Favorite First Gens?

I liked my 82 GS better than my 85 GSL-SE. The SE seemed "heavy" even though is only weighed about 100 lbs more.

well you dont have one

I would kill for one of them I am actually considering on taking myne and getting it stamped like that.

i wonder who would actually do custom lovering. I had an isuzu impulse JR turbo (1988 model year) with louvers in the hood. Obviously, someone had to do it.

Street rod builders/shops still do it.

Whizbang · 09-12-2008, 09:29 AM

ill have to investigate some options. I think the JDM hood is little over the top with louvering though.

This is our MK1, 1980 34000 miles from new.
Its a limited edition TWR after a british racing team called TWR.
Car is mainly same but had body kit, wheels, steering wheel and seat upgrades, mainly all cosmetic.

Couple of pages from the brochure

^Links don't work.

You also can't forget the Pacific Avatar as well (far from my favorite, though).

My personal favorite is, was, and always will be Directfreak's FB. Go figure I'd be planning the same swap into my FB.

For some reason I can't find any pics of his FB though. Tornado Silver, 13B-RE swap, GSL-SE.

Always was, Still Is, Always will be . . .
