Illinois? Did you know Hugh Ewing? Grey 85 Rapido stage II car? If you knew him then he might have info on the whereabouts. He still keeps in contact with a few people from the midwest regions.

I believe it was all cloth. At least the rear seats were. And yes it had tinted windows. Trip computer, black dash, aftermarket KYB shocks and struts. I couldnt get into the trunk and only the rear doors would open. I probably could of opened everything up, but I didnt feel like digging to much. I t...

Their is a Burgandy 88 auto in the Colorado auto and part yard off of Santa Fe and Quincy. Its complete.

If it's an 85/6 go with the late(r) model master and booster. Well worth the effort. X2. Also check for any foreign objects in the MC. Ive had issues like this in the past where a "seal" that came off the brake fluid bottle was in their are causing issues. Check your vacuum line off the b...

Was that a Miata with lambo doors a few photos back?

Thats great Grayson! I was wondering about that when I was reading the SCCA rulings on bushings. Oh well, I went solid, guess Im going SM!

Ive had stucky PCV valves do that to me too. You might think about checking/replacing that.

Im doing the same. So wheres the best pulling points on a complete motor.

Unless you really need that last inch of space, just slice the tray off even with the ledge, de-burr it a bit, and call it done. I've seen people make a mess, creating all sorts of holes, trying to get the tray removed entirely. Good point. The tray has a little bit of surface rust on it and I want...

Because i want to relocate to the trunk. Thanks for the info guys!

thats better than seam welded. At least I can get at it with a drill. Thanks!

i do not think it is a rapido car... but if you got a better picture of the dealer trunk tag that might help it is right above the xr4ti... only some dealers had those parts.... I am interested into see those books that came with the car... If i were you i would get the car under coated to stop it ...
