By far the best bang for the buck.

I'm 6 feet and 155lb.s should help me racing except that my car is fat.

I am on the see food diet plan.

I got a duttweiler neck stocker somewhere too, gotta get some pics. and sell it someday.

Good mod. also, Gut the cat too....

Dang, we have some skinny mofos on here. You tall skinny guys full of hot air or something? I'm 5'6" and weigh 150-155 and I don't have much body fat (29" waist).

Make sure you have the aluminum bumper reinforcements (your car should being an '86) also. This can add up to 50lbs+ for the front and rear.

If it is a daily driver in all weather (rain etc) then slap on some Nitto Drag Radials out back. Traction is key.

I like my SMC alchy kit a lot and got it for $304 in a group purchase.

I'm 5'6", 145lbs and very low body fat. Fast and lean .

Well I already removed the rubber under the cowl

A lil curios but what rubber are we talking about iam trying to picture this in my head but are we talking about the rubber under cowl from the hood iam like a lost lil puppy right now somebody please explain

There is a strip on cowl by the wiper blades that seals against the hood when you shut it. You can easily just lift it off and now you have some escape for hot air in the engine bay. Not much but every little bit helps.

I've heard nittos do really good with these cars. On my TA they were worth nothing...of course e.t. streets barely held up
I think i'll just get some e.t. streets and some extra rims when that time comes. I don't do alot of street racing and would rather just put on the slicks for a night on the town or at the strip every once in a while.

I was wondering if anyone has heard of anybody using the PTE TA series turbos...for example the TA51 or TA52? I was looking at them on their sight but haven't seen anything about them on this sight.

How do you like your power plate?

 

[JoeNational]

The power plate i think is great especially when i installed the heavy duty valve springs, but i didn't just do the power plate alone i did a whole fuel system upgrade and that was invloved with everything else, so its hard to tell exactly what that did by itself..

 

[Dr. Jeckel]

Sounds good....I think I will for sure get one.

 

[JoeNational]

Yeah you should for sure, besided every lil bit helps you know?
