TheMantaKeed Posted November 23, 2013 Posted November 23, 2013 Hi, I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to join, I've got an '86 GT/E Hatch in White, which I picked up just before last Christmas, it's bog stock apart from a 4 head lamp conversion, longlife stainless exhaust and some ebc disks. I've got big plans for it, I've already bought an Eaton M90 blower, 40mm lowering springs & Gaz adjustable shocks, I will also shortly be buying a bigger brake upgrade- you know, the usual Sierra XR4x4 discs and mk3 Cav sri calipers. I've already taken it down the drag strip to get a baseline and it runs consistent 17.7 @ 78mph, yeah I know it's really slow! After I've fitted the supercharger, gas flowed the head, fitted a bigger cam and an exhaust cut out,I'm aiming for 200hp. Then I'll be back at the track looking for 13 second quarter mile times. It's not just a track car, it's my daily driver. Quote
