hood behind our house with smoke, lol hopefully it was just the ATF burning off. tomorrow we're going to try to figure out why the brakes wont bleed, maybe a bad master cylinder?
i love resurrecting junk FC's!! haha

but the 740 turbo and the 240 diesel are two completely different beasts. in a 240 diesel it takes about 2 hours to get to 60!
