April 16, 200917 yr comment_336988 this is how I found the poor thing here is the 1200cc powerhouse since these were taken the car is out of the weeds. I have test fitted some 13x7 wheels and they will clear nicely. Ebay has graciously provided new brakes (ouch my wallet hurts) I have a nice Hyundai rear spoiler (re-commissioned as an airdam) thanks to U-pull-it (although I may go a different way). A friend is donating various Ford parts to make the car turn (cough swaybar cough). I think I have found some slicks for it on E-bay so it'll stick too. Budget wise on my $500 self imposed limit I will have enough left to either paint it or buy a racing seat (read used MX-5 seat). I'll continue to post in this thread as this progresses.

April 17, 200917 yr comment_337035 This thread probably belongs in Rollaclub Rides, or Technical Builds. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing how you get it going faster on a budget as I'm doing a similar thing to my 4 door KE30. All the best! Report
April 29, 200917 yr Author comment_340897 right now I'm trying to find sway bars for this car I'd love to find a nice big front bar Report
April 30, 200917 yr comment_341015 Whiteline does a heavy duty sway bar for the front. Somewhere between $120-160 from memory. Interestingly it is actually a smaller diameter that the standard one but more rigid. Definately worth the $ from my experience Report
April 30, 200917 yr comment_341016 Is that a s2/3 RX7 in the background of the first shot? Whats goin on there? Report
April 30, 200917 yr Author comment_341144 that is a friends 1982 all stock and not running yet Edited May 1, 200917 yr by vagen Report
May 1, 200917 yr comment_341268 a bit of modifying, but try running a second bar. Had a mazda one fitted to my KE35 as well as the stock one and that made a huge difference to the front end. Report

May 20, 200917 yr Author comment_346133 made some progress today I pulled the interior out and started to remove the sound deadening. I found some rust :y: but it's repairable Report
May 20, 200917 yr Author comment_346303 went to the wreckers and picked up a nice MR2 seat for just $23. I need to shampoo the cover but it looks great compared to what's in the car Report
May 21, 200917 yr Author comment_346547 damn grass grows fast but that didn't stop me from pulling 60KG from the car US bumpers weigh in at 25kg each I'm also toying with the idea of a roof mounted spoiler since the down force would be right over the axle all told I have removed 85kg from the car Edited May 21, 200917 yr by vagen Report
