Hi! My 1985 Cherry ZX Turbo ***new video footage and pics***

Post by puffypuss »

Name:Ben Dhir
Location:S.E U.K
Year/ Model:1985 Nissan Cherry ZX Turbo
Colour:Black
Period of ownership:9 Months

Performance: I'm happy with her so far on the "bang for buck" ratio!

Engine Mods:Forge intercooler, Remounted air filter, Baked bean canned the ends of the "Log",Greddy Profec B Boost Controller, Battery relocated to the boot, A stainless steel back box,Greddy turbo timer,A Bailey BOV and Goodridge stainless brake lines.

Interior Mods:Alpine stereo, greddy boost gauge and a 15" 1000watt bass bin!

Exterior Mods:None (I want to keep her looking stock for as long as possible!)

Wheels: Stock (I don't want to change 'em but the 175/70/13's are a bit pants!lol)

Other:I love this car more than my own legs!!!

Future Plans:Coilovers on order for the front (from CMS performance), RB30 60mm TB waiting to go on, Grooved front Discs (cms again) and a bigger turbo at some point

the gauge cluster was standard over here we never got the digital dash or a boost gauge !! and the spoiler was available on some of our cherry turbos i think it was a cost option
