driver side yay love how it sits


the back look at thos meats


caged and gutted you can see every hting i cut away..also the nitrous and the stand alone fule system for the nitrous


driver side view of the car note the gutted doors no sound deading


pic of the lack of dash....its not done yet needs a lil more abs... also had to cut away at the shifter hole to get the 4 speed in there still need to patch the hole


ahhh yes my holley black fule pumps 1 for the fule system and 1 for the nitrous fule system note the 1/2 aluminum fule line


the meats...the only way to hook up


no this is not a drag car..it is a street car.. well at least i built it to drive/race in the street...

 

nice! i too have an 82 gsl but keepin it stock and restoring it to the way it was when it left the dealership lot

 

Nice, No engine shots?

 

....hmmm....I agree with seanrot wheres the engine shot...haha I made a rhyme

 

I love it pat! good work! but i agree where are the engine pics ????

 

ok here are some engine bay pics

holley 650.... nos wet plate system..RB headers to a 3in exhaust... msd SS blaster coils...


FMOC..


dule oil filters...main reason is to hole more oil... batt. relocated to the hatch light weight batt


another view of the interior



if there is anything else yous want to see just let me know i will try to get some more pics stuff like the batt

 

thats gunna be your street car

 

hey would you be willing to go into detail about your ignition system???

 

I was half expecting to see a V8 in there. Since you didnt feed up the engine bay pics off the start. nicely done. Little more weight reduction, pull the plastic panels off the E-brake lever. Also helps to remove evidence of the hidiuos red intereior. That and i would like to see how you mounted the battery and where.

I'm in the prosess of stripping the interior and the un-needed parts in the engine bay outa my 83, got a little more out today. I will be replacing the interior from the doorpanels forward with the grey interior of an 85. That and swapping all my performance parts over.

 

See thats what i wanted to see ;-), good work pat it really looks beautiful. A+++++

 

yes thats my street car. ive been trying to decide if i want to build a track car or not

umm it was 4 ss blaster coils and 2 msd diggy 6.. no distributor cap or rotor but im not sure how well it worked caz the motor had a blown rear apex seal and i dont know if it was like that b4 or if it was from the ignition

i can go into more detail if you would like of how it was wired im really not sure if it was good or bad

yeah i still have to gut a lil bit more here and there ... i will try to get some more pics today when my friend gets off work of the batt and the head light mounts ...
i could not ever put a v8 in my rx7 even tho ive thought about it lol i just couldint do it...

 

lets get some comments on what you guys think

 

I still say grab the turbo out of a semi or a bus and let 'er rip! Sure, it'll be a huge lag but that's what you have the nitrous for, dammit. Feed the N2O and then watch that bad boy roar. Oh, and don't forget the plywood wing and shiny stickers. They gotta be shiny or they won't give you horsepower.


But, with all kidding aside, I like the engine setup. When do you plan on having it all finished?

 

it will be done in time to goto deals gap in april wooooooooot i dont really have that much left to do to it...well it will be driving it wont ever be done lol still need to put it on some corner scales

 

So what're you doing on here then? Go out and make your own. I'm sure some duct tape, chewing gum, and magic marker will work just fine. I love the roll cage, but then again I'd like to have one myself. Y'know what would be cool to have in it? The Helion Extinguisher setup like most race cars have. (I *think* that's the name of it, my memory is failing) That'd be awesome. And, are you thinking of a strut tower brace for the front?

 

na i have a RB strut tower brace.... its not going on that car lol that car does not even have a front swaybar.. dont need the weight. i didint build it for turns or drifter or anything...all tho it would be ez to switch it over when ever i want to

 

Are you going to take some photos with you in action at the track when the time comes around? A nice video would be wicked.

 

yes when the car hits the streets there will be lots of videos... its a street car than will goto the track every now and than...i really didint build it for the track

 

A matching set of front wheels would help the pain my eyes are feeling. That and possily unroll the extra fender material or fender flares for the rear. Also be careful throwing that shifter in 3rd that gauge panel looks like a knuckle buster. Finally love the FLIP FLOPS with those oil filters, nice touch. But all in all she looks like she is going to hall some major ***.

 

there is a matching set for the front.... and the car is going to the body shop to get the rear widened. and 3rd wont hit the gauge panel unless you brake the shifter off is like 3 or 4 inches away from the panel.... yeah thats my friend in that pic with the flip flops on..and yes it hauls ***. with the stocker rims and bald tires it about jerked the fronts off the ground

 

wow thats quite the build up........er, build down

 

what kind of airdam is that

 

its OLD SKOOL from the 80's kAMEI <--- i think thats it.. i dont beleve that they make it anymore

 

i tear

 

how are they going to widen it? you get it weighed yet? should be well under 2000 im guessing. mine was at 2200 with full interior. How's the interior noise compaired to a stock car with a loud exhaust?

Im thinking of doing that to the doors leave just enough material to put the panels back on. I was also thinking of cutting the interior support out of the hood too. Just leaving the outside edge. Figured as long as noone tried to sit on the hood It would be fine.
