WHats up, I recently just purchased my first mazda froma guy here in town, he reffered me to the site.

ANyways- my car is a 1985 gs model, the body is supurb condition, im definately going to take some pictures sometime this weekend and post them.

The car has 84k on it, it has a 12a, and my question is- where do i start


ive been searching around the forum archives, but i would like to get some personal feedback on some ideas to boost this sweet peices of metal up to par

So far ive put on new shocks and stuts, and gotten a rb exhaust system.
The emissions were already taken off as well as the ac and cold start, what else can i shed?


I would really like to go turbo, but i dont so much want to do a 13b swap


I have a little mechanical experience, but this seems liek a good car to start and learn on.


Thanks for the help- much appreciated

 

welcome to the forum 1st off! second off if your wanting to run boost you can talk to robert at www.rotaryshack.com his phone number is on here but im sure alex will chime later tonite or tomorrow. he can hook you up with a tubor preped weber if thats the route you are going, or you can get a stirling or yaw modded nikki or a weber either one yo ucan with w/o boost im sure you can get your nkki preped for boost but not sure. if your going for light weight you can get fiberglass hoods and front fenders www.iscracing.net you can shave off a few puonds like that.y oucan relocate the battery to the passenger side rear bin. you might wanna pull your rear bins and chk for rust in the wheel wells there 1st gens are known for rust there. there is lots more you can do just search and you will find what you need if not just make a tread and the guys will help you here!
