RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

Has anyone seen this?

Wonder what the tuning (power/torque) potential is? I wouldn't expect the handling to be all that great with a big cast iron V6 lump...

Cheers, Dan

Big T4 turbo, old school V6 boat anchor up front, would be laggy and horrible I reckon.

Yeah but have a look at the seller

Agreed - turns the car from a probable pig to something that would be well engineered and worth the money.

That red coupe was the fastest 4cyl in Australia some years back - running in the 9's from memory.

i would of thought a t4 would be suited to the 3ltr v6, wish i had the money

I don't know the seller but I am still not convinced however you would know better than me.

I have had a crack a couple of V6 powered esky's and they were pretty understeery and not much fun when pushed. Sounded good though. I am always dubious of any add that says stuff like this "It has been tuned on the street with my microteck air fuel meter but a quick trip to the dyno would do it wonders as I have kept the boost quite low" because what it usually means is the thing is a pig, I havent been able to sort it out, if you spend lots of $$$ on the dyno maybe you can. Its also an excuse for the thing running like a pig when you go and look at it.

Just my thoughts and experience when going to look at the weird and wonderfull as a potential toy. It would be fun at the lights and interesting in the wet though!

it MIGHT ? go in a straight line
BUT
does it stop ? before a corner ?
can it go around a corner ?
what happens if it hits a bump ?
