Any knocking about over your way that are for sale mate? I found a tx3 on an import/export site and it only worked out at 700ish GBP before shipping. I thought it would have been at least double, given what they are. I think my mates Familia GTR was about 17/1800 GBP. Still nowt!

Na mate, they're rare enough. Try the Irish autotrader website as all the Jap scrap that comes into Europe comes through Dublin.

Cool, haven't been on there in a while. Usually end up looking for VZR N1 Pulsars and anything with an SR16/20VE
Will have a rake about

Lemme know how you get on dude.

Can't find anything of interest on the trader mate, but the lads on the forum have confirmed it left the factory with the Isuzu motor. Crazy

No ****ing way!!! Pics?

[L14MNP]

Check the thread dude, http://www.fordlaser.com/viewtopic.php?t=70057 the one with the scoop is the same as the one I saw and a guy says it's genuine
I want it.

Wow, thats Gay. Its like Pepsi and Coke sharing their Diet Producat. I'm unimpressed.

It doesnt however mention or show pics of the actual diesel engine but we have quite a few Madza 323s locally with that particular scoop on them.

[L14MNP]

Yeah I'm digging for pics of the engine still. Is it true that you can run the Trooper exhaust manifold/turbo on those engines?
Someone told me that just before my mk3 more door Astra died

You need to pop a bonnet see what's underneath mate! If they have the scoop then they probs have an IC too.
What is strange is that the one I saw had a TMIC - could just see it through the hole.
But all 17TD Astras/Cavs have a small FMIC?

[Dod]

Didnt they have TMICs? I dunno mate.

I think the trooper stuff fits on alright but thats as much as I can tell you, that and the 17TD lump doesnt like to be tuned as it'll warp all day long!!
