Default New guy from Michigan . . .

Hey, everyone.

Just joined after picking up a 1986 base. It only took 34 years. But that's what makes it so sweet.

Hope to learn and contribute.





Many happy miles to all.

Matt

Welcome! Looks clean and all original, that’s special in itself for an 86. Enjoy.

As you may know, the first thing you should do is change out the throttle cam. Best bang for the buck modification. (Doesn't obviously add any torque or HP, but the car 'feels' quicker off the line).

2 guys in Texas. Records from day 1.

Yes, they kept it clean and unmodified. This car was loved.
