I had a sticky throttle cable and some carb cleaner made it good as new. probably not recommended but it worked for me

Woo! So does it have the 160 hp or so now? I can't remember the exact numbers, but I had looked at the 4th gen GT-S before since it already has a 3S-GE and they're pretty cheap.

Resident 4th Gener here......thanks for saving it. When cleaned up properly they can be a beautiful representative of the 80's. If I could I'd own 4th 5th and 6th gens...love them all.

Sorry for the late update but the car is all smogged and tuned and errythang. Only last thing I want to do is upgrade the exhaust piping to 2.25". Also my clutch slave cylinder took a **** and I tried replacing it but I ended up crossthreading the hyd line......so I'ma have to attempt to rethread it with a die.

Nice save, love those cars the more I see them the more they grow on me. Would love to see a tastefully modded progress thread of this car. Were these rwd at one point? I remember checking out a rwd 86? i think celi on craigslist.
