Hi Guys,

Just thought I would introduce myself and my car. She was a real bargain, only $3000! Just gave her a wash, put a CD player in it and regassed the air con and I was ready to roll! It's a 1992 GT-TL, complete with leaky AC LCD.

I would also like to thank all you guys for contributing and providing help in this forum, seeing all the help out there actually swayed me to buy the car!

Thanks guys. It has 146k on the clock, has had steel wheeled stock bodied turbos (much more laggy, I'm told) done at 120k along with the water pump and the timing belt. Everything else is stock. Bought it from my fathers work friend before he listed it in any classifieds. He wanted $3500ono on it and I offered him $3000, he took it!

Just be careful boosting those turbos if they are the "DD" ebay turbos they don't last long running any more than about 13psi.

Yep all REVS checked. The paint isn't the best, a bit of polish went a long way though. They aren't ebay turbos (I hope!), they were changed over to steel wheels using original housings from the car.

By the way, that turbo looks really stuffed.

It was brand new and on the car for just 10,000k's and boosted to 18psi to produce 300hp... only lasted two laps at wakefield...

Thanks guys.

Jeff, that squealing sound must have haunted you for while...

I'm surprised no one noticed or commented on my other toy in the background. True soarer fanatics you are!

3k, thats very cheap.

Probably a clueless seller as it should be worth a bit more than that.

Your gain then! Hope it doesn't have any money owning on it though? Did you check?
