RE: I'
just got back, and i'm glad to say
i'm the proud new owner of a nasty *** 86 LX.
moonroof, 95 engine, 95 trans and x-mem, and 95 rear, ac/smog delete, 245/50 Nitto 555r's on ponys, 2 1/2" cowl, bbk mid with flow40s...
BRAND NEW FULL black interior down to the freakin plastic rivets, including 140 speedo. custom autometer panel under the radio(guy i got it from has been doin body work 12 years, he's good)
i'm scared to sit in this car, seriously. its that nice inside.

RE: I'm back, with a brand new pony.
well its in my driveway, thats a start...
the rain today is killing my hopes of tearin up my neighborhood. its freakin pouring.
anywho.. here's a list of whats done to this car. it was setup as a twin turbo dragster in florida, and has been converted back to streetable.
Full 95 driveline, running on the 86 SD system.
Nitto 555R's 245/50 in the rear, with rolled lips for slicks.
UPR uppers with battle boxes
KYB 9ways in the rear
Full brand new black interior from carpet to dash to console, including 2 nice-*** Summit buckets, a 140 speedo, and a custom 2pod gauge cluster under the radio.
Pro 5.0 shifter
Full MSD ignition
ac/smog delete, with powersteering relocate
Some kind of prostreet FPR
full length subframe connecters
only 3 things i need to take care of before i can romp on it
1.) smoke. hard accel and downshifting proves to be a problem for the people behind me.
2.) major pinging. hard accel sounds like Jiffy pop.
3.) tranny x-mem. when the 95 T5Z tranny was put in, so was the cross member. Whoever put it in, didnt do it straight. the driveline angle isnt even close, but a torch and welder should take care of that, i believe. i havn't even seen the screwup yet.
