    I will get dimensions. It is in stock location so the width is what we increased.
    14 psi is right where we got.
    Waiting to shake it down this weekend.

    I'd back it down a hair, hitting overboost shutdown repeatedly is tough on the engine. Either that or time for an ECU upgrade.

    Some haters, but more appreciation for it I think. Course the looks are controversial, but it isn't getting killed.

    That's cool , such a good tone. Every gtp needs to save that link. Hopefully some how the bidding will go somewhere.
    Its very easy for me to see how Warren would have gotten exasperated with the know nothing /negative attitude of general population.

    Re: Swap one gtp for another

    Congrats on the sale, was fun watching that auction and a couple of the others. The Honda Z600 was a neat little car, I could totally see myself driving around town in something tiny like that.

    So are you definitely buying the T3 GTP now?

    Yes buying Mike's car.
    The best part of Bat auction vs Ebay is that they add 2 min after each bid that comes in with in the last 5 min.
    So no sniping.

    New owner has Bmw e30 race cars. Lives in Birmingham al. He like me had never driven or seen a gtp prior to buying one on an auction.

    Re: Swap one gtp for another

    Mikes car is in my garage as of wednesday. Have not driven yet as i am waiting for machine shop to get axles put together. Engine sounds great.

    Has anyone had any luck adjusting doors ? I loosened up hinge bolts , jacked up door , re tightened , but no real improvement in door fit.

    So far some notes between series 1 vs 2.
    Series 2 - more head room. The lighter body shell appears to have more waves/ imperfection then the series 1.
    Dash is more ergonomically set up.
    Engine cover seems much heavier , and it requires a key to open and close as does the frunk, mildly annoying. Engine cover prop is too high making it difficult to open and close.


    So far I am in midst of removing stock seats , fitting a roll cage I found at Rossion , just to see if it fits while seats are out.

    Have some leaks and stuff to work on while waiting for axles.

    Rossion ' s interior guy is going to stop by to look at doing a lightweight carpet and headliner.

    Does anyone recognize these mirrors , they are on the factory t3 car and the hammerhead race car , are they from a stealth?

    Lastly did anyone ever come across the side scoop the attaches to intercooler on the late model series 2 cars ,if so I will buy it.
    And also a series 2 drivers side door.
    I have a series 1 to trade.
    Thanks , sorry for the long post , and will update as I get car back together.
