So you're getting a S5 T2 then drifter?Hows the resto coming?

Yeah, thats the plan. Apparantly from "Rotormotion" the s5 half-cuts are $2800.

I got a new boot from Mazda, but I haven't welded it in yet. Due to my lack of workshop at the moment, nothing drastic is happening at the moment. I've got to work out what I'm doing about the roof too, cos I can't get a new one from Mazda, so I need to find a non-rusty sun-roof donor car.

Yeah, because we never got a 13B in the gen 1 cars, you basically use either a s4 or s5 engine, N/A or Turbo. s5 is a more popular choice generally, because the engines are a bit better (bigger ports from memory).

??

what about the GSL-SE? series 3 1st gen with a fuel injected 13B

Series 4 and 5 had more power, but the GSL-SE engine should be the easiest to install

That would mean importing, considering we are in Australia. All our 1st gens were 12A's. I am running a S4 13b in my '79.

Yeah, we never got one. All first gens with 13B's over here have them from s4 onwards or cosmo's.
