Doesn't look bad at all Rob. 8)

First dibs on the centre console and front mud-flaps (depending on condition) if you're gonna take em off. :P

Good stuff Rob!! :D How many kms on the NA? EDIT: Just saw the odo in one of the pics :oops: :roll: :lol:

Oh, and what are you doing with the original steering wheel? I'd be happy to take it off your hands :)

The NA looks great! There's going to be a lot of fun coming up in the future I'll bet :P

The first (cheap) thing I did to my NA6 was to get an NA8 seatbelt tower bar. It made a definite difference, it tightened the car right up. Although since it's destined to be a racecar, you're probably best off just getting a roll-bar straight up. Some under-body bracing may be worth it perhaps?

Wow Rob it looks pretty tidy! Did you end up getting the dealer down to $4,000? Even at $5,000 I think you have done well. Will it be registered in time for our end-of-April drive? :mrgreen:

Add wheel alignment up the top of that list mate :)

CAI setup won't hurt either.

So, making its track debut at Lakeside on the 3rd May then?!
