orange '85 GSL-SE
 

Here are some photos I have of the car. I will get more when it actually arrives here in 2 days. So far what I know it has is: RB headers/intake, aftermarket carb (can anyone identify which one?), aftermarket cat-back, 17" Fittipaldi wheels (too big?), front and rear springs/struts also I believe, and rear seats.

I will get some better photos with my camera when it arrives. I also may sell those Fittipaldi's in favor of some racing 15x7" wheels a friend of mine has but I'm still not sure about that.

that looks like an AWESOME car!!! i am so very very envious of you!! how? where? how much, was it?? man im jealous. if it runs as well as it looks, that will be a dam good car. as soon as you get your hands on it, tell us more!!

Will you take a picture of the throttle linkage for me?

Well the Pics don't have Rear Seats.
Carb looks like a Dell'Orto:bigthumb:

I see that he also removed the windshield and window black paint from the trim pieces and buffed them out,,,nice Tennessee big orange car,,,,,,,,,,,,

To answer some questions:

1) It didn't cost me anything really, except for transport costs and soon smog and registration costs. I traded it straight across for my '71 RX-2 to a guy in FL.

2) Throttle linkage photo, why? Just curious.

3) I don't think it's a Dellorto. I had a Dellorto on my RX-2 and it was a little different. I'm thinking it's a Mikuni or Weber. Guess I'll know for sure soon enough.

4) rear seats - can you normally see them from the rear hatch area? I was told it had rear seats but maybe not. Not really a huge deal either way.

Mike

I believe thats a Weber carb.

I want to see the throttle linkage, it looks different than mine. I like the looks of that one better.

Damn Smeagol, Nice. You'll be expected to take me for a ride in this bad boy. Course, letting me drive it would be nice too! LOL

Chris

the rear seats fold down when not using them.

I think your right. I have Picture of an Dell'orto setup.
After Zooming in on it and Your Pic, they do look different.

So to answer your question,

...I have no Idea:confused:

I say Weber.

i've been eyein that page for too long wanting a weber...

Don't get it from Mazda Racing. They suck.

looks great. i was actually thinking about painting mine the same color. only i would keep the window trim black instead of crome.

very nice car but does everyone with a 1st gen break the lil plastic cover around the steering column my friends FB has the same problem red interior too but anyways great car have fun with it :)

Man, took me a minute to figure out what the little logo on the hatch is, I took it into photoshop and flipped it around, and realized it says "Rotary Inside". I was thinkin...... intel inside?

Wow! That color is amazing!

Ah, Rotary Inside. Thanks, I was wondering what that said.

So you traded that RX-2 for it, I remember when you had that thing on ebay, real nice shape, but I think you got the better end of the deal. Wish I could stumble across a sweet deal like that (wanna trade for a red 2nd gen?).

I thought the same thing, but my friend was real determined and wanted my RX-2 badly. There was no rust on the RX-2 which I guess is somewhat rare over there since most of the older cars come from around the east cost areas and are badly rotted.

Trade for a 2nd gen? Probably not unless it's a TII or GTUs. I want to at least get the car first before I do anything. Also, no offense or anything but red is my least favorite car color.

Mike

It does not qualify. Too bad, cause I'd like a tasty orange treat.

ooo sexy :)

cheers'

Nice color! The rims are nice too. Good luck.

It's still not here, hopefully tomorrow or the next day.

:cool: NICE car! :cool:

What kind of seat covers are thoes? Or are they custom seats?
