US spec turbo?

[Guest]

Hi, Steve PH has told me some differences between them and European models, ie larger and heavier rear bumper and cats fitted earlier.

Just wondered if people could add anymore?

Thanks for that. Is there anything that should put me off buying one instead of a euro version? I just need to find someone to inspect it now. Any recommendations around Stockport?

Certainly sounds like the same car although the advert says it's a US model.

Ah I see. In cosmetic terms it looks loke one, large side repeaters in the front bumper, black rubber spoiler as opossed to the bridge type.

It would have a rubber spoiler anyway being '88 or '89. RoW got bridge spoilers form MY90 only. In terms of any reason not ot look at one, most of the things Andrew listed in his first post on this thread are negatives. If it's the car Andrew knows it's a 220 Turbo which means it likely has no LSD, has smaller brakes, no transmission oil cooler, thinner drive shafts, no hardened 1st and 2nd gears, smaller turbo etc. etc. It would have to be very nice and still very cheap to make it viable IMO.
