SWEET!!! now you have a 13bt to put in your mode 4 82!!!!

 

This is the age of the digital camera. Where are the pictures?

Congrats on the new car.

 

swap the engines, part the 87 out.. lol

 

You traded your -SE for the t2?

 

yes, i did. straight across. -SE for the T2 with mazda CD,cassette,tuner, metal sunroof,boost guage, shift light, it's that light blue outside and light blue inside.
turbo wheels.all of it.. now to call mariah and order the mode six rear fenders, mode five front fenders and mode five bumper/airdam.. i'm not sure about the wheels yet,, how wide that is.

 

No,you were supposed to get just the turbo not the whole TII.

 

Welcome to the 2nd gen section.......well when ya get there.

 

we've been infiltrated by a 2nd gen person....everybody be on the alert and take em out one by one woah too much star craft for me lol

Theres no way i would have traded for any 2ed gen model except a turbo car.
yeah i'm aware how much the 2ed gens weigh as the series went on the cars came with more and more creature features and more 'dead' weight. there is one thing that i noticed first off,,,, road noise or the lack of in the 2ed gen. oh,,i know the 2ed gens are pigs. thats okay with me. when i get done with this T2,, body kit,wheels, and paint it's going to be sweet.. i'm not really hip on the 1st gen wide bodys but the mariah body parts for the 2ed gens change the look of the car that i like. some people love the look of a stock 1st gen, i like how the mariah mode four changed it without going wide body. i only paid $150.00 dollors for the -SE.
to be honest the -SE was/is falling apart, repair one thing and another would fail
and thats not cool. i call that a money dump. while my 82 GS(12a) i trust to take anywhere i can't remember the last time something failed on it. it runs real good, looks cool,and everything works,everything ! and it's pretty fast for 100 horse power. after owning an -SE (13b) and a GS(12a) i wasn't really impressed by the -SE. and the engine is limited as far as the EGI goes. you know the RE-EGI engine is not the first choice to port and for performance and was only made for 2 years.
i still own a 1st gen,, and now a turboII too...

 

Haha.. 3600lbs? My "fully loaded" '86 GXL weighed in at ~2750. A S4 Turbo2 will be approx 100lbs more. Yes, it is a bit more tha a FB, but IMO the extra little things that add the weight are worth it. I think the FC is a much more stable car at speed, and the extra track and wheelbase makes it easier to control and corner harder. Plus with a few choice weight reductions, removing some of the un-necessary "clutter" ( A/C, power steering, etc..) you can get them down to a more respectable weight. My car should weigh in at a tick under 2600, and that includes a full roll cage and my heavier Turbo driveline. With that weight and about 400HP to the wheels, it wont be a car to mess with Turbo2s have some serious potential. Im not knocking the FB, Ive driven a '85 GSL-SE alot, and thought it was a blast, but not something I would be comfortable in with the power I wanted.

 

yeah i was waitin for someone to chime in on the weight thing, looks like ya beat me to it. Mazda did a really good job lightening up the fc... I own both as well!

 

IMO, the 1st gen has a sportier feel to it. I haven't driven one, only ridden in a modded 10AE, and it pulled HARD. I just didn't like the way the suspension felt. It was too soft for my liking. Granted, it is a more stable car at speed, but you have to admit that a 1st gen isn't bad unless you have one hell of a cross wind. An aftermarket front air dam will fix that.

 

FC suspension fr. factory is not soft.

FC is sportier in design as well

but i like 'em FB's!!

 

i've never had the opportunity to drive a T2, but i've been in a 86GXL, and to me.. it just wasnt anything compared to my SE. But.. I dont wanna knock 2nd gens.. And I dont want anyone knocking 1st gens.. Fd's are tight too .. I just love the feel of my SE.. it becomes a part of me.. every input i can sense. I know exactly the breaking point of friction.. I can drift the car anywhere I want.. No other car I have driven has had that much feedback, and thats why i've kept my FB.

a 87 TII was my first 7... and my 2nd was a 88 TII with lots of S5 stuff.... now i have this FB that has yet to run for more than the 1 time where it ran for 15 minutes... and i have a repu thats seized 3 builds of the same motor... yay for me i'm having such a blast :|

i think FC's look a ton better than FB's too... i love the look of a FC... not as much as a FD, but mazda progressed so well thru the generations...
