QuackDamnYou 08-20-2006 10:47 PM

Jon, that's not leather, it's Vinyl... It's probably a GXL.

Jonlax 08-21-2006 01:35 AM

turbo seats and mirrors? it sounds like a gtu

rowtareh 08-21-2006 01:55 PM

sounds like a gtu to me also.



things people don't know is the fact that gtu's are base models for the 89-91 model.



i just found out my wrecked 89 is actually a gxl, not a GTU. but it don't help since the front end subframe is completely to the left of the ******* car.

rootbeerdragon 08-21-2006 05:07 PM

no power mirrors either,



how can i tell that there turbo seats?





idk if you can tell by the rims but there the ones that have holes in them lol

Rob x-7 08-21-2006 07:39 PM

the round holes?

thats a base model, it does not have 4 piston front brakes

QuackDamnYou 08-21-2006 09:36 PM

Phone Dial Wheels...yep, it's a base model man...

rowtareh 08-21-2006 11:15 PM

QuackDamnYou 08-22-2006 07:52 PM

Well...base model...no power anything unless specifically ordered (rare). Lightest of all the FCs, 146 crank horsepower when new. That's...well...it...

rootbeerdragon 08-22-2006 08:49 PM

banzaitoyota 08-23-2006 09:08 AM

I'm new to this forum...HI!

146 new, lightest of all FC's?...does that go the same for 86's?

AllMotorFC 09-02-2006 02:52 PM

yeah they're the same

I know damned well you're new to the forum https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png



Yes...now I was watching an OLD episode of some OLD British car show on youtube and they said the GXL made '148 brake horsepower' Not sure if Crank and Brake power are the same or different? Someone want to shed light on this?



But yes, it's 146chp



Series 4 N/As run 146chp

Series 5 N/As run 160chp



Series 4 Turbos run 188chp

Series 5 Turbos run 200chp



It's pretty straightforward. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
