Well I think Shocks are in order for the 86. The original 900-S shocks are not doing a whole lot anymore. I also think an exhaust upgrade is the next logical step for that car. I have a 2.1 liter head that's ready to go on, and while I know it's not a fantastic upgrade, it is an upgrade over the 2.0 head it currently has. Also there is something or other not quite right with the Jetronic system in the 86. Despite me trying to track it down I am still getting this odd hickup when cold. No big deal now, however it's sort of scary driving more than 100 miles from home with a questionable 22 year old fuel injection system, that was not known for it's reliability even when new. Thinking about this, leads me to consider some options...
One thought I recently had was to return the 88 SPG to a "near stock" state, and upgrade the notchback with the parts from the SPG. This would mean the 3" exhaust, Megasquirt, TD04, etc etc. I think realistically, the SPG would probably always be worth more than the notchback in a "near stock" state, and the notchback will always be worth less regardless of it's state being that it's not an original car. Also, the lighter weight and stiffer body is more suited to having high HP & a more sporting suspension set up. not that I intend to sell either, however realistically I think that the notchback would make a better and more fun car as the "high power" car, while the SPG would make a nice "once in a while" car, with stock +1 power. Also I recently got an airflow kit for the SPG, and I think if it had the power it does now, and I still drove it as I do (like an ass) it would be broken in a week :lol:
Opinions / suggestions?
