Greetings one and all,

Just wanted to stop in and say hello. Just purchased a 85 GSL-SE and already have the mod bug.

It wasn't a bad deal and with a 13B that only has 11K on it after being rebuilt seemed a great choice for my son.

I am a noob to the whole rotary engine so I'll try not to ask to many questions without searching first.

A few things that we are thinking about:



Wrapped in 205/55R15 Falken 512s.

We are still investigating shocks as the ones that are on there are worn. The tokico HPs are of interest since we are not really into the salem road course stuff.

It appears to have stock exhaust and have started to look at Racing Beat but boy is that pricey.

I'll keep looking around and hope I can add some value in the near future.

you can get a rb header for cheap and fab up the rest and save some that way.
wider tires though. i have 205's on stock 13" wheels

I'm about to do an after market ecu second gen 6 port upper intake manifold second gen coils and ignitors (all the same units) second gen dizzy thats what the distributor is in the second gen and eventually a turbo. oh and im taking out my fifth and six port sleeves for more top in torque.

welcome to the forums. weve got plenty of info for you to sift through, the archives and FAQ's are a good place to start. (ive been on here for a couple years and i still find myself spending hours upon hours searching)

RB exhaust systems are pricey, but do as kgray said just buy a header and fab the rest yourself, youll save a lot
