My green little baby
although its missing a turbo and has a elbow welded on to it from the manifold to the exhaust and i has massive blowby and need of a rebuild
and unforutely its autooh and it broke a bolt in the lower control arm so something might be bent as well

YOU BASTARD! From where im standing [or sitting] it looks like a late model jap import, probably a Handling By Lotus model! Again its got the analogue dash, different tail lights, no rear garnish and its in a colour that was availible overseas but never hear. Sounds like its an 87/88/89 HBL!
I am really upset at you now
lol

Sweet. What do you need to get it turbo again Brad????
I could be interested in the manifold with the elbow welded on it. Can you put up a pic of it.

Nah thats all good. Im looking for a butchered manifold to change to the 3 bolt subaru pattern and i thought if they had welded that one...................
Doesnt the motor go in the white one that had the front end ripped out????

Perhaps you could add a $300 super special rusty 2L shuttle to your collection. Drop that motor in the Piazza.
Even a 1.8L it wont go fast but it will go and being a 4Z motor the 4 speed auto will bolt up to the back of it.

There was a turbo and manifold on Ozgemini. It was an old thread in the forsale section that got dragged back up to the front.
*******************************************
That eBay turbo is the wrong dump pattern.

yeah the one in the white one goes but I think i might just keep that whole and put it into storage or something
do you think it will be huge problems putting in a 4zd1 or 4ze1 to get it regod?
and i think i might end up going with a t3 or soemthing anyway so ??
i dont know what imi doing atm I keep changing my mind and shit and confusing myself lol
