We won with it. 2 days, 2 8hr races, 2 wins against some pretty stiff competition. Plus we set fast lap of the weekend and I think a new track record for an endurance race car of any kind around AMP.

 

Finally, after about a year of getting the parts together and the drive to do it, I got my s4 intake installed. Everything went smooth aside from a few bits needing a bit of bending and grinding. Made a new recovery bottle but had to mount it in front of the radiator which is gonna suck to check. Still have to bleed the coolant system before I hit the road but already the throttle response feels better.

 

A lot of people have told me "You should put an S4 intake on your SE, it bolts right on!" obviously NOT. LOL

 

I wouldn't do another S4 install again.

 

I stared at it for 20 minutes this morning. Looks like it's going fast just sittin there. It rained so it was the next best thing!!

 

I took a pretty picture of the car while undergoing extensive fabrication. Notice that 5-lug front end? Yea, the rear will match soon...and this isn't some redrilled hub bullshit either.

 

Yeah not exactly bolt on but it wasn't too bad. It was just one of those measure twice cut once sort of things that made it take up so much time. I think it was worth it, definitely feels better in that 5k+ range.

Damn that's clean, kind of makes me wish I kept mine stock.

 

Here is a shot of my '84 reflected in the glass spires of one of the PPG Towers in downtown Pittsburgh on Wednesday, July 13.
The 2nd shot shows the plaza where the car was displayed. My car would have been on the opposite side of the fountain from where this photo was taken.

Finally sorted out my sa engine on problems. I had a friend come out and we reset the timing (again)�� and after that we played with the weber tuning it and now it runs and phenomenally.
Next thing to do is put it on a trailer and a off to the track.

 

Put a new brown stripe on, removed the side moulding.

 

Attended the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix Car Show 1 SA, 3 FBs an FC and 2 FDs showed up.

 

Beautiful FB, I like the wheel combo with the paint color.

 

Researched forum for S4 mod on my FB today. Thinking S4 with pineapple race inserts, clean and refurb injectors (never been done)

 

I did inventory of what I needed to re assemble

 

Hey, I put an S4 intake on a GSL-SE engine and it bolted right on!

Of course I wasn't using Mazda engine management, so it was easy in that respect...

Today I drove it to work and back. Then put fuel in it for the second time this year.

 

I yelled at it, praying the idle would keep going but

 

Took out the old radio joystick and made a neat compass.

 

Considering leaving side moldings off my Se when painted,though been a couple tines in the past a non caring person whacked my car pretty good with their car door,if not for that molding would have been sporting some good dents. Like the air dam on front of your car,nice fit. Installing one very similar if not exact on my car in a few days,hoping finished product looks good as yours. Spied what looks to be a Piper Cub with pontoons in your garage. R/C planes are one of my other addictions. Is it gas or electric?

 

that's a good job you did there,i have a 84 gsl se and just got my hands on a cartech hy therm turbo kit for se,my engine is 124,000 and before I plug n play im gonna rebuild,port,refresh suspension and brakes t2 tranny and last thing would be a water injection kit,not looking much on hp gain but to avoid detonation,somebody has experience with them?

 

Working out electrical and cooling system bugs. Still has a broken rear in it and the body has some nasty cracking that I need to fix before I can rallycross it again.


But it sounds so good when I shift at 10k.

Also I drove it to southeast Ohio yesterday. 16mpg at 75mph cruise and 24mpg at 65mph cruise...

 

Took her out for some exercise at the American Auto-X event in Marina yesterday. The car was fine. The driver needed some adjusting though.
