Found this on eBay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Isuzu-IMPULSE-TURBO-1989-ISUZU-IMPULSE-TURBO-LOTUS-TUNED-SUSPENSION-RARE_W0QQitemZ230048186179QQihZ013QQcategoryZ6271QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Busted timing belt so you will have to most likely renew all the valves.

Its under $600 still, dont know for how long as its a nice looking car.


If someone here grabs it for the engine theres a few bits id buy off the car.


Cheers, Bob.

Hmmm too nice to buy just for the engine, i mean for the price of a timing belt you can have a very nice car. wrong Coast for me though :x

Will cost more than a timing belt.

Theres not enough clearance and all the valves will be bent. If not all most of them.

Bob's right. Still though, for the cost of reworking the head and a timing belt that would be a nice car. Too bad it is so far away from me.

I've got an 88 non-turbo Imp parts car Bob, what bits are you looking for? I can take a look and see if I still have them.
