Moving to a Turbo

[gavinl]

All,

I'm looking to replace my very tired UK NA (178,000) with a much younger turbo.

I plan on moving the modifications over to the new car however I wondered if you have any suggestions on other things that are worth having/keeping

So far I have thought of:

1. UK clocks
2.
3.
4.
5.

are the clocks just standard NA clocks? if so I would just leave the turbo clocks in.

If your worried about it reading in KMH then dont as most likely it will have been converted for you to MPH

Ditto...the Turbo clocks will be better than the n/a. More than likely to be of been converted anyway.

Jap imports usually come with added extras over the UK spec. If you plan on buying the Turbo before selling on the n/a i would compare things like gear knob, gaiter, wheels/tyres, general trim, aerial (if same rev), fogs, seats, T-Bar seals (if you have a T-Bar now and plan on buying Turbo T-Bar) etc
Obviously by removing any good parts from your n/a and replacing with tired/broken parts from any potential car you buy will have an impact on the value of your current car.

I did this when i bought my Tubby 5 years ago. I swapped over the T-Bar seals, the wheels, the gear knob, the short shift, and the radio.
