Yes sir! The wheels along with the interior will go a long way towards bringing it to DGRR this year. The RE-Speed goodies are going to have to wait until I have some more time and $$$ to do it ALL at once. I just want my ass in another 7 ASAP!!

Thanks Chad.

Agreed... the gorgeous old school ride doesn't hurt their appeal either.

That's what I like about high-school girls. I keep getting older but they stay the same age

Finally brought home the GS from Chattanooga. It had a fuel leak at the carb fittings. Someone left out one of the crush washers on the banjo going into the carb. Easy.

Next weekend is going to be a busy weekend. I am going to be swapping out the rear axles, rebuilding brakes, and installing the interior bits. I also am going to start stripping the engine bay in preparation for the RB Holley carb kit, radiator and FMOC.

I just ordered new outer window seals (top of the door), new steering column covers, new hatch struts, and some other little things like the copper washers for the oil cooler lines, and a box of clips for the windshield trim. Wednesday I believe I am going to be able to get to Chad's to get the interior parts, and pick up the BBS wheels.

The car has a homebrew exhaust system. Stock exhaust manifold, straight through to a HORRIBLE muffler that sounds like poo poo. Attaching a pic below. That is NOT a dual outlet, but rather a 2 into 1 muffler tip. And notice the super awesome USDM hanger.

Any suggestions for a decent muffler? Lol.

I would agree with the racing beat stuff

djmtsu · 03-14-2011, 07:27 PM

agreed, but 285 for a muffler that does nothing is just too much. might get the universal RB and put a then down on it. or a Borla XR-1.

go for a magnaflow you won't be disappointed the sound is delicious

djmtsu · 03-17-2011, 06:51 AM

Not much to update, just been collecting parts, parts, parts.

Went to Chad's and got all I needed for the interior, still missing a few pieces here and there, but mostly complete now, picked up the BBS wheels too. Snagged some new rear rotors and pads for the disc swap. Got some springs from Charles (ST maybe?) Picked up the OEM parts from Mazda as well. The Holley carb is getting a rebuild, and the manifold is getting powdercoated.

Coming along. This weekend I should have the rear ends swapped, the wheels on, and the interior in. As long as the wife leaves me alone!!

djmtsu · 03-17-2011, 09:27 AM

She was asking for it

And it was partially raped when I got there, more like a gangbang.

Don't forget to call Billy!
