Ok. So I've seen the car and now I have questions. I like it enough. It has the usual issues: cracked dash, sagging passenger seat, passenger window (crank) doesn't move.
Also, clutch action seemed low to the floor. Held well though through the power. Is this adjustable or a sign of a clutch near the end?
No Vac hose from the vavle cover to the throttle body, but it still ran fine(ish) I was suprised because usually if you pull that one or yank the oil dip stick the cars will stall or stumble. So I'm wondering how far out of perfect tune it is and what they've done to get it to idle and run.
When I drove it it pulled well and the turbo went towards the red but at about 3500-4000 it cut out until the revs fell a bunch and then ran perfectly up to that point. (wastegate issues?)
The car is ealry MY '82 so it has no APC, can this be added from a parts car or are there wiring issues and other hassles.
Tranny was a touch notchy, but for the age it was about the same as the other cars ('81, 2X'84, 85) that I've had.
He's asking C$1200, but I think I'll offer C$800 and just walk away if he doesnt want to do a deal at that price. I have parts for everything unless it needs ball joints or brake pads, but those aren't expensive.
Very tight handling, new rad, new heater core, no bad engine noises. Three little surface rust spots that have "come on in the last year" Car needs a paint job though.
Cheers!
