[Jarred]

air con?! gah, just sweat like a man!!

7,700 is a bit steep, but providing it's got no rust, it's basically good to go, which is handy; and I'm sure I'd be quick too!

Its got TSR sticker on it so thats why i thought it was from the UK...

WOuldnt mind it, looks good......

Matt, what would you say that car is worth then?

[limmy]

can someone tell me what sort of power the 16v mk2 engine kicks out? my brother used to have a tricked up hyper blue mk1, and think it had a mk2 engine?

everything under the bonnet was colour-coded red, sway bars, removable race steering wheel (mr bean style), electric windows, flared guards, immaculate interior, konis, 3" exhaust...and most importantly...it flew. i was only 17 when i drove it...and i still remember the adrenalin rush. nothing compares to that moment.

he ended up selling it...i had no chance buying it. loving brother was too concerned i would kill myself in the car or something!

KR 16v was rated at 139BHP or just over 103kW at the engine

By the way, the car is worth whatever you're willing to pay for it - it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks! If you're happy to pay a certain price, and it's in decent nick, then what more do you need to know

I can't be sure what it will put out yet, but judging by the many similar setups in the US and Germany, it should have around 250kW/335HP on about 1 bar of boost. I should know for sure by the end of the week

OT

You'll definately have to keep us informed Stu. I'd be predicting a little bit more than that, even with that boost pressure.
My old turbo (GT25/40R) went 344hp on 15psi on a 1.8L CA18 nissan. Your T3/4 should easily make that.

ROCKET SHIP!!!

valver - how'd you go? any confirmation on the estimated 335hp?

That used to be my car. I bought it for $13,000 back in about 1996 and then had an airconditioner put in that had been imported from Japan. It was built in Sydney. The guy that I bought it off told me it cost him over $20,000 to build.

As for the silver one in question. I am sure that I have seen that car years ago. It was pretty good at the time and the 16V should have made it a bit quicker than mine.

A guy down the Gold coast built a silver Mk1 around the same time as I had the blue one. I had put a mild cam in mine and it had the supersprint extractors and full exhaust. We had a 'test run' from a set of lights. We were level until I had to change into second. He had about another 1000rpm before he changed so he got about a car length in front. I held that gap until I had to change to third when once again he had more revs to play with and he gapped me a bit further again.

Mine had fairly low gearing too, I am pretty sure that the gearbox was about the lowest close ratio box available. It would hit the rev limiter in fifth.
