My story starts here.
i had a bright yellow turboed GE with 120 Rwkws on 10 PSI with 87,000kms. i was the third owner, the second owner had just bought her off a neighbour and put the turboed engine in and then sold to me. i loved that car. and one day i got a call at work from mum saying a tree had fallen on her. i was devistated. needless to say, i looked on ebay in search of something close to it and to my pure luck, there was a bright yellow GE with 58,000kms on it in imaculate condition. i placed a $3000 bid and ended up winning the car for $1400 with 5 months rego. i would have bid more than $3000, but i was limited with cash issues. A week later my new dream car was tucked away in my grandmothers garage and there it stayed for 3 years until now.
My plans for the car are to have between 250 to 300 Rwkws, keep it stock looking, quiet exhaust, all engineered and legal but most of all un cut and un damaged so it can be returned to standard if i wish. i have swaped numerous parts with the original GE to save hacking parts in this one. parts such as the center console with heater and radio controles, dash and other parts.
my first round of goals for the car are as follow:
- * A good service to freshen up the engine DONE
* Manual conversion. i have all parts in the boot currently, i just got back form holidays and collectiong the car, just awaiting funds to get the swap completed. DONE
* Fuel injection. i have most of the parts, only a few minor bits need finnishing.
* Re do the brake lines as they are a little rusty
* Lowered springs and shocks
* White rear venitians
* White wheels or my turbo rims DONE
* Extractors with stainless steel exhaust. maby 2.75 inch exhaust. but must be quiet.
* Get my JET 51G plate transfered over
* Install my 80s imobeliser from original GE
* Centeral locking/alarm fitted
* Air conditioning fitted
* Get hood repainted as it has a few chips on it will probably get 'silvia' painted in white down the front on an angle so people know who they are looking at
i am currently trying to complete piecing together the engine in my suzuki so i can have it as a daily, so funds will be slightly limited for now, but i think i can get the manual swap and fuel injection done soon.
