Glad you're keeping it.

FYI: The spoiler MINX and I have is the OEM SE/MSM spoiler. It may be easier to find one still attached to the boot of a wrecked SE.

BC coilover Br series fitted. First impressions, a bit more choppy then the KYB,s but on smooth roads just fine. Cornering sits significantly flatter.

Hardtop fitted, gloss black and looking good.

checked tune with new Coil packs, new ignition leads and new plugs, gained an extra few killer wasps and a lot more torque.

Next on the agenda track down rear boot lid spoiler and save up pennies for a 6 speed box. Until then strictly low boost.

Coil packs are what are used in V8 holdens. Seems to work well.

Haltech E8 ecu. If you are interested send me a pm and I will give you my mechanics number.

He could explain the intricacies .

13 kw power increase, torque staggering.
