Mods are nice, a running car would be better..
It's all about Time. And the past 45 days, I've had none.

I got a 78 or 79, dunno, rego'd as 78 but not sure, no badges or options, so I'm guessing its the base model.

although it is a japanese import, and all in pretty good condition

no real mods yet, later model '82-ish 12A and a decent exhaust is it. oh and japspec FC frontseats, and the loveable 4.44 diff 'burnout spec' diff gearing

'84 GS - Original silver paint, second owner, Infinity speakers and Pioneer head unit, soon to have a K&N air filter, mech. secondaries. I'm slowly turning it into a J-spec GT Turbo (started with power windows, eventually going to get; 12AT equipment, -SE suspension, axle w/ LSD, and wheels, appropriate badging, and possibly a rear seat).

Neither. Black Leather wasn't available those years. I don't think black leather was available until the FC's.

You're right. The only black that was available was vinyl or cloth.

Oh who has one they want to sell..i need one bad.

I've never driven or rode in a 1st gen, how similiar are they in handling to the 2nd and 3rd gen?

I'm thinking about selling my 87 300turbo and buying a white 1st gen. The 300 is faster but i think the rx will handel better and be more fun to drive.

That sounds like a GS. The S didn't have power mirrors. Do you have a maplight and a hatch light?
