Re: thinkin of buyin

Hi Simon, Yeah, that does seem a bit much!  ??? In NZ they are currently going for around $1000 - 1500. When I got my first one, I paid $6990. It was really tidy and went well. The one I got a few months back was only $1300 and was pretty rough with an extra $700 needed in repairs (stuck wastegate a...

Re: Oil in the intercooler

Hi Loren, If you're not using the air conditioning, you can make use of the cannister that sits just by the heat exchanger. Split it and remove the baffles, then just attach a small filter to the top and make sure the incoming pipe sits near the bottom. It can even go back in the same spot and attac...

Re: selling my city :(

Yo Dizcostu,

Bummer about having to sell your City!
As a guide, I bought my 2nd one 4 months ago for $1300. I've seen them a bit lower, but if it looks pretty good, you should get between $1000-1500.
Good luck!

Any buyers from the group?

Hope every one gets closer to creating their ultimate City's in 2003.
Maybe this will be the year mine finally gets on the road!!

All the best,

Re: aftermarket intercooler ???

Does anyone have any thoughts on intercoolers from other sources, ie. honking big truck jobs or factory ones from bigger cars? I've used part of a Mercedes truck 'cooler, but have heard this isn't a good practice.  ??? As the guys at Turbo Tech told me, it won't flow quite as much as big budget GRed...

Re: the forums :(

Yo Brendan, Like Tony, I vote we keep on going with this one.  :) Any technical issues or help required should still get the same answer if asked again. Yeah, there was some good stuff on the last one, but give this a few weeks and it will be equally as helpful. You can't keep a good City enthusiast...

Re: Project Turbo 2

Way cool, another NZer with some out there ideas!!  ;D I was going to be happy with low 13s,  but mine will also be a show machine. Extending the front is going to make it look different eh! How much of an Evo engine could fit in the standard bay if the firewall was moved? Maybe you could mount the ...

Re: I got another City Cabriolet!

Excellent score Luke!
It's great to find a source of spares when it's getting so hard to find bits.
I've got a spare complete motor and other original bits stashed away in case I do something fatal to the hot one!!
