Here's some quick specs on the car as I bought it:
I am now prepping the car for the WRL event at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit on Oct 22-23. Here's the list of prep items I hope to complete before the race:

Here's some quick specs on the car as I bought it:

I am now prepping the car for the WRL event at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit on Oct 22-23. Here's the list of prep items I hope to complete before the race:
- Freshen brakes: New pads (Hawk DTC-60's), rotors (Centric High Carbon), and calipers
- Inspect and replace front upper and lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends as needed
- Inspect and replace suspension bushings as needed. Bought a complete set of Energy Suspension bushings including the rear control arm bushings
- Replace badly worn shifter linkage and bushings
- Install an ASR rear sway bar
- Create a template for the air dam/splitter (so I can build a new one after we accidentally destroy this one)
- Freshen fluids: Brake Fluid, Engine Oil, Trans Oil
- Buy and install a second set of Kosei K1 Racing wheels with Dunlop Direzza ZII tires
