My brother bought this car about 6 months ago raced it a few times and parked it as it has issues with running WAY rich. (it needs an AFPR) He was going to restore it back to factory condition. Well he decided to leave the state and not tell any of his family or friends, (what a brother huh?) and left this car at a friend of the familys shop just sitting there taking up space. So i went down there today and told him id gladly take it off his hands :evil2: and now here we are! :biglaugh:

Its an 85 omni GLH turbo non intercooled, Its got alot of issues but hey it runs and its just as fast as my supra it just delivers the power in a spool up sounds alot cooler way! :naughty:

Supposedly it has the factory shelby cage in it and those are the shelby wheels i know its got bigger injectors (part of the reason why its rich supposedly) and its got a straight pipe exhaust and im talkin straight theres only 2 bends and its WIDE open, very loud and you can hear the turbo like crazy!

Enough bs storys heres the pics!

Like i said my plans right now are to figure out what ive got to work with it runs great in boost but anything lower than max boost its pig rich its done a 10.55 in the 8th with my brother driving who weighs about 450 and doesnt drive a stick every day and while it had fouled plugs.

Ive always loved these things tho so im pretty psyched! I cant wait to get it off the trailer tomorrow!

WOW......I hope that thing is fast! I wouldn't really call 10.55 in the 1/8 fast tho. Is your Supra that slow?
Click to expand...

Its faster than ive ever been able to do in my supra,(i prolly need driver mod or a cool day not a 95 degree florida day) the run he did 10.55 on i was right next to him and pulling at the top of 2nd when i went for 3rd and missed :3d_frown: no its not fast by todays standards but its good enough by mine its scooty enough to be a fun little car.

its for sure not making the horsepower it use too, who knows what its makin now. im gonna guess 120 maybe 150tq they were rated at 145hp 175tq.

Edit: to be completely honest fast isnt on my mind right now i just got a mid 80's boosted car for free! i love 80's cars and turbos make me love them more!

That is a badass car!!! Single-cam turbo FTW. lol

10.55 is not that fast though. You should be able to pull a lot better times than your brother in that car. I mean in my stock 07 Accord 4-door 4-cylinder 5speed I pulled 9.941@70.15mph.

You gotta remember this car is also older than me and my supra! Its 22 years old my supra is 21 years old, Normally when we go to the track its on a sunday for an event called runday sunday, You run all day for a set price. For some reason everytime we go its 95* and up with above 90% humidity and NO cloud cover at all. That prolly hurts that non intercooled car alot. But most of it can prolly be accounted to me not being a very good driver but im learning as i go so all i can do is my best, I realize 10.55 isnt fast at all most stock cars now adays could smoke me but that doesnt bother me im driving to my full abilitys which havnt fully been discovered yet. :)

Ive yet to take this car to the track but id imagin i can get some better times out of it, im almost 200lbs less than my brother and i can drive alot better than him. :biglaugh:

Its got the trap speeds 65-70mph my supra is around the same but the times arent down enough i dunno if its how im launching or what, The only time ive been at night in the supra is when i did my best times but the trap speed was down and it was my first time ever going. I know the last time we went the car started puking oil into the airbox (which is why that gatorade bottle is there) and i burnt the crap out of my clutch in the supra which bummed my day because i was hoping to break into the 10's.

You guys realize my car is a stock full weight n/a right? :biglaugh:

Sorry for the book i just wrote.

nah it wasnt running in that pic the tach is broke and stuck at 1 and that gauge reads 0-1 when the car is off.

at idle it pulls between 10-15 vaccume. it does however spool pretty quickly if i had a tach id tell you exactly when but both tachs in the car dont work for some od reason which id like to find out why.
