here are the new rims and tires. BLING BLING!
cool!!
Nice !! What springs you got? What size tire too if you don't mind me asking...
they are G-FORCE (bfgoodrich) 245/45/17 tires all around,sitting on 17x9 cobra R replica rims, stock springs i just cut them down...
heres a interior shot
liooks like a full option car?
Sweet! Rims look great and that's the first blue leather interior I've seen other than my own. :D
Nicley loaded,no moonroof,but depending on who you are that can be a plus or minus.
Kinda off topic but anyone know if the TC's came with the optional anti theft and heated seats or were they only for the 20th coug?
im not sure about the anti-theft, but i know the heated seats wernt available
I found an '84 Turbo Coupe in the junkyard with the factory anti-theft. It was the only console I have ever seen with the factory light (between seat switches).
It was totally black in its off-state, but lit up with red letters that said ALARM when activated.
I pulled it from the car and put it in my '88 XR7.
there was an 84 Elan in a yard that had the alarm, but i dont know about the 87-88 TC's
its got a moonroof hard to see but look closely at the top of the car on first pic, you should see it
Learn something new everyday with these cars. Man, I want that part!
From the discussions on the NATO board, they don't seem to think the alarm was available on 1987-88 TC's. It was an option for all 1984-86 cars, possibly 1983 as well. And yes, the light goes on the console/consolette. If you remove your panel and look at the bottom, you'll see a cutout for a T-shaped hole...that's where the alarm light will go.
I always wondered what that was for! Wow!
How much did you cut your stock springs down? And what did you do it with? I am curiouse as to how to do it. I am going to have to use the onse I have, plus I need to pay of a speeding ticket I got so I have no extra money right now.
I'm diggin' the blue interior....
BTW..they're WHEELS..not RIMS..... ;)
I thought they were DUBS. ;)
nice looking though. I do love those blue interiors...
try using a hacksaw or a grinder, what ever you do don't use a torch or any heat for cutting down your springs. i took half a turn off the front and just under half a turn on the rear.
Tight rims!!! Where did you order them from if you dont mind my asking.
Discount Tire co. they gave me a wicked deal :D
