OH Back in a FC!

Well, i'm back in a rotory rocket! Ohhhh it feels soooooo goooooood!!!!!!! I just traded my way modded Suzuki TL1000s for a 1987 n/a with a swapped 90 turbo II motor. It has Motegeis w/Yokohama Pradra tires. Lowered 1 1/2 inches. The motor is tasyfully done with a front mount intercooler and a header with very open exhaust and DC dual mufflers. The interior needs to be dealt with so I will be collecting a collection of black interior parts. the sunroof has several rust hole and I need to find a nice black one. I need a red drivers front fender and a rear plate surround. It came with an aluminium vert hood and s5 tail lights. The car a super fast and has nice tight handling, I totally love it! I will miss my bike, but I will be safer in the long run for my children. Plus they really dig the "Rex" as they call it! I will post some photos soon and update as the car changes.

Welcome Bill!

Awesome car you picked up there. I hope everything turns out well with your project. I also hope you have more fuel than stock flowing through there with that open exhaust you have on it.

Hey ya'll! Sorry i havent been back to load photos. I have stripped the interior to swap in a black set thats not so ragged-out! Have rubbedout the paint and its comin back nicely. I still have an exhaust issue, from the "y" tube back I need to mock-up an extention pipe to each of my DC mufflers. Should I take the car to a muffler shop or try it myself? I just dont have the tools to bend the pipe. i am finding that I need several black plastic trim pieces. The project will never be finished!
