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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

My dream seven

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

kenn

Oh wait whats that, it must be my dream car almost finished!

Now wheres the Girl?????
