I have an '83 GLS Rex that I pulled out of a field. I put a new carb and carb kit with new intake. I put Pace Setter racing exhaust and a header. For christmas I got a set of 4 cross drill and slotted rotors. I just put in a new pair of APC racing seats and switched my carpet and all my panels from that red color to black. I have racing pedals and a shift **** with a nice Grant steering wheel. So far I bought the car for $275 and have put over 4 grand into it. I am getting ready to put in a 12" 1000 watt sub and a 500x2 amp with 600watt tweeters, new headunit, and new infinity speakers all around. Does anybody know about where I can get a nice shortshifter, a spoiler, and a nice bodykit for decently cheap?

 

Cool,

What have you done to the engine? Suspension? Clutch? Ignition? Fuel system to feed that carb kit? What kind of carb kit is it?

Short shifter? Contact Jorx81 via PM and see what he can hook you up with.

 

All I have done to the engine so far is a general tune up like plugs and cap and rotor, air filter and easy stuff to the engine besides for the carb kit. The guy who did it took over a month about it works great. I have a pace setter header and exhaust. When I rebuild the engine I am going to upgrade the clutch, flywheel and throw out bearing. This summer I am putting polyurethane bushings all the way aroundl.

 

any pix? we need pix!!!

 

i wouldnt put poly bushings in the rear (if your doing hard driving ) it makes the rear tipsy

 

poly make a rough-riding car even worse.

 

Don't add body kit, just get a good paint job.

if you want any body kit just do an airdam like the mariah

 

i would yank that pace setter out and put on a racing beat.. and the APC seats? why not be cooler and get some BRIDe seats? mmmm

 

Because I Don't have the money for all high grade stuff. I am 15 years old

 

So take the $ you wanna put into that stereo and put it elsewhere. Your not going to want to listen to tunes when you can hear the sound of your wankel scream. Thats my opinion

 

ttiwwop

 

You already put 4 grand into it? It better be pretty damn nice by now or you didn't look for good deals.

 

where did you get the rotors?

Better yet the money? I have to admit my dad helped me out on getting the car running but no one has four grand laying around, I'm making $6.00 an hour right now at the local car wash as a supervisor and I still can't afford to do one thing to my car, Christmas...grr I hate it.

 

Sounds like IanS. Getting random things out of a field...haha

 

Like I said I got the car out of a field and most of the money has been in the interior and trying to get it to run.
