Panda "Snow White" ST205, At last I got it ! Options

[Panda]

Yep, at last, after having sold my 1.8 ST, I bought my beloved Celica ST205 this saturday in Italy.
Ok, let's go for the photos first









This beauty was first registred in november 94 and has 103.000 km. Full stock, and really good shape (only one fender would need some repainting since I am a maniac).



















Engine bay is clean :




Mine was the first I ever drove, and waow my god
It accelerates like hell, I am already in love !

When driving back from Italy to France, my mean fuel consumption was around 10.5 liters per 100 km, so quite few, I was surprised. I always heard this car was a pain with fuel consumption, but my old underpowered AE86 was almost as thirsty !

I was a bit disappointent when I tried an ST185 and a Carlos Sainz in the past, and I must admit the ST205 is really on another level. I tried a top speed run on sunday on a French highway, I reached 260 km/h and the car would still tell me "come on, push it"

For now, first I will make a large check up, change the oils, spark plugs, filters... And later will come a standard BPU, with intake/exhaust/boost raise, some bronze wheels...

Thanks for reading

Yep, 1 grade colder since I will boost up a little

Beautiful car. I am going to be coming to France either this spring or this fall... I'm not sure where Mulhouse is, but I'd love to get together, if you want.

Mulhouse is east of France, near Germany and Switzerland. If you are near, it would be a pleasure

I am looking for photos or explanation about how to flush and refill the intercooler coolant fluid, and same for the engine coolant fluid... If you know where I can find this...
