I will be keeping the car now as the project is entering a "NEW" phase!

Bigger injectors (Blues) have now been sourced along with the EBC and Variable TPMS.

I have also bought a custom Wilwood 4 pot brake kit (front and rear) with floating discs that should just squeeze under the standard 14 inch wheels so she will now stop as well as she goes.

Also have TR Lane roll bar with additional door bars on order. With these fitted plus an underfloor ladder brace (Ultra Racing) she should be tight as a drum.

Still pondering Ohlins, BC Racing (remote canister) or Meister R suspension but will be fitting one of them.

The smiles per £ ratio just can't be matched so the car will now be a keeper!

Fair enough - £5k has made itself available for a fun car while i am waiting for something special to appear...

two completely different cars on my radar... MX5 (supercharged/turbo ideally) or a mildly modified R53 Mini cooper S...
