I am not a fan of modding cars, but I must say, already this is shaping up to be something really special. It reminds me of some group B Homologation car, or maybe this:

Or an ST165 Celica


Either way, it looks like it came from the 80s still, and gets my thumbs up! :hopping:

Good to see the adjustable torque rods for the first time. They are quite beefy in comparison to OE!
seriously beefier, lots of addition to unsprung weight :wink:

I need to pull my finger out and order a windscreen because at this rate, there'll be none left! :shock:
shouldn't need to worry, I cracked the screen on the SS1, ex-stock for clear, eight weeks for tinted, I was worried the crack would go straight up as it had cracked four inches in one short drive (heading diagonally across my view) so opted for tinted

in the week to arrange an appointment it never went further I wish I'd waited for tinted :-(

PS only 1400 ever built, so I'd reckon OK for 480? :hopping:
