August 26, 200421 yr An '89 turbo wagon showed up at Lynnwood PAP yesterday. Other than the turbo assembly, it's still reasonably intact. No fancy wheels of LSD diff. But it is 4WD with an automatic tranny. Seems to have recent shocks all around as well as front axles. Gen2 heads with evidence of recent work on the driver's side of the engine.
August 26, 200421 yr No rear sway bar with an AT, remember? You have one in your driveway right now :-p Its too far away and not good timing tho. The motor sounds like its a possible core maybe. Is the car wrecked Ed?
August 26, 200421 yr Author Car was not wrecked. Yes, the rear disks are still there as of today. No rear sway bar with an AT, remember? You have one in your driveway right now :-p Its too far away and not good timing tho. The motor sounds like its a possible core maybe.Is the car wrecked Ed?
August 26, 200421 yr Well, its either the engine or tranny thats bad. But considering the engine just had work done on it, who knows?
August 26, 200421 yr Author Car was pretty high mileage for a turbo...over 200K on the odo. Must have been running pretty well for the previous owner to do shocks, axles and some engine work.

August 26, 200421 yr Well then it just could be the tranny. Maybe thought it was going to nickle and dime them to death, so they got rid of it when it stopped shifting right. I wish I could look at it, but I just cant do it Stupid addiction
August 26, 200421 yr No rear sway bar with an AT, remember? Mine has a rear sway bar .. and its a factory AT car.. remember?:-p
August 26, 200421 yr Car was pretty high mileage for a turbo...over 200K on the odo. Must have been running pretty well for the previous owner to do shocks, axles and some engine work. At 200k the engine is just getting broke in ( ), the 86 sedan that I just sold had over 235k and was running fine when it left.
August 26, 200421 yr Caleb, it must be an option then. I have looked at several turbo's in the yard and have seen other AT's that dont have them either. Go figure
August 26, 200421 yr Must be an option - I looked, and the one in my driveway has one too. YAY! Another upgrade for my Brat. GD
August 27, 200421 yr I could swear I looked under there and didnt see one I might have been more interested in the diff I've been trying to get a sway bar for months
August 27, 200421 yr Author I could swear I looked under there and didnt see one I might have been more interested in the diff I've been trying to get a sway bar for months Talk to me at WCSS6 and I'll go back and look at the two turbos in the yard and see if I can pull it for you.
