hey ever since i got my car ive been trying to find out what it is its like a gold color with red interior when i got it. it had a turbo 2 wing, turbo 2 rims, turbo 2 trany with rear end and stuff, but it has a heavy hood no power windows no sunroof big brakes s5 tailights with leather turbo 2 seats
|
its a frankenstein
|
Is it turbocharged, lol? What year is the car...that color combo sounds like an '86 GXL, but there was a bronze TII back in '87 though too... need more info...
|
arent all turbo II hoods alum? Im thinking he has a base hood with no scoop because its steel. And no scoop = no intercooler (hopefully https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...)

I've heard of reproduction T2 hoods that are steel. I think all the originals were aluminum.

Not true... in '87 the T2 had both steel and AL.... I've had two friends, both w/ white '87 T2s that had steel hoods. T2s had both....
|
i thought base's had alum hoods...
|
the vert has an al hood
|
all verts have an aluminum hood. all turbos have aluminum hoods (if its steel its not oem, keep in mind the t2 hood is over $1000, so people used to steal em).
anything else is a crapshoot, it might have steel or aluminum. |
s5 SE model

Are you 100% sure? Is there something I can see that says this...because the one '87 was all original w/ low miles; I find it hard to believe that they would have replaced the hood w/ a steel one for no reason...and to have two from the same year, made within 6 months of each other both having steel hoods? Dunno, Mazda probably won't be able to tell me, I know more about their cars then they do at my local Mazda dealer.... |
yea its not a turbo 2 hood i wish it was its heavy i want to get an aluminum one the car doesnt have any stickers like GLX or GTU the car is an 87 n/a and do all turbo 2 tranys blot up to n/a motors i was just wondering
