WE3RX7 is on a distinguished road
Default 13bre-fb

I wanted to share these photos with the FB community. This is 2GSLSE's 1985 GSL build. He brought the car out to my place this weekend after picking it up from final fabrication from Speed1 and our very own TitaniumTT. Those guys deserve the highest credit on this car. Its a very unique and helluva clean car.

It was literally "completed" earlier in May and is still undergoing break-in, more tuning and refinements. Its a 13BRE 9.4c rotors with very mild portwork by 2GSLSE. Apexi RX6 turbo system, custom VMIC, magnaflow exhaust, Haltech PS1000, and much more... I'll let those guys chime in if they want.

Once everything is buttoned up this thing will be a monster street car. Its so smooth! On wastegate (9psi IIRC) it made 336whp with a goal of 415-420whp on 15-16psi.


ANYWAY.. here are the pics. I'll post more up later, but I just though this car had to be shown off. TTT's work at Speed1 is top notch and 2GSLSE builds a solid motor...

My current one-liner for this car is "Its not as violent as the FD... but it's going to be"..

From what I can see it looks good, with good numbers. Any pics of the rest of the car?

The car has had traction issues already and has had a steep learning curve around town pulling off of side streets I have been used to a 12A with Ca. type emissions (slow as crap)now I touch the throttle in 1st its instant boost/tire spin/tach in the case (lots of fun!!!) second gear spins some depending on pavement type and temp, with any luck I will be able to spin them at 60mph when I pass someone LOL...

The car will always be a street car with ALL of the creature comforts installed A/C,cruise control, power everything and now with the power is should have been born with.

Brian, when you give it a good test drive let me know what you think.

I'm so happy the Cruise Control worked, that's awesome!
