Well, I took last week off so I could get my car in better working condition....so here's what has been done....
86 GX
5 spd. man. trans.
Silver (J5)
13B w/ 3MM Seals gotten from Rotary Dynamics in Ontario, Canada
(4000KM on engine)
I got new KYB AGX's from K2RD.COM and installed them w/ stock coils. Result, incredibly more confortable than worn shocks, and adjustable...
Secondly I installed a Bonez Race Pipe I got from 1Revinn7....this **** kicks ***, not loud and GIVES YOU MORE POWER THAT YOU CAN FEEL. My cats were so clogged up it felt like I gained so much power. While doing that I also opened up my 5/6 ports which I believe didnt open b4.
I also rebuilt the calipers, and changed the 2 discs in the rear and installed my sound system after that....
Sony MP30 HU (read mp3 and all cd-rs)
Infinity 6.5" Reference Series (180W) in the rear towers with custom adapters.
Alpine 300W AMP mounted underneath the carpet beside the drivers seat.
Pioneer IMMP 350W 10" sub, enough for a REX....
and still uses the stock speakers in the front ....3" or so 25W cardboard speakers....
This car gets better by the day and is now my baby, its the most enjoyable ride I've ever driven with my Jeep Wrangler right below it....and I'm not talking about autox'ing in the traffic :P

Well, you can't have everything. You can't have good exhaust flow without more noise, etc.
