If I were to go for a smelly dirty diesel I would drop in the cit/pug 1.7td lump. They do go very well and should give good mpg. Obviously you cant get much cheaper than LPG.

RE 340 GLT

Post by Black_360_GLT » 16 Sep 2005 12:56 pm

Thanks for the link 340_GLT, its an early spec one so no PAS, and it looks like its been painted with a brush and some hammerite lol.
It is good to see a 3dr 360 GLT though.

I must say i prefer the 5 door model, in black that a certain someone owns at the moment lol

Would it be possible to email me some pics of your car 340_GLT, looks nice.

Excellent car mate, cool job fabricating the strut brace. You have done the same type of thing I did regarding the mesh grill, exactly in fact, I just never got round to fitting it to my 360.

What are your next mods and plans?

Next mod is the brakes!!! Gonna upgrade to the disk setup from a 440 Turbo. Going to do it for my College project!!!
Once i have upgraded the brakes and sorted some insurance out, i am dropping a 1721 Turbo lump from a 440 Turbo in it. Has been done by Huskyracer previously but i already have the engine and the facilities to do it so???
