I could ramble on for a bit about my history with these cars, but I'll just post a few pics and give a quick rundown.First up is my 83 GS (GS is basically the middle of the road for the US cars, at least in 83. Had a few options, but no LSD or rear disks, and the sunroof was an extra - which this one has) I got this car from a junkyard in 2002, it had no wheels on it and barely ran. The good thing is that it still had a valid title, and most of the car was complete. $300 later and it was mine. Initial plans of just getting it running took a backseat, and it sat for about 2 years. In late 2003, early 2004 I tore it down to a shell, and began teaching myself bodywork, welding, metal fabrication etc and started restoring the car. (I don't have any in progress shots on this computer, but can get some if anyone cares) I also decided to go with a black/white "panda" paint scheme (car was originally sunrise red - RH) I registered and insured it on February 6, 2006 and have been daily driving it ever since (in the nice weather that is) It is a 12a, with a Racing Beat exhaust, has tokico shocks and Eibach springs along with some other minor "bolt on" mods, nothing too crazy, just a fun solid car.
Next is my first car (technically not, but I consider it as such) an 83 S (s is the base model for the US cars) which I got back in 2001, used it as my daily driver through High school and much of college, and in 2006 (once the panda FB was done) I took it off the road, tore it apart and started restoring it. At that point all the road salt had done a number on it, and a bunch of metal work and patching was needed (again no pics here, will get some) A few months into the build I came across a good used JDM S5 T2 engine which had the ECU, wiring and transmission all for about $1000. I had some extra money at that point and figured then was as good a time as any to dive into a swap, since the car was already in pieces. Well, the car has gone through many iterations since then, but as it sits now it's got a FC front subframe (crossmember, steering, control arms etc) the S5 T2 engine/transmission (which came with a knighsports turbo!
) 3" downpipe out to a racing beat muffler, T2 brakes front and rear and BBS wheels from a FC vert. Theres a bunch of other stuff done to it as well, but thats the major stuff. I repainted the car black (again an RH sunrise red car) but honestly have regretted that since day 1. This spring I will be re-shooting it Red.Anyway, here are a few pics!
Only kidding, it really fits the car perfectly, looks brilliant. The black one looks tough, I like the front airdam arrrangement on it. Oh, and the engine, obviously
