Cool car. I saw one exactly like that this morning and I haven't seen one in years.
Damn, love those wheels and that interior! Can't wait to hear more.
Awesome!
Are those FD wheels?
The look kind of like Meota wheels without centers?
Miata wheels are 4-lug, those are 5. I agree that they look like FD wheels.

Hahaha! Smart ass 
Yep! Those are FD RX-7 Wheels. The car has a new set of Ksport Control Pro Coilovers, Mazda 6 Front brakes (requires use of 16" wheel), MX-6 GT Front Strut Bar/Rear Upper Strut Bar/ and Rear Lower Tie Bar, It's a base model GT, manual windows, no trip computer, but in very above average condition. It's just turned 120k, it does smoke at times but I believe this is related to either turbo oil seals, or Valve Seals. I have another turbo for it so I may swap it out tomorrow. It's got a chipped ECU, Manual Boost Controller set at 16psi currently. I have the red seats, just gotta pick them up next month with another '89 GT for my little brother.
Nice! Those fd wheels look sweet on there.
That red interior is total '80s fantastic! 
In reply to Sky_Render:
Thanks! I have the original red seats to go back in it to make it more 80's scrumptious.
That's hot. 
Gonna look into swapping valve seals tomorrow. Hopefully, it's just the valveseals, not the valveguides.
Swapped the turbo out and this is what I saw looking in the exhaust ports. #3 & #4 had oil on the exhaust valves.
I replaced the Valveseals and discovered that the Exhaust Valveseals for both cylinders we're trashed. No more smoke!
Out for a victory cruise!
Thank you grassroots for another old car that I will spend weeks combing through craigslist for.
Since the word "stance" has been co-opted, may I instead say your Probe has a properly aggressive posture? Very nice.
Did you get one of those O2 housings that were selling on Facebook?
I didn't, I plan on going to T3 later on. But it will not interfere with A/C & P/S.
Well my assumption of a blown headgasket was wrong. The head was cracked on the #1 cylinder, luckily I had another head on hand.
To prevent any future issues, I used a Felpro Gasket and ARP Headstuds. This week, a fellow Mazda/Ford Probe GT confirmed the stock unopened F2T is capable of 437whp/447wtrq with large Turbo, MS2, and some 1800cc Injectors with E85 and a updated Pump. Not shabby for a nearly 30-year old engine rated at 145hp/190trq (crank hp).
I love the red Interior!!!
Back to boosting no leaks!
I also did catch a great shot a few days ago in a Walmart parking lot.
Really haven't had much trouble with he car, only real remaining issues are a leaking fuel tank, intermittent PS (most likely a dirty VAPS solenoid), and it surges going downhill under decel. I'm guessing the latter is vacuum related. Really looking forward to nice weather so I can enjoy it on some mountain backroading. I'd love to have an 70's, 80's, & 90's get together over the summer as West Virginia has alot to offer for such an event.
