It had a bit of rot around the rear arches............well quite alot really,

Fitted D2 coilovers and whiteline front and rear anti roll bars

It has had polybushes fitted to it
also grooved front and rear brake discs
It now has 15inch team dynamics wheels with toyo proxie R888 tyres

Supposedly 750kgs with around 160 bhp depending on variant, vtec, jdm, etc.

8k + rpm and stick like the proverbial :grin:

i love these little cars - i used to have a little minter

they weight under 1k kg's - mine had 185bhp after a couple of tweaks

you certainly know when you come on vtec 5500 - 8250rpm i believe?? what a sound

i see you had the same issue with the rear arches

must be great fun on the track?
