looks nice... could use some larger wheels... but since you a 81 that would be tough........ you could try simmons FR16 or FR17 .... but anywho keep on the mods

That is the nicest widebody 1st Gen I've seen in a while. I like the look of wide rear wells and stock front ones. I'm also biased towards the spoiler, as my old '82 had the same unit. I miss my spoiler

Hey, you're near-by! Haven't seen you around. How long have you had it? I didn't realize there was a widebody in the area. Cool!

I've had the car for about 2 years now. The widebody kit is an entirely fiberglass custom molded Pacifica style kit and similar in design to the Porsche 911 Slantnose. The rear spoiler maintains the look of the Porsche 944 turbo's. Many people at first glance think it is some sort of a Porsche, that is until they see the Mazda Turbo emblems. It's got the older carbed 13B from the Mazda rotary pickups, an aggressive street port, low comp rotors, fuel pressure regulator, Cartech Racing turbo kit with the Garrett Rotomaster t-4 and Garrett wastegate. It's set at 12psi boost right now and I think that's fast enough. 5 speed with Centerforce stage 3 clutch. The car weighs less than 2,000 lbs because of the fiberglass and i have removed some useless interior components such as the carpet, sound deadening material, rear seats, radio, speakers, etc. Cartech rates this setup to be well over 350HP although I have yet to get the car dynoed. When i finally had a chance to take the car to the strip it was towards the end of the season and they were doing some track construction work and they only let me run a 0-60 which i ran 3 times. My best was in 4.3 and i hit that just as i was shifting to second gear. Rear tires are 245 50 R15's and the fronts are 225 50 R15's though on next tire change i might go a little wider,maybe so they stick out of the fender wells a little bit.Lol.

**** i almost forgot...custom cartech 3 inch exhaust (no cat) connected to a ricey Arospeed T-304 stainless steel bomb style muffler. (Welded it on myself) Sounds like nothing else when I shift at 8,000.

Sounds like a serious piece of machinery! I'll have to hook up with you in the spring to check it out.

What track did you run at? NYIRP in Leicester?

I should take some recent ones but there's nothing but snow outside. At least the car is inside in my garage nice and warm.


*Edit*-Looking at my posts from 4 years ago made me realize how dumb I was. Disregard my stupid posts.

One of my favorites. The kit isnt over aggressive with the whole wide body thing. Plus cartech turbo kit, old school rocks my face off. Nice 7

i agree, it has very mellow fenders, which accent the stock lines, not exaggerate them
