Well, I had it for this past summer and I needed the A/C mostly because of the rainy/hot/humid evenings we get here in the summer. I probably won't remove it.. just been thinking about it.

LINK Barry made me the center cap vinyls too, he did everything on my Miata too. If there is anything you want that isn't on the website he can still make it for you.

Thanks! And thanks for the link

I wasn't really planning on changing the exterior other than the Eibach springs but would swapping in a carbed 13b be too un-original? I would just rebuild my current 12a but that would leave me w/o a car for a few weeks.

 

+1 thats a sweet sticker!

 

nice SA. i have two. SA one turbo and one stock

 

Diggin the decal too. You still got original radiator hose clamps on there. Damn! haha

 

Nice SA. I'm planning on getting an SA/FB myself, and I have pondered the same question. Keep the 12A or switch to a carbed 13B. If the 12A can be rebuilt or is in good condition I'd keep it. If it isn't I'd switch, 13B engines are really easy to get ahold of and so are replacement parts, which is why I'd get one over the 12a which are notorious for being hard to get replacement housings/irons/rotors/etc, also a bit more powerful. Only thing is, is that I don't know what would be involved in swapping, so research would be needed.

My choice in a carbed 13b would be to use a Weber DCOE 45 with stock ports and upgraded exhaust.

 

Thanks

Thanks!

Ha, I guess I do. At least the hoses are new :P

Thanks! There isn't really anything wrong with my 12a other than the small leaks and some smoke out the tail pipe. I would just rebuild the motor I have but I can't have that much down time. Like you said.. the 13b just seems to be a better option, both power and availability wise. Don't know if I'd stay stock ports though, I probably couldn't keep my dremmel away while building the motor lol.

 

I should have a set of NEW Eibach Pro Kit springs in the mail to me by Monday! If they're anything like the Pro Kit springs I had on my Protege I'll love them, I can't wait..

Oh, and taking her out to a meet on Sunday so there will be more pics than you care to look at I'm sure :P

 

Nice fb ,like everybody said,keep its original or sleeper,if you put a t2 engine it' will nut,good luck.

my 2 cent .

 

^Thanks, I plan on keeping the original look on the exterior (which is why I fixed up the Almex wheels instead of going aftermarket) but I still wanna do some work under the hood.. I'll just keep the hood closed

 

Boreddddddness...

 

If your bored, go clean the engine bay or something, old cars are always in need of some kind of cleaning, or may take out the seats and remove the carpet and clean that.

 

Yeah I know, but I can't do those things at 4:30am lol.

 

 

Nice car man, i just bought an 83 GSL about a month ago and loving it.

 

Thanks

I was also looking for a GSL or GSL-SE while shopping around but this one was too clean and I didn't really think anything much better would come by for the price. I just wish I could sell my stupid automatic Protege lol.

 

your fb is super clean good find.

i love the wheels on the rx3!

 

^Thanks

And I did something naughty today... o_O

 

nice looking car, welcome to the club!

Ha, thanks! I do need to post pics since I just lowered her today, the pic above is quite the teaser lol.



As for the girl.. we're no longer together.. long story but it's her loss. You can have her.. :P

 

Nice car! That interior is in quite good shape for being so old. Good luck with it!

 

Thanks! I'm pretty sure most of the interior is from an '84 and the headliner was custom wrapped. It is really nice though

 

That is a nice ride, could you post some interior pictures?

 

Love this picture. I'm not a yellow paint fan, but for some odd reason I definitely wouldn't mind this particular shade.

 

Thanks! This is a pic from this past weekend, it's the only interior shot I have w/o the dash mat in.



Thanks, it's definitely grown on me. I like it better everyday :P


Last one from today's mini shoot
