Noob with a Bluebird Turbo

[SRTurbo86]

Hello, I recently purchased a Bluebird SR Turbo (although states ZX on the log book) and I am having some trouble finding out anything about them other than they are extremely rare now!

Its a 1986 D reg model made in Japan and finished in lovely 80's two tone paintwork. Some utter arsehole has jumped on the bonnet, meaning I need another one... any help here would be greatly appreciated as they same to be extremely hard to come by! I also want to look at tuning the car up as even with a brief read through some of the posts on here I see that 200+ bhp is available!...

If anyone has a cheap intercooler and other parts that will help me do this I'd be very interested!











Any help much appreciated!

Thanks, its remarkably clean considering its age and the fact its a bluebird! As far as I can tell this is the only SR Turbo left on the roads here. ZX Turbos seem pretty scarce as well!

The bonnet looks ok fro ma distance but when you get up close you can see where its been warped by someone doing the riverdance on it. Really annoying as its such a large awkward part to get hold of! One on ebay at the minute but its a good 3 hour drive away from me.

Dang that's clean mate. Have a look on retro rides I see these pop up every now and again. Might be worth posting a wanted ad for a bonnet on there.
