Exclamation Here's mine!

Bought this beaut last September. As I live in the Boston area, it was in hibernation for a few months (given our Spring, more than I expected). Anyway she's an '86 ROW (WPOZZZ) model with 82,000 miles. 16" Fuchs with Pirelli P7000's - (40% tread left - I guess "round" is an option that isn't offer by Pirelli - can't wait for these to wear out!). Can't wait to search this board for tire recommendations. Getting ready to install new fron brakes - will probably stick with OEM Carrerra style. My upgrades to-date have been purely cosmetic - 930S steering wheel (money well spent), a Blaupunkt CD Head Unit and new Floor mats. I have also charged my A/C with HC-12 from Fox Tool and it has gone from not working at all to blowing ice cold (needed to replace front condensor fan as well).

This car is awesome. I literally look forward to driving to work every day and once there, can't wait to drive home. Need to figure out a solution to my upholstery problem (split drivers seat) as it is beginning to pinch like my '78 Chevy Nova used to!

Enjoy the photos!

Very nice. What is your emission set up? Any concerns with smog inspections in MA?

Stock. Lot's of concerns here. I went for my inspection last month and had a failed gas cap - that's right - gas cap. I think the inspector took pity on me (given my horrified look - hadn't expected to fail that soon) and gave me a spare cap for the inspection. He then proceeded to run it through an emmissions test the likes of which I've never seen. I passed the test, paid my fee, put my tail between my legs and drove away as fast as I could.
