History
B23E high compression engine with K-camshaft (marine cam). Strongest red block engine of the 1980s. Similar power to the US turbo version! Its not bad...Looks heroic though corners though...
Bosch K-Jetronic Einspritzung!
AW71 transmission
Sachs Turbo Gas Shock Absorbers
Runs like a clock. Head interior is so clean, it looks new, with minimal scuffing of cam lobes. How could I do better? 136 Hp? Couldn’t be too far off.
Modifications
Old-man side reflector/bumper stirps (allows you you open the front doors with reckless abandon)
Obligatory hat
Original fitted sheepskin seat covers front AND rear!
Original AAMI Gold safe driver award!
Possible future mods:
531 ported head
Maybe a more aggressive cam (greater than 260 deg)
4->2->1 header
2.5" exhaust (no catalytic converter)
IPD sway bars (no springs or shocks at this point. Shocks are soft, springs are hard. Ride height is great for offroad!)
