Glad your enjoying them! hope the tires werent to old.
Sorry I havnt returned the emails. been offline for the last week..
Hit me up if you need anything else.

No worries man about the emails after getting some advice from people here I was able to get the wheels to fit perfect and the exhaust/strut bar went on with no problems. Those tires are working just fine as far as I can see haven't had any rain yet to see what they act like in the wet. An example of how well they grip, I can race the I405 and 85th street on ramps at 55mph easy here a link

of what they look like, pretty fun as you can infinitly go around them and they all prolly have ten degrees banking, the one on the lower left is prolly the fastest. God the level of grip these tires offer is amazing and I can't wait to get it to the track as I am so close to being ready :)

Thanks again for the sale Micah have you sold any more parts? I might be interested in the illuminas fives way for the rear

Steve what did you do to your center caps, they look way nicer them mine, mine are rust color and look like ugly nubs and was thinking of painting them.

That looks good. Looks a lot like my car, aside from the fact that my wheels are black, as are the windows, and I don't have the pinstriping. Of course, mine also sits lower. What springs you running?
Yeah, mine is red, with the glass roof too.......

I have rb springs front and rear, and tokico blues front and rear, rb sway front and RB adj sway in the rear with the poly bushings they come with and a cusco strut tower bar and a four point roll bar which helps stiffen the chassy a lil also.

I have been tossing the idea of tinted windows but with the sparco seats sitting so low inside especially the drivers seat which is about two inches lower then the passenger side and the five point harnesses make checking blind spots almost impossible, I just don't think that I could be a safe driver if I added the tint to make things that much more difficult on me while freeway driving.

Cool. Nice setup.

your fenders rolled ?? I like it, paint looks better then mine

whats your suspension set up ?

Rogue_Wulff 08-04-06 02:35 PM

Front fenders may be lightly rolled, if so, was done when I got the car.
Suspension consists of older Tokico springs, KYB GR-2 shocks/struts.
Suspension/tires/wheels/paint/stainless exhaust/redone interior were all done before I got the car. I found it sitting in an impound yard, and picked it up for $500, drove it home.
Only items I have added, Sony cd player, RESpeed Rotor design air cleaner lid and glass sunroof, along with 14K miles. Engine seems to have been mildly ported..........
Yeah, I got lucky as hell...........................

Rogue_Wulff 08-04-06 02:41 PM

Oh yeah, also added a FC oil cooler, since it is an '83. I had to get rid of the beehive........

notveryhappyjack 08-04-06 06:46 PM

nice buy, mine only cost me 500 too, bought it off a dude I worked with and it was in good condidtion. I have put a bunch of goodies on it since I got it stock

851stgen12a 08-05-06 10:01 AM

Just let me know what you want.

As per the Center Caps for these Koseis= Non available=Shit.
Rattle Can is the only way to get close to that look.
I installed new Rotors,Pads and Calipers.
I used Rust Tough Enamel #RTA 9213 Aluminum w/ a Hi Temp Clear Coat over the Top and so far so good.
I took 1 of the Rims to a Sherwin Willaims Store and thats how we Color Match them perfectly.
Make sure you use @ least 3 coats of Paint and 2 coats of the Hi Temp Clear.
Did it over a 3 day period so there where no runs.

notveryhappyjack 08-06-06 02:58 PM

those look good, what did you use to clean the center caps/brake rotors with ? -mine are pretty rustic looking
