Hi all,
The car is not turbo.
It drives very good, and in great condition inside and out.
You can put a turbo 2 engine, g/box etc in. I'm planning to do that soon with mine.
I'll get some pics sorted out if you're really interested...
Price? well, haven't really thought about it.
I'd be happy with $2,700 for my good condition (automatic) 1986 Honda City Cabriolet unregisted (even has air conditioning). Or best offer!
If you want it with the turbo motor installed...i might be willing to do that...the price will be considerably higher thought (about 2,500 extra and that's an import with approx 40,000kms & 5-sp manual)
tell me what you think!
The beauty of buying a Cabriolet is that they're not turbo, so you don't have a twisted chassis & f*cked up C.V joints from all that power over the years, but you do have the same ish car (better? convertible!) to put the engine in! (so you can twist the chassis yourself!)
BUT
Be very careful, people say you can get stuff heaps cheap (old T1 & T2's etc) but as i always say "you get what you paid for"
If you get a T1, it'll be really cheap but you WILL have high possability of problems.
If you get a front-cut imported, it will be more expensive but will be in much better condition. READ: Lasts alot longer without spending money on it!
ps. luke.moore (at) studentmail.newcastle.edu.au does work, it might have been down at the time.
