1320Turbo

that might make some sense, and i guess these cars are balanced well, went on youtube and the first 2 video's are of a drifting 505, that might be fun but anyhow say the head is cracked, how many people on these forums are in the states and would be able to supply a head for me or parts to fix it. coolant system stuff like is said to be wrong is a simple thing since I can get generic hoses and whatnot and just bend em how I need them. how many miles do the motor generaly go before just poo pooing also car has exhasut ( i believe ), intake and a boost controller already as well as whatever the bosch thinggers are in the front, never seen em before.

good points, I'm noticing these cars are popular in SCCA. but anyhow.... WHAT am i getting into? Car has been sitting, is it going to cost THAT much to repair, i already understand parts are hard to come by although junkyards are beautiful. What are the production numbers on these anyway and whats the stock boost PSI. oh and yes I would intend on a FMIC, the TMIC is a retarded idea IMO. If not I'd slap on a pair of stock side mounts from a 3000GT VR4 which I can pick off of 3si for dirt cheap since everyone puts on FMIC's Matt

all in all say the head was damaged, how much would it cost to have it replaced? are these sohc or dohc motors and where would I look to parts. I understand with any car with any project you always put more into it (stealth/3000gt has about 7,000 into it when its worth about 4) and these cars are KBB'd at about $1300. I'm sure due to rarity selling it for $3000 in good shape is no issue. Anywho back to the heads, how beefy are the heads....erm....head and block? how much boost will it hold? he's got a boost controller so the PSI are turned up a bit but say I turn it up 5 psi, what power numbers would I be expecting? Looking to turn it into a little bit of a daily driver drag car. No info on the exuast, i assume it was stock, looks like a full 3 inch all the way back though. and as far as pics, he lives about an hour away and I only had my cell on me and could be outside checking it out for about 10 minutes because we had to go eat dinner. and ONE last question...Do they make front lips for these cars. Would look tuff as nails with one

Ok so I'm 17, and before anyone jumps on my case because I know these cars are somewhat "exotic" in their own fashion but I have great respect for european designed cars. Right now I own a 1993 Stealth ES that has been fully converted to a 3000GT, did all the work myself as well as a motor transplant and redid the entire interior, so i'm no 17 year old rice rocket lover, granted my car is japanese I know what it is and isnt. Ok so the advice i need....My uncle offered me a free 505 turbo sedan. He last drove it doing 135 down route 84 and blew a radiator line or the radiator failed, not sure what it was but overall the motor overheated. He drove it home after letting it cool down on the side of the road and its been parked for some time in his yard. Started it several times after so it did run as of about 2 years ago or whenever it was. Seems as a simple fix to get it going, I know how cars that sit need alot of tlc but i'm willing to give it the elbow grease, my stealth sat in a garage for 3 years before I got it. Body is rust free, motor seems to be clean for sitting for as long as it has and the interior is in great shape minus needing a serious dusting and some tlc, front seats have some rips but I intend on replacing them with some seats from a stealth (omg mad comfortable). Comes with 2 sets of factory rims, tires are bad though, no problem really. It has some little mods, like an aftermarket intake and a boost controller. My uncle has several cars, 13 to be exact including a 700hp 63 corvette, got to ride in the new drag 65 nova which left a ton of rubber down just driving it around town but anyhow the question is....i'm willing to give it the effort but is this a car that is going to be worth it for me to fix? how well does it handle? how much power will I feel? How reliable are these cars, it has 138,000 miles? Are there things to look for specificaly that go bad? Before I start dumping time into research and figuring out what and where to get parts should I embark on this? dont know what year - more pics can be viewed at my myspace- www.myspace.com/stefansracing -Matt
