Bought a pretty clean FC last July and am slowly working on it.

It's an 87 Base NA... 66,xxx miles
So far I have done the 5-lug TII brake/hub conversion, short shifter, custom exhaust.. ACT 6-puck few other small things.

In the works:
Stance AL Pro+ coilovers on the way, should be here in about 3 weeks, OS Giken Superlock Diff (I have the TII diff), MMR rear camber pieces, diff and subframe bushings are next. In the process of making a weekend warrior out of it. Engine swap (LS1) might happen sometime this season.

So.. Hello... looking for moar N.NJ people into racing (on a track).

looks clean! welcome.

Car looks clean. LSX swap would be nice but you should at least get as much use as you can out of that engine/body before that. No point in letting a low mileage engine goto waste. If you need parts let us know, my little bro has a ****load of extra parts, mostly t2 I believe.

Welcome to the family! Your car looks quite clean!

Thanks! always good to know where to source parts.
Yeah I plan on driving the hell outta it before the swap... Learning to drift is 1st on my list, I have autocrossed, drag raced and done some road course stuff... so I fig why not.

Welcome to TST :)

Welcome to tst. Did you do the full turboII drivetrain swap, or just the diff with custom driveshaft?

I think about doing the ls1 swap from time to time, but the idea of a fast reliable car scares me. :p

I have the custom DS and TII axels.

Diff is not installed yet, waiting for enough funds to rebuild the diff and the OS Giken superlock :mrgreen: should be installed come Feb
