Turbo coupe
won the coupe on ebay. Plans are to put my metro turbo engine in until the bodywork is complete on my metro then will hopefully be fitting my spare 993cc turbo engine from a charade GTti. metro engine has a gt20 turbo, LSD, straight cut drops and gears etc Got most of the electrics working now. Need to modify engine cover, subframe and spaceframe for the metro engine to fit Want to have it ready to take on the drag strip in july/august

We will find out in July Neil

Re: Turbo coupe
Well avon was wet yesterday.
Can't select reverse in the gtm. I think it may be where/how the reverse switch is fitted. It is on a metro linkage and the switch is mounted on the other side to original position in a hole which is factory made but it is not 180degrees round from original. The bottom plate has been swapped round so the gate is not the problem!

I checked it. Think the problem is I need to shorten part of the linkage, the gearstick does not rest in the center its too far back
