my new 75 turbo america.....

[aforalfa]

My god it was hot out there....

but we managed to get it at least a little shiney, me thinks its gonna need a good moppin tho..... oh, and i didn't do anything with the wheels, as they aint stayin...







tis a bit dirty under here, but nothing some elbow grease, and some effort won't fix...




It needs some work, like a new back box, new bumpers, different wheels.

Is it going to add, or remove, or no change the value if i were to change rims for revos, and bumpers for veloces, and a stainless exhaust (not loud or chav like, just standard but in stainless for longevity)??????

wodda you lot think???

Thats a hell of a radiator pipe there! Col said they are supposed to be very quick! Is it for keeps this one?

Hmmm 75 Turbo, I want one!!!

They don't have that much power as std, but then again they aren't heavy, and a couple of mod's will see 200bhp+

As for the wheels and bumpers, I don't think they will add a great deal of value to the car, as the 75 has a limited market. They will definately make it look better though.

Exhaust time, ditch everything apart from the back box. Turbos act as great noise suppressors so you really don't need that much in the way of silencers. 2.5" (63mm) tubing from turbo to back box should release abit more power and still be nice and quiet.

Whats the interior like?

I have a big soft spot for the 75, had a 2.0L ts a few years back bought for ?175, would thrash up and down the motorway all day at 90 mph, great on wet roundabouts as well

I'm open to offers

the interior is ok, needs a clean, just havent got round to it.

The zorst was done today, went for two boxes, whoever buys it can do with it what they please, but for me, i wanna keep it saleable, not individual.

If it was being kept, i would have a 3inch pipe put all the way through from the turbo, in prep for 300hp.

It definately feels quicker as the huge flatened section of the OE pipe is no more, and that helps the flow no end.

no

and col's is chipped

If anyone happens to have a chip lying around for one of these, and wants to swap it for ?100, please let me know....

I'd go out and get a 75 tomorrow, but it wouldn't go down too well with swmbo. I just can't decide whether it would be a turbo, or tuned 2.0L or maybe get a 75 and drop the 2.0L Lampretti turbo lump in.
