Turbo Optima goes to full option ... and becomes Salute!

Post by cyberfox »

Hi,

Another of my projects is to add maximum of available Option house for this car.

that's the Turbo Optima as currently:

He already has a few options: chrome wheels, belt kit, rear hoof (which will perhaps not stand), but others will come and add :twisted:

Regards,
CyberFox.

Sounds like fun...and expensive, unless you've already sourced all the Option House upgrades already. :) If this is going to be a runner, be sure to track down a hard final pinion gear (OT-76) and the torque limiter gear (OT-74). The original Optima doesn't have these essential powertrain upgrades.

I have almost everything I want, I need only to find lateral gold protections and special rod set. Also a radio post screw, I have lost one :?

It won't be a runner, so I don't need to take care of fragile moving parts :wink:

Then why add the belt drive conversion, if it's just gonna sit on a shelf? :?

Plus, the conversion was an Option House part, so how could you leave it out for a full Option House Optima? :D

I finally found the last missing parts to complete the Turbo Optima Gold (special rod set), so it' now finished, at least as I wanted: no motor protection, it's voluntary, I did'nt want to hide such a beautiful piece 8)
