Hey from Atlanta!!!

Hey guys I picked up this car yesterday. Im new to this rotary thing and most experience with Hondas. I had a MR2 turbo and that was nothing but a waste of money. I wanted to get used to a rear wheel drive car because all my track experience has prodominantly been in a fwd cars and most race cars are not so heres the car.










The one thing about the car is Im not sure about what all has been done to it. It has rear disc brakes but I believe its a GSL but I dont know what the lug pattern is. So it will be a learning experience. The guy had an extra engine that needs rebuilding so when I get a chance Im going to try to take it apart and see what is what. I also plan on changing the muffler soon because the one on the car is rusted through.
Any thoughts from racers and otherwise on proven products would be appreciated.

Beautiful car, and it looks to be race ready. I'll bet you paid a pretty penny for it. All GSLs came with rear discs and a posi rear end. If the engine is a 12A, bolt pattern should be 4X110, 13Bs have a 4x114.3 PCD. If it has a 12A, I have an extra set of 13X8 Revolution wheels that need a new home.

Car looks great. What part of Atlanta do you live in? We don't have that many trees in my part of town. :-)

I appreciate your help. It looks like I have the 4X110 bolt pattern... kinda sucks. I really wanted to get the old school Volk GTU wheels. They looks sooo sexy but thanks. i may do a five lug conversion and get bigger brakes while im at it. Im on a college student budget so it may take a while lol. I payed 2700 so I dont feel like I paid that much considering all it has...

Thanks. The pictures are actually taken at the guys house in Macon, and Im going to school in Milledgeville. But home is Suwanee. We dont have that many trees in my area either... Just a bunch of red clay.
