Upgrade to ra65 struts in front for better brakes. Bolt straight in.

Ra65 power steering arms for quicker steering, thats if it doesnt already have power steer.

As above, great start.

Either get them coilovered with camber tops and new shpcks or just run new shocks and stiffer springs. AJPS can help. replace worn steering components such as rack ends, tie rod ends, ball joints in the lower control arms and bushes.

Cheers guys!

The motor is pretty straight and runs fine so I'm happy to leave that for the moment and get the suspension done. Just starting to look at prices and gather some things now, ill keep you posted with news and pictures.

I think i found the rims i want to get, set of XXR 002 15x7 front and 15x8 back :)

Also guys, just wondering what Weber manifold can you use for a 2s-c? Is AJPS the way to go?
Can't seem to find one..

If you ever want to get rid of it, let me know. I want one of these.

By the way though, I did see how much it was on Gumtree ;)

Avoid the xxr's
Talk to ajps, and get prices on some superlights! Will look awesome with those widths on grey superlights.

As for conversion, wouldn't be too hard to turn a 3sg around and run one of them, or beams for ultimate.

Depends how handy you are with a spanner
