It will work. It will NOT work. Pick an answer. I just think if your going to go through the trouble of customizing a turbo setup for a 12A, just pick the turbo that you KNOW will work.

So, guess who I ran into today. Dave Meyers. I was leaving WalMart when he walks up to me complimenting the FB. I invited him to come to the meet tomorrow, but we'll see.

thanks

Noooooooooooooooooo, even for a 12a that turbo is pathetic!!! if you want a small turbo then you absolutely can't beat the bang for buck of using a stock TII turbocharger

Sam I do not have the intake you are asking about haha, i'm actually not a fan of webber's. once i made the switch to holleys back in the day i'll never go back. best in both worlds of power and drivability. better fuel mileage too!

and if i find a gsl-se oil pan... i'm gonna need it for my own project

I'm looking for an SA dome light lens. Just the clear lense that snaps over the light fixture. Mines seen better days and the little plastic tabs that snap it in on the front side have broken off. Actually its been that way for years but I had it glued using clear silicone but I disturbed it playing with my mirror. I used rubber cement this time to hold it in

Anyways, looking for an SA dome light lense, has to be from a 79 or 80, the FBs are different. Bring it to the meet if your coming today.

Great turn out for a dreary day Good to see everyone again and to meet the new faces I haven't seen before. I hope we didn't lose anyone on the way to my place. Traffic kinda split us up a bit. Anyone who didn't come with us missed a demonstration on how NOT to drift on a wet road Too bad noone had video rolling for that.

Someone try to remind me to bring the rotor stickers to the next meet. Those that came over grabbed some as I forgot to bring them.

Lets see more pics from others. Mine are kinda lame. Hopefully it will be sunny next meet and we can get a group car shot and car/owner shots at the Lake or somewhere picturesc. I don't think we have a group members shot of all of us yet anywhere in here.

Nah no group member photos yet... Maybe in january?

And you recovered from that pretty badass/007 style too haha


Great meet, and we got a new face. I forgot his name though, since I am not real good with names. What was it, 10? 11 cars?

Also, I will be in need of a new muffler sooner than I thought. I got on the brookshire on ramp and nailed it in third, and when I let off I hear a nice BOOM and some awesome flamage. Looked like I had my hazards on! I guess I shouldn't have been oogling what MSP muffler Dave

You can have it back for your car if you need..

Yeah once I kicked the clutch I knew it wasn't going to turn out the way I planned it. Soo when in doubt gas it and finish the spin. Don't forget the brakes before you roll backwards into a ditch Good fun, but that's what I get for trying a different technique.
