Here is the AB GSR me and my brother have been slowly fixing up for a while now.Its basicly stock, Just a bleed valve, turbo timer, 8mm Topgun leads, new coil and Bosh Super4 plugs (Highly recommend, also have in starion).
We also have a Turbosmart BOV and an intercooler to install after roadworthy.

The heat sheilding is the same stuff ive seen used in turbo falcons. ACL make it. I bought a sheet of it to make a turbo sheild for my Starion and used some of what was left to make the Cordia one. The rims are aftermarket. They were off a GE Sigma at a wreckers. The caps for the centre have Delta on them.

I resrayed the rocker cover and aircan myself as i didnt like the "shitty scratched black" that was on it. I just used high quality paint (ie not the export brand paint). It hasnt distorted from heat at all.

paint looks good and straight to

I always wanted to put dragway mags on but the fat tyres on the front and cheese cutters on the rear, would look real 80s drag racing

Looks sweet. Just a question. In the 2nd pic in the 1st post, you have a t-piece coming off your heater hose. Whats with that?

That T peice is for the water cooling feed for the turbo,, its how i got the car.

No need for power steering or aircon, My hands can steer and i can wind the windows down for cool breeze.. not to mention my car is now lighter and more powerful, lol j/k

Im currently fitting Low King springs to the rear.. got them from my ET Pulsar wreck.. got to love free stuff. free Haltech, Free BOV, Free boost controller, Free mags and now free low springs.

oh man gotta have that power steering in the cordia.

I had no P/S on the GSL, and P/S on the GSR's. Love that power steerin. Light as a feather.... much less turning of the wheel

....although no P/S did have a better feel when ure enthusiastic :lol:


But yeh aircon..... thats heavy.

My Starion has all the nice bits.. the Cordia is more of a bare bones car.. Not many luxuries. My sigma had no powersteering and i absolutly loved it, so much feel, and it was easy to turn. To bad it didnt have much go.

Just finished putting in the springs,, now the car sits level.. looks better now

I have the same sorta setup for my turbocharger, it's because it's not a Turbo inlet manifold, I guess! Coz there was no water supply for turbo beneath the manifold! That's why we did this to mine!

Image

We used the thermostat housing to supply the turbo first, and then continues into the heater...

I do have a question though... Does the water that goes through the heater hoses constantly flow, or does it stop when the heater isn't in use???
