I dont get much time to go on forums but here is my bad ase 240 GLT.
all them gauges work! Nice in a 240.
Dont panic I've had a few 360's in the past and failed to kill em as hard as I try - Just gear levers falling off
No dead engines

Ooooh nice! Purple rims - excellent
I was very tempted by a 240GLT myself... but then another 360GLT came up!

Are you saying this 240 can outrun a t5?
Leather, leccy windows and mirrors, snowcap, foglights, open air filter, black roof upholstery. What more do you want? >a 2.3 turbo!

The 240 is much quicker on the corners and that is only with a basic set up - stiffer lower springs and good dampers and still on rubber bushes.

Dai I will be asking you for some springs next month to lower the old girl I have, as the vinyls are almost done.

As and when. What dampers are you runjnig? Best to do springs and dampers at the same time.
