Fresh Recruit
hey guys
been searching hi and low for good forums and this seems the place to be regards to the GT starlets!
just picked up a black 92 GT turbo for very cheap but its very poorly
seems the car needs a lot of TLC
now i am from the north west england is there many members from around this way i know we got a fair few tuners near by so naturally there should be a fair few GT owners locally to me.
decided to name her katy! but now she has a name she needs her repairs she has a blown bottom end its a pretty serious knocking so shes getting trailered to mine soon.
i have been looking high and low for a replacement engine but they just exceed my budget i was thinking 350ish but people are asking for 550 plus 150 odd postage cos there all in ireland!!
wouldnt mind finding one local for 450ish or a cheap one far away but it just doesnt seem to go that way. I will be chucking up a wanted post shortly see what responses i get.
what would you guys suggest for poor katy
rebuild or replacement?
i wont be forging because i am not made of money and will not be pushing for serious power (Well not in my first 18 months)
180-200bhp would be a great figure for katy but i need to focus on getting her running right first i suppose.
i priced up a rebuild it came to around 700 without labour lucky i can do most at a mates garage got stand and tools ect.
been offered a n/a block for 150 locally but thats a big risk!
so yeah so i jumped into the deep end with this one but what is life without its challanges
so throw all your advise and hot tips and me lads and lasses
