TX Future Mariah GTU bodykit on this 83

I came across this 83 by luck and now own it so I already made it fast and now I need to make it LOOK fast and the best way i think is to invest in the Mariah Motorsports GTU bodykit for it stronger look to match the roar of the 12A NA beast under the hood.

Is it worth it?
And what sorta tires do i need to get?

HALP?

I'm down here in Texas and I'd love to join a import street crew or car club, I need a new home to race in!

So I pretty much got my hands on a clean 83 and I have a few questions that I'd like to answer, my first one is what model do I have?
The vin # is FB331 / JM1FB3313DO746037

My second question is what bodykits are out there to make my 7 stand out?
I've seen a few widebody ones and I like the ideal of having a first gen 7 that looks as angry as it sounds!

I also need to know what oil do i run?
I live in south hotasballz Texass.

Is there anyway I can upgrade to power steering?

What sorta upkeep can I do to keep it inshape for my hard driving style?
I have a import Mec who I can trust to work on my 7 when it's a major problem but so far I've yet to encounter one, I got this car off a cute 18year old chick who didn't like it since lol it's a woman trying to drive and her dad was the one who did the tune-up on it as well as sticking a ApexI pipe on the back.

I'ma noob at 7's and Mazda but i'm not a noob at street racing and being a common terror in whatever I drive I'll hook up a few pics to show yall what I got for around $900..



I came into ownership of this fine import by luck, This 18 year old Hottie had her Daddy fix it up for her and after a few months she traded it to me for my 98 Eclips w/211K on the speedo no a/c and a spare junkyard tranny. lucky for me the family German mechanic Her problem was it was too fast it has no power steering and the A/c under the hood was gutted, also it was too loud, Her daddy slapped a full 3inch pipework and headers on it, with the hugeliekxbawx coffee can ApexI out the *** end, the good perks was the power windows still work! and there was a cheap *** CD playa and name brand speakers installed It also had only 185k on the speedo and looks way more clean then the Eclips I was sporting, I'm also lucky that my family German Mechanic (The dude is 89 and when he was younger it's rumored he worked for the SS in there HQ motor pool none the less he a cool old dude who knows his stuff) and his crew work on some pretty neat imports from all over the world.
TL;DRI got this car and....

I need to know what model i have the Vin # is JM1FB3313DO746037 Model # is FB331. Mostly so I can find out if I have the LSD.

Also what oil do I need to run in hotasballz south Texass?

The motor starts on the first pop most the time, there alot of things under the hood that are no longer there,as well as on the inside, I went ahead and gutted the rest of the A/c and any other guts under the dash, pull out the carpet and scrap the tar out, for every damn pound I can get outta of it, I hurrd if you down to 2100 pounds in this car you can be pretty fast and right now with all the upgrades I did she runs a solid high 7 secs 0-60MPH with lots of tire spin!
I know what i need to do first and that be new struts and springs, and fo sure fat low pros, a widebody kit offline be something I might do one day.
