Jeez, that looks like an excellent buy for $5k, let alone $4k if you got them down that far. With a hardtop too? Very impressed! :mrgreen:

Hope the safety and rego go smoothly for you.

Has the timing belt been done? If not, you might want to put that top of your list ... odometer reading suggests it's due. If it were me, I'd skip the NA8 brakes for now. You'll be fine with the NA6 brakes to get you started on the track, but best to go with some decent pads (Hawk HP Plus) and fluid (Motul RBF600 or Elf HTX115). Invest that "brake money" on a set of semi-slicks (14s are cheaper) and a deposit on an LSD.

Engine will need major service and checks on every thing I think there is a small oil leak to find and fix
