Just acquired this gem a few weeks ago. She runs strong, & the boost comes on really nice.

Nice :icon_tup:. I don't know what it is, but I'm a sucker for stock body S4 TIIs with the sawblade wheels. It just looks so perfect.

Wow that is a gem!
(Please don't tell me that you stole it for a song).
My one friend bought a 10th AE for $1,000.00, but the guy who owned it didn't know what he had.
Nice car!

Update. I took her to the Dyno on 02-20 to get a base # before the real modding started. Only thing on the car is a K&N FIPK. Was very happy with the #s. 3" turboback soon to come.

Speaking of mountains, just got back from Deals Gap a few hrs ago. I am in Dallas on 278 past Hiram before you get into Rockmart.

Me and buddy try to go to the gap about once a month pending on money. I think that we are going around Halloween for the east coast Mazda meet ( i think that's right ). You should come.
I am a little past the end of 278 after I turns in to Thornton road. I actually work on Thornton across the street from Atlanta Harley-Davidson.

Nice meeting you at The V. Wish I had a chance to see your car. We need to meet up with the other guys and do lunch or something a day.

Nice numbers!
Your baseline numbers were EXACTLY what my 87' tII put down with stock intake and Greddy PE catback a few years ago at Rotorfest. IIRC ambient temps were around 100*
I imagine it was putting down similar numbers to what you're doing now when it blew last month.

Yeah. I suffered Apex seal failure a few months ago. She is currently at home on jackstands with the engine on the floor. Looks as if on of the seals cracked. Will be putting in a streetported motor, AEM UEGO, Haltech E6X, Injectors have been rebuilt & flowtested. I just can't wait to get her back out, but want to make sure she is done proper 1st.

Keep it up!
I just got my car running today, surprisingly it actually idled at 800 rpm w/ 0 miles on it. I'm going to attribute that the Goopy apex seals and resurfaced rotor housings. I really want to do a compression test baseline before i hit the road for the 250 mile trip back home.
Btw do K1's come in 16" ?
