CA New member from California

Hi rotary world. My name's Kevin, and I just purchased a clean '85 GSL-SE as my new daily driver. It's been about 10 years since I last messed around with rotary power, so this is a long-overdue return for me. No mods yet except for a K&N panel filter and ditching the silver dad-rims that came on the car for something nice and black, though I have a full RB exhaust in the mail as I type this, and planning more. Hope to dyno the car at each point starting from it's current stock configuration throughout all the mods as time goes on to track what different things are actually good for power wise. We'll see what happens.

Nice to see another '85. I'm a new poster here as well. Am jealous your '85 is getting a new exhaust as mine could use one, I think. It's noisy underneath and a bit fumey when engaging the choke. Looks to be in great condition.

Thanks guys! She really is crazy clean, I have to believe it's because it's always been garaged and didn't live in the valley with all the heat. While I'm going to take good care of her, a camden supercharged turbo2 swap is in the works as we speak, because the exhaust wasn't enough.

And yes, very well spotted! That's a superformance GT-40 MKII stickin' it's nose in the picture, my other baby..........
