Anybody Have a Soft Spot for TURBO Cars?
I had two back in the day, a 1985 GLH-T and a 1987 GLHS. The 85 was pretty much stock with a boost regulator that allowed timed overboost. It was a very fun car u til it was rear ended and totaled.
The GLHS was my toy. Stage III heads, turbo, IN, BOV, 3" exhaust, SMEC conversion and an 18 psi chip plus suspension, etc. Traction was a rumor through the first two gears. I wrecked two 525 5 speeds and finally dropped a valve killing the motor.
Put in a barely used 2.5 T1 which I converted over to TII specs with my old gear, swapped in a better 523 cable operated transmission. The body had almost 250k miles. A friend holed a piston and with the frame rot it was sent to the scrap yard. Boy they were fun cars!
