no joke man, I'm not a fan of two-tone but your car looks sick. I can imagine 380hp in that car. Good luck man.

We have a real battle going on here!

Since others are listing their mods, I spose I could as well. It's no power monster, just the basic stuff to make it go/woah better. It's certainly no garage queen, as I don't have a garage.
The car is driven almost daily, and autocrossed frequently. In fact, twice in the last 2 days, which is why I haven't been online all weekend. It's also been around a few road courses over the last few years.

1983 GS
Stock intake & carb, topped with a ReSpeed Rotor design air cleaner (no longer offered, 1 of 5? made)
RB header to stainless pipe and muffler
FC FMOC
GSL rear diff and rear discs
Stainless braided brake hoses
Custom front strut bar
Ground Control coilovers with Eibach racing springs
15 x 7 Ronal wheels, wrapped with 205/50-15 Kumho Ecsta SPT tires
213,000 miles
Working AC and cruise (both very handy for summer road trips)
Glass moonroof

The paint and interior have been redone, but both could use a little more attention. It has a decent Sony CD player, to help keep me entertained, when I bother turning it on.

I believe the nomination thread is the place to post your mods.

It does look like me and lwnslw have a battle going on. Just like the thread suggest, FB vs FC!

no one looks at the nomination threads after the voting thread is up, right?

I wanna see this till the end!! What a battle

Good luck to you...:driving:

No one likes a classic vert .... :(

I might be able to get more money on resale though after you guys trick your rides. :rofl:

j/k - I hold no grudges.

I voted for you John! Can't wait to see the Vert in person though.

Ooops, thanks for vote Nic. But you're likely to see the red 7 at VIR. That's the one my daughter is driving down. Don't know if I can convince the wife to drive the black 7 or not. Plus burning three tanks of gas is heavy now days.

Thanks, looks like it's over though. congrats

yea it seems that lwm... has taken the lead.

In a last pitch effort to sway some voters......

Its funny, over 400 views and just a handful of votes.

I feel like I am letting down my FC heritage but DAMN thats a nice FB!!!
GREAT nominations..

good luck to everyone.

That's a good looking 20b FC.

I'm still undecided on who to vote for. While my heart says to go for the turbo FB, 20B's have a certain appeal. Boosted 20B's, on the other hand, are the stuff woody's are made of........


I dunno about anyone else, but I've never felt right voting for my own stuff.

I realize that I messed up on setting the close date for the poll. So it will stay open until the end to give people a fair shot at voting. Use the extra few days to decide!

I think we have a clear winner.. WOW..

I am going to post a few pics to keep this thread alive....

My Rear end...
http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/m...w/IMG_5953.jpg


Here is the front swaybar/tension rod mounting point
http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/m...w/IMG_5643.jpg



and my Front TII conversion... rears are also TII but the front look better..:rofl:
http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/m...w/IMG_7258.jpg

BTW.... This was during my build up. I am sure if I get under there now it will require some touch up do to th 2K plus miles added to her since completion. Either way, I know it was done....:)

Joe

wow just beautiful

lwnslw, is your coil spring just sitting on metal? I don't see a rubber spacer in there at all at the bottom.

btw: now you can tell all your friends you beat a 20b :) congrats

There never was a rubber isolator under the spring. Only at the top.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
As mentioned ... 1st gens don't have rubber isolators on the bottom perch only on the top where it meets the body.

As for beating a 20B..... I feel priviledged...:icon_tup:

I think it may actually be a close race depending on how much power you are putting down... I dynoed at 383 HP to the wheels and weighed in at 2200lbs...
The one time I took it down the track it posted a 13.32 @ 117mph. lots of wheel spin and street tires size 215/40/16. If I get traction I think it may be an 11 sec. ride...:driving:

L8R

Poll doesn't close until tomorrow at 8PM, so no "winner" yet, though this one looks all but locked up.

dammit only 3 votes! lol ...nice job LWNSLW...you deserve it. badass car mang!

I am damn suprised u only got 3 votes that is one SEXY FB...

Thanks....
It's been a long road....

lwnslw...

PM coming at you!

I agree, nicest I've seen in awhile.

PM sent back...:icon_tup:

Thanks to everyone who voted for me. I appreciate it.
Also, thanks to everyone who was in the running. In my eyes we are all winners.:icon_tup:

Thanks
Joe

Ok I voted fro lwnslw... SEXT FB .. good job and congrats.

Congrats lwnslw. That is a nice car.

I guess a few people felt love for my car, due to the action shot. I feel priveledged just to get votes, against this kind of quality competition.
