What is the point of stripping tar and laying down dynamat? Or your not stripping tar?
Putting in some big subs?

Today, boosting to ~12-13, burning gas at an unimaginable rate. Having fun!

I just got this car about a month ago, and the previous owner mentioned of having upgraded the suspension to Racing Beat. This is an SA, so I'm not really sure if there was a slight difference between the SA or the FB. Not sure.

I'm not stripping the tar, everything is going to stay the same for the eception of the additional insulation being added to eliminate rattles and vibration that occurs when driving a 30 year old car. Specially when going over railroad tracks here in Florida we go through a bunch of them everyday.

I just picked up the correct 5th gear selector hub and synchro from Mazda so the tranny should be going together this week. I also mocked up the FC radiator and oil cooler to make sense of the possible cooling issues while street driving this monster.
