i have a couple questions for u fb owners. i might be picking up a 85 gsl convert to a 85gsl-se. the car has the stock gsl-se suspension, a aftermarket ehaust (nothing special), and a 13b bp from a TII minus the turbo. i have seen this car run at the track and it is a low 13 car that is daily driven. with just those aspects alone, what other mods would u do to it? thank you in advance

You've got plenty of power then, I'd concentrate on suspension and brakes. Perhaps some K-Mac camber plates from Racing Beat.

im gonna use it as a daily driver to beat up on rice with, just like my TII was. it will be used just work and home cause i cant take my wife and kids in the car with me. i know how to get by emissions and im thinking ill keep the car all motor. i dont wanna hasle with turbos for a while. BTW the car has no ps and ac, alot of that bullshit was removed. the car was built by a friend that has been working on rotarys since he was like 16 and he's now 28. he also works on helicopter engines so i trust his ****. i know its already a 13 second but is there anythin i can improve that time with? i know weight reduction, but what else by just keeping it all motor and keeping it reliable

sounds like a super nice car. exactly what id want mine to be like.

are u keeping those epsilons?

ohh yeah, your original question, the only thing that id change, if its has TII internals, would be adding NA rotors on the next rebuild for a bit extra compression.

is this car grey, did u post pics from it at the track a few months back??
