My Turbo Coupe

Well this is my 220 Turbo Coupe,

She's had alot done to her in the last year and a half since ive owned her, it was my GF's and after 2 years in hospital, not being able to drive, go anywhere with ouy help or anything normal, i decided to buy it when she was selling as i didnt want to see it go

Ive been trying to get the most of performace from her since the start of 2008 and want to show what just a 'ROVER' can do lol. ATM i'd like to think she is running around the 230-240BHP at 12PSI.

My plans for the future are a custom front mounted intercooler and possible t28 turbo upgrade.

anyway to the pics

My engine bay

and all clean at PTM 2008

I hope you all like Icon_cheesygrin

RE: My Turbo Coupe

remove that spoiler, lower it, and think of a bit more up to date kit as the predator kit is a very dated kit, BUT your engine is defo a winner.

RE: My Turbo Coupe

lol chears ppl,

ill admit that there are some BIG changes coming, i know the spoiler is always a bit of a love/hate deal, but im hoping to get the car lowered and then with the FMI and engine performace upgrades should be around the 250+bhp and look somthing like this :

i hope LOL

RE: My Turbo Coupe

Really nice motor dude, always had a soft spot for these, probably the fact i used to own one Icon_lol
as said before not to sure on the spoiler but the rest of the car is bang on! specially the engine bay Icon_cool
photo of my old one you may have seen it before if you were ever on the rover forums........

Still like the predator kit to be honest! the only other one seems to be the mynheer one which sucks to be fair.

P.s the front mount is p0rn! Icon_razz
