I picked up coinball's '93 Turbo back about a month ago, and have been taking my time getting to know the car. I figure I should start a build thread of sorts here, so I'm going to do a little catching up from posts I made on another forum.
I picked up this awesome Turquoise Pearl SW22 in NC:
Visited turtl631 and my old S13:
...and am still driving back to Seattle:
I've had a few days of thinking it over on the drive back, and I'm pretty sure I want to experience some 3S-GTE action on track, but the current GReddy TD06 is not strong on response. It is a fairly big turbo with old tech in it, and I'm not sure the external WG/fairly pedestrian fastener materials and lack of heat shielding would make it even possible to track in its current state. It has a Megasquirt PNP ECU, and it definitely needs quite a bit of fine tuning before really beating on it as well. It's gotten a lot better in the 5-10 mins I've spent on it tho!
Long term goals are a nice street/track car that's comfortable and high performing in both locations.
