Just thought i would post up a few pics of my car here in the uk,
You might know of it.
Rover 220 coupe turbo.
1994 - Charcoal Grey - Black Half Leather interior.
Engine:
2.0 T16 - JE forged pistons fitted as standard(not the strongest)
Green cotton 51mm filter fitted to intake
Magnecor KV85 Racing Ignition Sysytem
Denso Iridium Spark plugs
Head skimmed and valves re-seated
Klinger Headgasket
Standard T25 turbo - with forge bolt on atmospheric dumpvalve.
Mongoose Downpipe-back exhaust with de cat section.
Soon to be fitted - pulsar i/c converted to FMIC(by reversing tank ends)
GT28RS - trying to find a decent one that has not been ragged already
Brakes:
AP racing Vented front discs - solid rear - no grooves or cross drill.
Redstuff Ceramic Brake pads All round.
Braided hoses all round - goodrich
Suspension:
Eibach Pro street suspension kit - shocks dampers etc.

Polybushed front and rear.
Gearbox:
Standard PG1 with ToRsen LSD
Rebuilt with steel caged bearings - Diff bearings also replaced.

Bodywork:
totally standard apart from 17" tsw reflex wheels
p.s. the bodywork is pretty bad - rust is beginning to eat at it
our winters are wet, and the roads are always salted.but again the car is 14 years old.
would make a good bodywork project for someone when i sell it for going to kuwait
enjoy:

there was some sharing of parts and designs - all rover coupe 1.6s had a honda engine in them - and all the earlier 200s and 400s had honda DOHC engines.stone-head wrote:was it produced during rover-honda marriage golden days ??

all the rest were either T series (mine) or K series.
