Here's one to ponder over a beer in the garden...
Over the past year and a half, I have gradually sorted the car, and am now scratching my head on what to do. I sort have got the tinkering bug, and feel I want to go a step further. However, I still want the car to remain 'standard/reversible' in terms of any mods. So to date I have:
Replaced springs/shocks with Meister CRDs
Tyres (Sportrac) and 4 wheel alignment completed - wheels kept as 14 inch Dasiys (am I the only person who likes these?)
Front and rear lower braces
14 deg timing
Brakes replaced, and new stainless brake lines
Cobalt exhaust
Jackson Racing CAI
Delrin door bushes
So what next? What would you do? I don't wish to go down the FI route with this car. Cosmetics/servicing all done, but I am wondering if I should think about chassis bracing with rails and a butterfly brace. Seems very mixed views on these, and she isn't going on a race track. Am I just adding underside bling and weight for minimal gain or destroying the ride by stiffening too much?
Anyway, wont rush on this, but interesting in your views. In the meantime, I think I will head to Skuzzle to see what the Dyno says (and probably weep for a day or two), and ensure she is tuned up correctly.
Of course, I might just go completely mad and buy/build a separate track day focused car...
