my new wasted city turbo II

[connorling]

man, i bought the car yesterday for 750 ( with front mount intercooler and BOV).


knowing the clutch need replacing, i still went with it and bought it.

today i took the car to the mech. shop, finding out there r lot more need to be done....... here we go the list


wheel bearing
clutch---got some heavy duty clutch next week)
CV
Cat convertor
rear struts
rear tyres
sub frame falling off
gearbox isnt bolted up in place
outside door handle is broken (waiting for the shop to call back)
the speedo isnt working (cable not in place according to the seller)


do u guy think i should go with it, and fix it?

[ANTHRAXXX]

awww was that from a guy named Ruben here in Perth? I was going to grab that as a parts-car

Where are you getting the clutch done btw?

Depends on how much u want a city turbo. Rare as here...mine's cost me $2000 so far and is going in for work Thursday...prepared to spend whatever it takes over time though myself..

[connorling]

i saw it on gumtree, forgot his name.......

well, it is so far costing more than 1100

and heavy clutch is 600 inclding installation.

once it is done, we should meet up hey

clutch is getting done at auto clutch in osborne place

i cant believe i missed seeing this car for sale probably just as well i don’t have the space for another one lol.
as for the parts u need the cat sounds like "bs" cars made before 1986 (i think it is) can legally not have cats so instead of paying for a new one take your money to an exhort shop and get a 3" pipe put in where it go's & get a bit more HP's . and as for the sub frame & gearbox bolts it just sounds like someone’s dropped the engine out recently & didn’t put it back together properly. the rear struts are going to be hard to find good ones have a chat to James about them. i don’t know how many CV's iv got left but CV's are interchangeable between all city’s so it shouldn’t be to hard to find new ones.


BTW: guy's we need a perth city city day

[connorling]

the guy from the shop say before 1982, u dont need a cat....


as for the CV, i am not sure if it is interchanble with city, but i know wheel bearing isnt, cos the shop can not find one for me at all. the turbo 2 is different to city, cos it is stronger for the extra hp.

[ANTHRAXXX]

*sighs* Yeap would have been a great source of bits...

BUT yes, a Perth City Turbo meet should be on the cards

[connorling]

how many city turbo is there in perth?

[connorling]

could get a half cut from japan for half of that price

[connorling]

half cut including everything from front bumper to the door mirror.

so engine, radiator, cooler, gearbox, drive shaft......

but i only saw that in eastern state.

as in perth, i am not sure

[connorling]

saw one on magazine ad for 1500 to 2k.

[ANTHRAXXX]

Dunno how many Turbo's are around Perth Connorling..only ever seen about 5 driving on the road in the last 20yrs...if your around Maranagroo you may see mine - but not this weekend it's going in for a new front driveshaft.

[connorling]

when mine is done, mean clutch n all the drive shaft done, we should have a cruise


there is a cruise coming up on ozhonda.havent seen honda city in the cruise for the last yr or so, we should go and shows our city turbo power

Parts interchangeability

* CV's / axels etc are all the same between N/A, T1, T2
