Hey there,

Thought i should post some pics of my rides before i do them any more damage. The first is my GSRIII with LSD, factory intercooled bla bla bla in pretty mint condition except for the front right corner where Stevie Wonder driving a celica plowed into me. Will be fixed as soon as I'm back in NZ and will have the aerotech front bumper and airdam whacked on. Could also do with a good respray.

Then whilst i'm in Ireland I've just purchased a bloody STOCK 1988 2 litre widebody thats done 77000 miles. No rust, LSD, the works. interior is stocker and i will even have the original radio back in if i decide i want it.
Plans for a reunion for the two of them in a couple of years.
Hope ya like!

Are you sure? I've never seen a widebody wearing the old style bumper like that before. I have an 88 Euro spec and it has the late model bumper.

I thought that aswell but I didn't think they would have any pre 85 stuff over there? Unless the euro market got flatties aswell.

I stand corrected. The bumper is prob off a narrowbody. Don't know why it was changed. I never even thought about it because its the same as my narrowbody. All shut lines etc are true so hopefully it wasn't replaced due to a crash :glare:
JBEvo the back splitter is an aerotech item from NZ. same with the skirts. cost about 400 bucks i think. They are both totally different beasts, Quick spool up and peaky booost in the NB - the widey boost doesn't kick until about 3500rpm and then is solid right up to 6000rpm at least. :twisted: The widey needs mods to breathe better so thats first on the list. And the bloody power steering. :x
