an apex seal blew in my 90 gxl and i was gonna go turbo but its not worth it.
i priced everything out for parts and it wasnt bad but there is a crapload of work that has to be done just like everyone says.
everybody i talked to who did it said not to.
just buy a T2 with a blown motor or somethin

well, as far as the work goes, I am willing to put the time into it, plus i have a place i can take it to and the guy said he would do the work for free if i could just get my car club to put his companies name on our cars, so yea i can get free work now :bigthumg: As for all the parts, i can get them cheap through the army, another :bigok: but I found a wrecked 3rd gen in a junk yard, the only prob is the front right fender is banged up and the owner didnt want to full with it, i can buy for 500, no rust, engine only has 47k on it, so i might just say screw the 2nd gen and go for the 3rd. But I want to have a collection of all 3 gens one day, I will have it, oh yes, i will. Then maybe spring for a rx8 when the turbo appears that is!
