Your Dream FB
 
Hey guys, I was browsing the FC forum and came accross a thread they have that is what their dream FC's are and thought it would be cool to see what everyone's dream FB would be. I'll get us started:
Completely restored from the ground up 82 GSL, Tornado Silver Metallic, black interior, 1k on a brand new 12A(yeah brand new not freshly rebuilt ;) ), Rebuilt tranny and rear end. It would be as immaculate as it would have been as it rolled off the assembly line.
Or
A mint GSL-SE like the red one that we all drool over.
Okay guys let's hear what your dream FB is!

This with slight flares, and a Cosmo RE. Some day, when money is no object...

PaImportTuner 05-26-07 09:03 AM

+1 man, I just ordered that air dam. then bubble flares, 13b BP and 50DCOE seems more realistic to me.

thafox 05-26-07 02:57 PM

90% of the resonsesi agree with as far as engine setup being turbo, as far as exterior I'd prob do either mariah mode 1 with some staggered sportmax's (the 5spoke ones) in either a nice orange like the last camaros or lexus pearl white with a nice 4link in the back an camberplates an adj coilovers

The only dream I've been having here lately, is a 20B with a REALLY big fuggin turbo!:)

876portturbo 05-26-07 04:19 PM

I would love to have a 79 sa that they forgot to sell :rlaugh: maybe with 50 test drive miles or so, red with black interior. I would just like to have one that is as close to original condition as possible, bone stock baby!

j_tso 05-26-07 04:27 PM

A mint 1982 GSL in Tornado Silver (charcoal) or Misty Blue Metallic.

I guess I'd change wheels to Panasports and the seats .

Landon303 05-26-07 06:11 PM

any first gen with under like, 4K miles, just all origanal, untouched by anyone pretty much.

or any s2 or s3, with an old school 80's wide body kit, similar to trocoids. would have louvers, on the rear glass, be a gsl or gsl-se as far as interior options go, and have WIDE oldschool mesh wheels. as for motor, an NA 13B peripheral port, or a 20B NA p-port. and spray it maya gold, or the s-2 gold, like on the 82 & 83's.... awwww man.......

funny cuz i was just talking about a dream 1st gen at work today with my buddy who's got a 79 SA.

FirebirdSlayer666 05-26-07 06:24 PM

Yeah these are sounding awesome guys. I guess I should have put SA in the title as well! LOL. The FB I'm building now will be a nice dream come true as well.
Bridgeport 12A with a Hybrid S5 Turbo, Turbo II transmission, Ford 8.8" rear end, full 5 lug swap with 15x7 Panasports in black, Eibach pro kit springs, Tokico Illuminas, All new braded fuel and brake lines, new bushings etc, an MSD ignition to spark things off, and plenty of custom bodywork(don't wanna give away too much ;) ). It would all be caged with some Mazdaspeed seats and a nice fresh coat of Schwarz for the exterior. Just some minor details, there's plenty more that needs done LOL

Yellow '79 05-26-07 07:03 PM

mine would be an SA. Spark yellow, rebuilt form ground up, weber side-draft on a 12A, stock waffles wheels, racing beat springs, and a stock interior w/ glass sunroof. i dont ask for much;)

Sgt.Stinkfist 05-26-07 09:21 PM

ide love a tubbed, tube chassis white '79(must look stock on the outside) w/ a ford 9", a heavily ported 20B(or 26B) w/ aluminum sidehousings...to keep weight down, precision turbo PT-101(maybe PT-109),and a Lenco CS2 5-speed trans. it would be a total sleeper... other than the crazy sounds eminating from the 5" open downpipe. :)

Dan_s_young 05-26-07 09:37 PM

Honestly, my own car, that's why i'm building it.

85 SE, widebody, TII motor - too many mods to list. Shooting for over 400 rwhp. (old picture)

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y83...s/IMG_0854.jpg

steve84GS TII 05-26-07 10:25 PM

Yea,really!

My dream is done now after 10 years of building. Although I am limited by certain factors,there are certain aspects that I would add,if all dreams came true and there were no limits.Those would be.....

For my project car to have been based on a zero mile 1st gen,to assure perfection.
A 20B,with the twins still working....warmed up with bolt-ons.Mondo torque,while not making the HP levels go to level that is was unsafe for the chassis.
Money-is-no-object underpinnings to get the most out of the handling,so its not just a straight line terror.My suspension is good now,but its simply within my budget.
Everything else like the wheels,paint and body mods would remain the same.It was my vision years ago to have the car the way it sits now,changing anything drastic wouldnt feel right....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...y/DSC02046.jpg


If I were to choose an entirely different 1st gen to be my dream car,it'd be Rod Millen's custom AWD Rally 1st gen......exactly the way it was when he raced it,except for a comfy interior and a center differential so it'd be streetable.

-xlr8planet- 05-26-07 10:46 PM

Remember the renesis powered grey fb with black fender flares, gold wheels and advan tires?

yeap, that one

JIMMY54 05-26-07 11:00 PM

My dream Fb would be a 82, rusted out, seized motor, interior that smells like ass.... but with a bag with a million dollars in the trunk! LOL

No really my dream fb is the Red tube frame track car from sweden with that wide body..

It was James Duncar's car, and used to have the whale tale. Legend has it that it was hit by a cop car, and all the magnificent body work was paid for by Louisville Metro.

The user on here is "Malambry", and he's a pretty cool guy. I PM'd him a while back and he sais the car is still running, and is getting a motor built by Ludwig.

I told him he should bring it out to the autocross!

Portland82GSL 05-27-07 01:19 AM

Definitely an 82 GSL with a Half-Bridge 12A turbo, Light-weight low compression rotors, aluminium flywheel with a 6 puck unsprung clutch. Oh, yeah, and a Pearl-white paint job. Sick.

twinkletoes 05-27-07 01:37 AM

Defintaely the number 7 first gen..green and white.

kgray 05-27-07 01:39 AM

lol sweeden it's been brought up many times, but noone really knows. Most likely a one-off

Max7 05-27-07 11:44 AM

I find a Dream car is never a reality car. I've always got one more thing to do on mine to make it my dream car. But when I do that, I find another thing I want to do. Thus I will never have my dream car. But my reality car ain't to bad. hehe :)

blown7 05-27-07 01:04 PM

Our dream cars are pretty simple. One completely restored GSL-SE, stock for efficient daily driving. The other is a FB bodied drag car. We have our '85 GSL shell full of SE parts thats in my sig. To turn it into drag car wont take to much for me since i have alot of the parts that i want to install into it. As for building it into a 3/4 chassis car that will be fun. I have the MFR p-port housings already that i'm going to run N/A for now. I want a GT45R to bolt to the engine with S4 turbo rotors, RX8 stationary gears, custom intake manifold, fuel injection and throttle body, water to air intercooler. mmmm c16 boost levels. Out back a narrowed nine 4 linked into the chassis, enough that the slicks are tucked inside of the body. Some thing like my father inlaws 1st gen.

Mr.Snakey 05-27-07 08:25 PM

85 GSL-SE in show room condition, with all racing beat performance parts , turbo'd and bridge ported. with nice rims and tires, a sweet stereo system, and id be in heaven, and about 30 more rx7s to keep me busy for the rest of my life :)

sly-sa22c 05-27-07 08:39 PM

81 SA22c, aust delivered, S5 13BT with W57 (supra box), highflow, bridgey and doweling, Simmons Versas or OMs, custon IRS rear end with possibly skyline type diff setup, rack and pinion steering conversion, custom coilovers, 8" wide tyres F&R, full 6pt cage, Sparco Pro 2000 seats (carbon of course), 3" custom mandrel exhaust straight through with a Rotaflow at the back...

would be ana bsolute MONSTER at the track thanks the the gen 1's inherent weight balance.. not to mention the imporvements given by the IRS.. it'll happen eventually!! (when i run outta rego:p)

MikeFB 05-28-07 12:58 AM

My dream FB...the '83 I just bought, but with drag chassis, n/a 4 rotor, jerico 4 speed.

PercentSevenC 05-28-07 02:17 AM

Hmm, I'm having a hard time thinking of a "dream FB" because to me, my dream FB is whatever one I own, no matter what shape it's in, no matter how much horsepower it has. I love it for what it is.

I guess what I'm saying is that my dream FB is a faded stardust blue '81 S model with GSL rear end, shredded seats, leaky aftermarket sunroof and currently no engine.

That said, I wouldn't mind having a half-bridgeport 13B-REW to drop in it, and some nice wide wheels and coilovers. ;)

I'm doing my dream FB now. It's an 82 GSL I bought new, and am trying to get it looking "new" again.The interior almost perfect and I have it at the paint shop now getting a full meal deal.(about 5 grand). I have a new set of Konigs and tires I will put on when I get it back. I'll post some pictures then.

peejay 05-28-07 12:14 PM

My dream FB is not an FB, it's an SA. FBs are ugly.

1985 GS with GSL rear end, streetported S5 TII motor with S5 N/A rotors, custom side draft fuel injection manifld, S5 turbo running ~8PSi, 2.75-3" exhaust to FD RacingBeat muffler, front mount intercooler would be mounted out of site.

Car would be flat black and I can't decide if it would have a body kit or not. The wheels would be mesh, gloss black with polished lips, in 15x7.

Tinted windows, and my current audio set up with addition of one or two Elemental Designs EU-700s. MY current setup is CDT component speakers powered by an Alpine V12 amp through a Panasonic "GHOST FACE" unit.

My goal is a modest 250-280whp. Car would be a weekend car on the street and a usual at the autocrosses and track days.

Well it would be a FB body vice the SA, with the FC front crossmember conversion, a 13bt with a decent turbo on it of course with the trans, etc. a wide body kit, prefer the JSS but would accept the Mariah, and a nice fat set of watanabes on it, in a nice deep green color. Oh and it needs one of them hot a$$ Latino, or Asian hotties in the passenger seat.

cheers
