Faults:

Drivers seat wearing out very rapidly.

The rear suspension is very noisy, rattly even.

Electric mirrors not working to full extent, also had problems with behind dashboard wire loom,Bzzzzzz.

Rear wiper arm rusted to pieces.

Door handles are fragile and will snap quite easily.

General Comments:

Keeps on the heels of much bigger cars as well as a few of those Familias.

Runs low 14s on the strip.

Very pleased with the performance of such a small car that has a lot of potential.

I lowered it on 15s KYB springs and it has a modified muffler 2 1/4 inch pipe and a large KnN air filter.

Stock it was 93kw, now around 102kw.

Faults:

-Horns don't work properly.

-Rattly rear suspension.

-Rattly timing gear/valve train.

-Electric mirrors are somewhat unreliable.

General Comments:

-Fairly quick.

-Handles extremely well.

-Rather rare.

-Factory Recaro seats are very comfortable, yet will wear rapidly, due to their high side bolsters.

-Runs very rich, and is very thirsty.

-Red paint requires constant attention to prevent it fading/oxidizing.

-Exhaust system has been modified on this car, and aftermarket air filter element fitted.

-These cars are not a turbo, but everyone seems to think they are.

Faults:

I blew the heater radiator. This was a massive job to repair. It meant stripping the entire dashboard and center console.

Driver seat is starting to wear badly.

Paint job is fading quite badly as well.

Clutch has been adjusted, but is still slipping, it will need to be replaced.

General Comments:

This car is pretty quick and slightly modified.

Handles good, nice stiff shocks, but not too bouncy.

Would like to see a bit more power out of it though.
