Spotted For Sale, Supercharged !




Found this '91 for sale in West Orange. It actually has a supercharger amongst many other after market upgrades. For $3200, how could you go wrong?

An Afternoon Project


Saturday afternoon was the perfect day to tackle the installation of the new Sony speakers. After fooling around with the audio controls, we are completely satisfied with the sound quality. Installation, although time consuming, was very smooth thanks to the concise instructions and mounting hardware from Crutchfield.

Speaker Upgrade with Sony


Rather than going through the addition of an amplifier and all 8 speakers (the headrests have 2 each), we decided to replace just the blown woofers with these Sony 5 1/4" ones.

Tein Coil Overs Installed

The Tein Coil Over system was installed and there are two dramatic differences in the Roadster. The most noticeable is that the car now sits about 1 1/2 inches lower. The appearance is so much more aggressive and unmistakably custom. Most notably though, is the improvements in handling. Gone is much of the harsh feel of the factory struts, road bumps are not bone rattling now, with an improvement in lateral performance. This car is now glued to the road. Pictures will be posted soon.
The Roadster goes back in the shop this week for a water pump, timing belt, brake pads, and brake lines.
