Hey 1st gen guys, check out my new car. :)

Well, I picked the car up pretty cheap. Its a long story, but this car use to be my best friends first car. He built the car to about 95%. The car is a 85 GS with a large street port Pineapple Racing 13B out of a n/a 86-88. It has a 48mm IDA, RB light weight steel flywheel, Pineapple 6 puck clutch, GSL-SE gear box, and .444s in a open diff. It has a full Racing Beat exhaust....witch i'm thinking is pretty restrictive. Not to mention, its been lowered, and a front (I believe) RB front sway bar. All in all, the interior is a little rough, but I'm putting it back together. The carb needs to be tuned in, along with needing another igniter.

What I also need is

Red rear carpet in good shape
The inside driver side door handle, and both little plastic parts that sit behind them. (Red?)
The Plastic surround that goes around the ignition switch, steering wheel hub. Red too.
Two working rear window struts
The trim that goes around the top of the wind shield.
The little switch that controls the dash brightness (working please.)
The lense cover just above the rear view mirror.

If anyone has one, and is local, please shoot me a PM.

I'm looking forward to getting this car back on the road, and making some good power. CJ

Sweet score mang. I got some interior stuff from my GSL-SE part out. I'll check to see if I have what you need.

Hey CJ, I see you have maroon interior, that drivers seat looks a little ratty, I have some from my second gen that were stock, the weats are in good shape, I just need to get rid of them. Would you take them for say 20 bux maybe? You would get the driver and passenger, dont have pictures cause they are in a box. So pm me or give me a call at 503 703 8440. Talk to you laters. Tony

I've decided to put dual 2" exhaust, into the RB muffler. Install some larger chokes in the IDA (Its now at 39mm....maybe 42s) and have Rob do some tuning on it. It feels like around 140rwhp to me, and I'd like to see 180 out of it. I did 167rwhp in my old n/a 90, so i feel with the IDA, and the much larger port, it should'nt be a problem. Only time will tell. CJ

I'm not sure what way i'm going to go right now. The car is fairly quite....but I know if I do go to duels, its going to be loud. Its either hp, or a nice daily driver. I can't decide. CJ
