Frontpage special
no. 5 is a very fine looking EDM

has been put into this car
recently including a new
paintjob.
Timo has done a great job
upgrading the car while
maintaining the clean look.
Read all about the new paint job
and more Timo has done to its

Engine
I'd like to go turbo.
That's the main thing I want to do to the
engine right now.
I was going for a basic NA tune setup,
however certain things have made me want to
go tbo. I have thought about superchargers,
however finding all the parts for a d-series
dohc and getting them for a good price is a
good deal harder than just getting a turbo
set for it that just about every place has
for sale. And the gains for SC setups that
I've seen haven't been anything world
shaking, a basic turbo setup is just better
hp for money.
Interior
I'd like to do the whole
buckets and race harness thing, but I'm not
sure what I'll end up doing as I need to
keep it so that I can revert to stock or
near stock for the annual inspection we have
over here. Having no rear seat is a problem,
but I've heard that having the seat belts
back there is enough. Odd as that may seem I
will find out shortly.
Also I'm gonna get stock black air vents
etc. when I see a good set that I can grab.
Exterior
There's really nothing I'd
change right now. Possibly fix some of the
things that didn't turn out as good as I
would have liked. Mainly stuff nobody can
see, but I know are there.
