 photo IMG_20170208_215843_148_zpsbt6mu7pn.jpg I picked up this very nice '89 Probe GT last night. 116K on it. It has a new set of Ksport Coilovers, FD RX-7 wheels, Chipped ECU, and a few other light mods.

Easily the best body style probe ever made.

Just keep it pretty stockish. Later on a T3 Turbo, but it is quite a beast as is ~220whp/300wTrq. Its way to clean and tidy to destroy. I love cars of this Era! I saw another neat car (87-88 Daytona Turbo) go thru a stoplight in Somerset PA on my way to pick up the Probe.

I drove a v6/auto one of these for a while. Other than the obvious, I actually liked the car quite a lot.

If you haven't had the chance, find a Gen 1 and give it a try. The GT's are a chip and and manual boost controller from 220whp/300wTrq. Very underrated by many!

The stock turbo can make 220whp? I wouldnt have guessed by looking at it..

Nice buy, making me jealous since I haven't driven mine in 5 months!

At the peak of its efficiency it may squeak out 220whp

What's so special about the MX-3 (and MX-6?) axles that you need a special tool? Just like to get stuck?

The Mazda H-type transmission is notorious for being highly reluctant to turn loose of the driver's side axle. I've found this to be one of the most difficult things to do on these cars.

The circle clip gets pinched and is a PITA to get out!. I agree James, probably the worst part of working non these cars!
