Hi the name is Phil and I'm the proud owner of a 1983 2.2 L Gt Turbo. though a lot of people aren't impressed with the early turbo ponies the 83 was the first issue of manifold fuel injection in a pony car My engine was rated only 7 hp below the V8 of that year and may have actually been as high or higher.
My car came in between the V* GT and the 84 SVO not having the intercooler, 16 inch wheels or suspension mods the SVO had. I'm at least the 3rd or 4th owner of the car and each owner has modified the car a littlle from the last owner.
When i bought the car it came with engine modification that included a 3 in stainless steel exhaust, larger FoMoCo anti sway bars front and back and urethane bushings. Since 've owned it I've had the fuel injection system completely revamped, I've added a 9 in . clutch and a B&M short shifter. My next modification will be a intercooler and switching to a set of standard wheels and rims. I currently have the old TRX wheels on the car but dry rot makes the tires unsafe and Coker is selling replacements at $415.00 a tire. Noooo thank you.
So anyone selling a nice set of 16 or 17 in wheels and or tires let me know. hope to meet you all at some of the shows . i go to the rochester Street machines show and my brother shows his 67 Camaro there as well. Glad to be on board. Phil.
