M50B25 swap into an 85

[pillage6]

Just bought the car about two months ago like that, the guy did the swap very cleanly which is why I even remotely thought about purchasing a custom job plus I knew he would be around for future help.

It's a lot of fun and very torquey but sometimes I really wish I had the original rotary engine, I've had about ten 1st gens over the years and love them. Had headers installed and doing a chip soon, it has a CAI and I might have pulleys installed but that's about it. With those mods I should be over 200hp at the wheels since it dyno'ed 180 already bone stock.

If anyone wants to see pictures of something specific just let me know, thanks!!

Thanks guys it's a fun ride and handles well, currently it has coilovers in front and eibachs in back but I dont know the weight distribution. Will take and post some new pics someone just dented the shit out of the fender about an hour after I got a new geared an muffler installed, I'm frickin sick about it I hate people.

Sorry about that, I haven't been on the computer lately. I can take pictures if you like the battery is what trips me out the most, it's so small and I think it's a motorcycle battery if I am not mistaken.

Yes I live in Jax which is where I met our gracious mod, hope you're doing well man!! I'll try to answer any questions you guys have, still need to get a new fender if anyone has one lying around.

Yeah, I doing good. Ended up picking up those meshies I was telling you about and I almost have then ready to go on...Ended up adding some fender flares to to cover the 14x7 +0 rears an 14x6.5 +10 front :)
