This was my normal street car (my company car) from August 1992 to late 1995. It was first register in July 1992 to Autohaus Becker in Bonn (for about 3 weeks!)
It accumulated approx. 130,000 km during this time. Fuel consumption was between 14 l/100 km (in winter) and 17 l/100 km.
The only modifications that were made were wheels and exhaust, and a nice Alpine radio/CD system. This reduced the already small boot to be just large enough for my breifcase to fit in.
Street specifications :
2 x 654 cm3 rotary motor with two turbos operating in a sequential setup originally putting out around 239 Horsepower (DIN)/176 Kwatts.
225/50 ZR-16 Dunlop winter tyres on 8Jx16 rims (winter setup)
8Jx17 Postert PZ 001 rims with Bridgestone RE 71 with :
245/40 ZR-17 front and read
or
235/45 ZR-17 front and 255/40-17 rear
Remus 690 dual tip rear muffler.
The 245/40 tyre setup was not great. The front would follow the street surface too much, and optically, there was not much to see.
The 235 front and 255 rear was certainly the more attractive setup. Steering was good, but acceleration was certainly slower.. |
