Makes P80 radiators sound like a breeze! And juggling that heat exchanger sandwich on turbo cars can be a pain.

Its a fun little car though - I got the Turbo S version in the first production year and got 180 HP with a 5 speed in a light car - its quite a neck snapper on the road. I can't quite play with the big boys but I used to stay on the corner of the BMW up the Berskhire upslope to their chagrin - and I had 50,000 more dollars left over...plus I have my hair, and don't think a $150 oil change is 'normal'

I want to get the smaller S60 mirrors for my XC wagon and paint to match, but it's just basic black, shouldn't be too hard.

Yeah if you want it to look really good you should use a spray gun. You can get spray can jobs to look ok but it takes some practice.

You definitely caught that passenger side mount right on time! They can be a pain once the bolt heads dig into the rubber.

Already did the turbo oil drain seal 6 months ago, it was raining oil from there

The turbo looks oil free from down there.
I think the axle seal is leaking a bit yep

Oh no that is not color matched. Just some whitish i found at oreillys. Looks a thousand times better than before thoughPut primer, paint and clear on it. Looks terrible

Color match the rest of the car with oreilly paint and it will look good

How about a nice V8 MX-5....? Much fast.
