Turbobricks link requires login. In Franklin NC. $3900 for a sorted turbo 245 with a T5 seems like a good deal if the body is nice. Believe me I'm tempted.

My wife and I test drove one of these when new. It was a lot of fun. We were getting screwed on the trade-in so it didn't happen.

Berk Turbobricks. I used to frequent that site, but it got too annoying trying to log in 15 berking times.

Was the T-5 swapped in? That is not the standard transmission for a 240 Turbo.

Good choice. The standard 240 transmission feels like it came out of a truck.

T5 swap yes. Also the 240 wasn't available these years with a turbo.

Because of all the colleges and businesses around here combined with a mild climate that didn't turn them all into iron oxide.

This. I had to recreate my login a million times over there. I still have to login every time i navigate around. And they dont like my hair-brained schemes such as my goal of eventually putting a v8 in my 940 turbo...

Never have any problems login in there. You do however have to have "thick" skin to hang out on the forums. Some of them (members) are quite brutal.

You'll need to log in to post.
