the thing to watch out for is that it spins in the right direction.
some of the overseas models have the motor pointing the other way to us... |

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | This car was sold to a guy at the aussie magna forum in WA...it was working perfectly.
He took it to Racing Performance Works....(RPW)
In a nutshell...They blew it up on the dyno.
After a lot of game blaming... the poor guy parted it out..real shame..and a bad...bad..effort by RPW...they couldnt work out how a Link ECU works so tried to fit a Haltech and blew the motor.
Moral to the story...if it ain't broke don't fix it...(and in my mind don't take it to RPW)
This was the ONLY intercooled 380 with Sprintex supercharger.
RPW say they are working on one...but...Ho hum...it will never happen...
Mine may have been a prototype lacking the shine of a production model but it worked....as did the ECU and custom injector rail.

Location: NSW | Just read that last update. Heart wrenching!
People and their decisions...sigh.
Please do take heart in the fact that not only did you resurrect another rare 380, you have made it even more unique. In fact, another world first! And have proven yet again, the PS41 platform's and drivetrain's robustness and responsiveness to further mods, especially those with a manual box.
What's more, that 380's parting out has resulted in your work living on in powering so many other 380s if not other compatible models!
I am certainly grateful for people like you, and especially for your help with my LX!
Perhaps one day I will have the room and the dough to get another manual 380 for you to experiment with supercharging, intercooling, LPG, and AWD!
