I bought my 85 GSL-SE from a former member of the forum and a close friend of mine.
It has these mods right now:
Bonez intake
Bonez stage 1 brake upgrade
Steel braided brake lines
Jacobs FC1000 ignition
Jacobs coil packs
Tokico blue struts
RP springs (cut rear)
RP exhaust
Mazdaspeed short shifter
Cusco strut bar
Suspension Techniques adjustable rear sway bar
Sus-Tec front sway bar
Motegi Trak-Lite 15x7 wheels (still have em but are for sale)
Enkei EK32 14x6 wheels (current, no new pics with the new tires)
Its been a maintenance monster so far. I've replaced a lot of things on it and am still in the process of doing so. Just finished with the shocks and struts. Next I suppose I need to change the brake and clutch fluids, they're black.
One of my favorite cars though, I'm really loving it so far. Tell me what you guys think.

i would love to, tell me the price and see if i still like them as much :P j/k, limited funds right now, i've still got to re do the suspension bushings and e-fan first. i love black wheels, i've thought about just painting my + wheels black because i like the stock wheels i think they're sexy

IMHO, the flat camo hood doesn't mesh at ALL with the gloss red, maybe repainting straight black for the cheapo way or if you have the scratch, getting it painted to match the rest?
Love the new wheels tho! Both those and the black were sexeh, I'm thinking about dropping some flat black 5-Zigens on my gunmetal -SE
