GTA population boooom of sorts.

See my edit above. BBD's his email. Lee is the username you are looking for.

With respect to the air conditioning issue. The Red GTA turbo I have to call a guy about, has Azev's, Koni's, grooved discs, greenstuff pads, but no air. Asking is 4,500.....

I have a friend out here who builds AC Cobra replicas, and has been around cars in all forms for years, I have to give him a call regards the a/c. I need a compressor(easy) a condensor, reciever/dryer, and the evaporatpor. The evap' is the ahrd part right? How difficult a job is it?
I know you guys have looked into this in-depth, but is it worth it for me to try another avenue and se how I go? He can only say no, right. I think he's a fairly sharp operator, as he was recounting how one fool wanted a Cobra with a soft/hard top and air...so he got it , for a price.

Chris.

A/C problem sorted I think.
My mate, the guy who builds Cobra's (Venom Cobras) thinks it'd be fairly easy to adapt an a/c system to a GTA. ...thinks something japanese will fit. ..has heaps lying around...

I found another GTA on autotrader today, an '87 without a/c again, standard wheels, and suspension, with an engine rebuild by Alpine Racing(Dave G??). The price is the same a sthe '88 I found. 10K less miles too.
The 88 car has had a rebuilt g'box apparently, should I be worried about this?

After listening to the GTA turbo race sound file today at ART website, I think I'll get whatever I buy fitted with a sport muffler...WOWOWOW What a horny note that car plays....almost convinced me 110% to get a GTA...as if I needed encouragement.
I think I just have to get in and do this and stop procrastinating
Are the diagnostic units a good thing to have. At 25 quid I don't think I could lose...and there are enough of us around Brisbane to get good use out of it!
Is there much of a market for second hand benuine mags?? The 88 car has a set included but I really have no space to store them, and I think I'd like a different set of wheels on the GTA, and sell the set it comes with to another GTA owner out here who wants a set.
I also think the Azev 'E's look the best I think.

Wish me luck...off to think about it.

engine rebuild by Alpine Racing(Dave G??).

I think you'll find thats, Paul S (ARR)

Oh I see...yeah it is ART I suppose , Dave has a great website.
I think I emalled DG this morning about the car, OH My God, won't I look silly.

Never worry about looking silly.
You are not the first and wont be the last !

Hahaha,
That makes me feel so much better. At least in a GTA I'll be able to flee the laughter!
