the stock trans holds up just fine , until you use slicks, then your days are limited same goes for the rear end, it will work fine untill you run try launching with slicks.. no body twisting with the rotary motor sir!!

as far as liscense plates go, here in Los Angeles we have tons of red light cameras, the cops need your front plate along with your face to prosecute the ticket, so getting stopped for a no front plate ticket on a regular basis is common..
Oh ok. Well, prolly wouldn't be doing a makeover anytime soon. 15 years old...that explains it. But my 83 GSL is almost mint.
