I think its not too shabby -

Check out this video and you will get my drift =
Volvo 142 Turbo

That car isnt much lighter than this one and doesnt have that much more power either - Benefits of a nice RWD tourqey setup -

And this guy is from Provo - He ownes Aardvark Cycles.


Said he MAY want to sell his coupe - NICE car - I went and looked at it today -



Check out that exhaust!! (ps - hes running 12-14 psi and about 180hp and 190 lbft)

That is a sharp looking V machine ! -B.

looks fun

Very nice!! I wasn't sure about these turbobricks and all, but I am coming around to see why you like them so much

and they make a LOT of parts for the cars becuase - heck they made them from 74-93

Example: Zimmerman X drilled Rotors are $35 front $45 rear and the car came stock with 4 piston Girling calipers on the from twin rear.
