So ill guess ill start from the start.. stock as a rock, and ready to start draining my wallet ;p


Fist thing was to re-build the motor, as the piston rings were shot and blowing sum nasty smoke through years of prior punishment. Full rebuild, rings, bearings, seals, tune.. This combined with a cold air induction, 2.5" catback exhaust and 4" N1 carbon muffler for flow and tone.

Then through overuse of ambitious starts, enter Heavy Duty Exedy clutch, combined with a full gearbox rebuild, replacement of all linkage bushes and short shifter.

This car was never designed to drive in a straight line, so handling and suspension have been at the forefront of the mods.. Big ass wide tyres with super sticky rubber, lowered king springs, KYB shocks, front / rear strut braces, replacement of ALL bushes, tie rod ends, castor rod ends, trailing arm etc for go-kart like handling on the roads.

Upgraded discs and brakes, BBS slotted rotors / lucas pads for added stopping power.

As the car has now clocked 20yrs of age, a major part of the budget has been spent on restoration of the shell / body with a full respray and kit fit done a few years back.
