Sellers Description
PRICE DROP AGAIN!
Selling my 1989 NA Turbo Roadster.
Will be unregistered, hence the huge price drop.
Used as my daily driver for 2.5 years.
Has been sleeping in a garage since it was imported to Aus about 8 years ago.
Regretfully selling, as I have had my fun with the go-kart for a few years and now its time for something a little bit bigger. (Surprised my wife has let me keep it this long)
Has been repainted NC copper red about 6 years ago, but needs repainting in a few spots.
I have done quite a bit of modification to the car, and the engine has been built with forged parts for peace of mind by Exchange Engine Supplies in Brisbane.
Currently makes 220hp ATW at 15psi on 98. Havent properly dynod+tune on E85 yet, but I would imagine it would be near the 300hp mark. Everything for E85 is there ready to go.
Would suit as a daily driver for someone young like me or at least young at heart.
Or it would easily hit the track straight away with a couple more modifications like roll bar etc.
I have receipts for just about everything also.
NOTE: All modifications worth engineering and mod plating have not been done so. If you wish to re-register it you will need to get this sorted.

Cons:
A couple ecu things still need tuning up.
Cold start needs tuning, also aircon idle up needs to be enabled in ecu.
Bubbled paint on bonnet from unshielded turbo headers a couple years ago.
Drivers door was backed in to a wooden pole whole open, I bent back the dint but still not pretty.
A few little paint scratches here and there.
Soft top is aging. Has a couple tiny holes and some stretching at the seams.
Currently located in Sydney 2203, with about 8 months of QLD rego left. (just did the drive from Brisbane to Sydney in it, was good fun!)
Deciding on a price is hard because of the huge amount of mods, with days and weeks of labor poured in to the car.
I am thinking $12500 is a reasonable price, considering some more work is to be done getting some things engineered and mod plated for legality.
Open to reasonable offers.
