Hi All,
New guy here from Rhode Island. I've always been a motor head, pretty much anything that runs on fuel, or has wheels, I've done several motor swaps on Hondas back in the early 2000's, built a few Subies, VW's, several YJ and TJ wranglers, a couple 2500 diesels, quads, currently working on an 81 ATC, had a nicely modified S2000 for several years. In the stable now is my 2020 Shelby GT350, my wife's 93 Cabriolet, and our 2022 RXR Pro XP4. I daily a 25 ZR2 and she a 22 X3M40i.

I have been looking for a square body for the last 5-6 years and I'm going to pick this 87 up tomorrow and get her in the garage to get her running right before I start on some other stuff. She currently idles a bit high and then dies out when shifted into gear, the guy I am buying it from is thinking TBI issues, I am hoping maybe the IAC is gunked up or going bad and for $65 I can pop a new one in and drive her for a bit. Either way the plan is cruise around this summer before she goes under the knife next winter for an LS swap and suspension upgrades among other things I have swirling in my head.

I have tried all of those things. I'm trying to post off my PC and have resized the images as well. I frequent many forums and haven't ever run into this, well not since my earliest days on Honda-Tech :). I can't even post an avatar, but I will keep at it!

Welcome!
I know that GT-350 is a blast to corner!
“Attach Files” works best for me. It seems to be picky on size/quality also by

Throwing that thing in corners is truly a blast, the tremec, the flat plane high revving v8...its my favorite car i have ever owned!

When I try attach file it looks like its attaching, it shows progress of it loading, then its blank. I wonder if it has anything to do with the VPN I'm on.

:welcome: We've been having some small issues lately. You should be able to post pics from day one. Try posting a couple of more times, if you still have problems let's us know. @MADDAZ maybe you might help.
