(http://us.a2.yahoofs.com/users/43bf9560z3dad442/52ad/__sr_/1dd6.jpg?phYK5dEBC.cagBSx)
I bought this car at an auction in portland oregon when i was 13 for $279.00 and was a champain pink! HAHA till it was parked under the tree in my dads yard for over a year and pitches the hell out of the paint so i primed it back. If you have any advice pleaase dont be scared to say what is on your mind.
My further plans.
Shave door handels
Put 87 Turbo coupe motor and hood with custom twin turbo and inner cooler
Paint Black with camillion bodyline stripe (painted)
Diskbrake all the way around
Air Ride
Sway bars upper and lower
tint windows
:D
And much more needless to say it will be in many car shows when done and will be done professionaly
What do you guys think ?
Just curious, how old are you now? Where abouts in Portland? First "local" I've seen on here ;)

welcome to the site man, believe me..... noone here is afraid to speak their minds...
but serious how old are you? im the running champ for 2 years being the youngest here... ;-)
you learn alot here believe, me i did
Twin turbos on a 2.3L?? no

And Welcome
I am 21 years old lol wow i got alot of response from my posting ! And yes Actualy Beaverton but if you say that most people dont know what to think. And yes i am putting twin turbo on a turbo coupe v8 motor hahahaha think what you want
Seek- Do you know anywhere around town that i can find a lower body kit for this?
as far as anyone knows on this site there are NO more body kits made for these cars... but you do see an occasional body kit floating around on ebay or the likes... made by GST and i think there is another kit but im not 100% sure... do you have any views fromt eh frotn and maybe angled... it seems like your wheels stick out a lil bit and i wanted to see how it looks :-D BTW im from roseburg oregon and i have an 84 so i may have parts depending on what you need. i will be parting out the interior. also there wasnt any turbo coupe v8's the turbocoupes were all turbo 2.3's but ive seen alot of turbo coupes with a v8 in them for some reason lol.
Well thanks for the info ! and yes they do stick out about 2 1/2" but looks sick as hell ! you dont even know they are American raceing 5 star deep dish rims on 50 series tires and i wouldnt trade the look for anything if you ever have a chance to get some buy them you wont regret it !
I am looking for the pic that i have of it from the side once i find it i will post it

Turbo Coupes were 2.3 litre 4 cylinder motors
I have posted the other pic on my profile of a side view
While i appreciate your desire to be unique with your car, you do need to do a lot more learning before you really do tear into the car. Turbo Coupes never came with V8's. There is only front and rear swaybars, which your car should only have a front on it.
Stick around for a while, do a lot of reading, and youll start figuring things out.
Check out http://www.coolcats.net, and go through their tech section over there, and the stock/mod section, there is a lot of great information that would help you in learning.
i do love the wheel/tire set up. i am wanting to tuck the fronts of mine in but have the rear's stick out a lil bit.... nice ride tho b-) i can see it turnin out great.
Someone has alot more research and learning to do....
