another newbie

:shock: what an awesome site :shock:
although i'm a little dissapointed! you see last year i put a sohc 4g63t into my colt after deciding that the dohc was going to be to hard. i wish i new about this site earlier. although there is one positive about it..the engine i put in is the FWD version, and uses the same block as the dohc so...going that one step further would be relatively easy.


the car is a '73 colt galant GTO

the engine is an '85 sigma GSR

the turbo is the std tc06(so a straight swap for the td05h is on the cards)

i'm running the original 5 speed along with std flywheel and clutch. 8)

WoW! That's an awesome car! I think that there aren't anymore of these cars in Europe! They are all rusted away :? Anyway, very welcome here, and enjoy all the info!

That car is hard.. now you've got me thinking about importing one.. shit. Wonder how much it would cost.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.
