Pretty sure I broke all the rules of buying your first rotary, but anywhoo, it is a 1983 and I believe it is the GSL based on how both wheels spin on it when I turn the driveshaft and how it has a clear sunroof. It has some issues but I'm just looking to get it roadworthy and have fun. Does anyone other than Racing beat sell lowering springs or just springs in general?

 

Welcome! Would love to see pics of the car!! The GSL included a rear wiper, rear disc brakes, power windows and mirrors, electronic tuning stereo, aluminum wheels, and sunroof. A GS will not have power windows, rear wiper or a disc brake rear end. The GS could be had with sunroof however.

 

well, yes it will. now if ur checking for if it has an lsd rear then u need to get both rear tires off the ground, turn one, and the other turns the same direction.

and yes, get some pix if it. any idea on the history of it? what plans do u have when u say, get it road worthy, i'm guessing it's not currently running?

 

It is running but the driveshaft was binding and the rear wheel bearings are bad. Probably gonna do a rebuild as I'm not necessarily in a rush to get it running and would like to learn about how to work on it.

 

Got my first ticket in an 83 GSL. Was a brand new car my girlfriend's parents bought her. She was hot and I was stupid.

I was doing 110MPH on I-65 at 1AM and passed a state trooper that didn't have his radar on. I didn't see him when I passed him, but he followed me for 2 miles doing 70MPH. That's back when the speed limit was 55.

It cost me $125 (in 1983 money), and I felt lucky at that. Thanks for the memories. LOL

Enjoy and keep 4 wheels down!

 

 

Found out the car IS a GS with a GSL rear so would I be ok just using a GSL prop shaft?

 

You can use the GSL driveshaft without issue. Your car also looks to have S5 seats. Nice!

 

Looks good
