July 26, 200817 yr Author im suprised you still could buy brand new water pumps for these. normally when i asked bout parts for my other 1400 i would get laughted at by the parts store. ive orded new water pump and themostat. picked up new water hoses and hose clips. so now i just have to wait for pump 2 turn up then hopefully i can go get it back on thr road soon
July 29, 200817 yr Author well heres the new pump and themostat painted the pully since it wasnt rust proofed I took the the themostat housing off but run in to an few probs like the bolt heads broke on it. so im going to pull the manifold and remove the broken bolts etc. also tidy up the motor and repaint the the air filter cover etc
September 5, 200817 yr how rare are these in america? I love the look and the sound! would look nice next to my XT yeah?
September 5, 200817 yr Author i dnt think they sold the GSR in the states??? they did sell the GL coupe there tho. mine still is in peices. trying 2 find an carb rebuild kit at the moment
September 5, 200817 yr how rare are these in america?I love the look and the sound! would look nice next to my XT yeah? So rare you will never see one lol. As Kiwi Said above they were not imported to the US and neither were the EA81RX cars. So basically all other countries got the cool cars and US got the slower versions. You could always track down a 73ish coupe and build your own GSR.
September 5, 200817 yr You could always track down a 73ish coupe and build your own GSR. US would be a '72 or '73 for the really cool old style. 1974 saw the squared bumpers with shocks and further ugliness. And,good luck finding one of these too. Seems Israel and one of those Kiwi islands are about the only places to dig one out from.
September 5, 200817 yr Just move here, I think we've got enough to go around.. Also, James. I have heard there is a 72-73ish GSR in the Auckland Takanini pick-a-park car wreckers. just fyi
