the shape (at first) strikes me in the face like a goddamn ufc fighter.

but, as you say, throw some 15 inch knockoff rims on it, and lower it considerably, and it will be decently clean.

dont listen to biker.. about the 323, hes just too lazy. 323 has a catalog of aftermarket support.

throw a bp in there and you have a really peppy car...for under 500$ you could do it! let me know if you got any questions! and BTW the wheel pattern is 4x114.. :D

its an '88 so its almost old school material!

Got some news for you.

WELCOME!!!!!

You're car falls into the "grandfather clause" of guidelines to be at the OSJC meets. That body style was made between 1985 (which is our cut off year) until 1988. So you just fell in on both sides of the spectrum. It doesn't look true old school, but we do stand by our requirements.

You know what else this means? You can bring that shit to the Road Atlanta meet and take it out on the track AND you can bring it to the 4th of July Festival.

What do you think of that???? Huh? Huh? Huh? Yeah that's what I thought.

It is an awesome car, too. And I would definitely throw something a bit deep on there. Personally, I would go with a 13" deep dish panasport type wheel with 215/50-13 on them. SHEEEEEET!!

Later, QD.

thanks for all the comments and info guys! i appreciate it. reps to all that i can. :bump:

and as for all the meets, i got to get it running good before i make a trip in it. driving it back from loganville was NOT fun. it was fine for about 45 minutes then it seems like the water pump gave out(probably never been on a trip that long).

and the A/C is still works! lol

Loganville is hardly ATL! lol I live in the perimeter and dread having to drive to Loganville for any reason. That sucks it kept breaking down, hopefully it will get fixed soon so you can get up to the OSJC!

thanks guys.


as for whats wrong with it, we thought it is was initially the water pump making it run hot, so me and xdavidscenex changed it out last night. it seems that its more the radiator, like a hole in it somewhere so the coolant is just leaking out. this would probably explain why i made it about 20-30 miles before having to pull over on the way back.


other than that, just needs tune up. (spark plugs, wires, vc gasket) and it should be on the road! i cant wait! lol :goodjob:
