its got hs wheels
16v calipers audi 80 disks

bilstiens manta 2.0 gte springs
its fully poly bushed custom adjustable panhard
manta a 1.6 axle
custom prop forget loads ive done
It does need sills and passengers wing which will come soon

so after my head gasket went bang i looked for a bigger engine
i put a 1.6 in but it was dead as hell
so
i went 2.0 but that died too so now i have this(extremely compressed story)



its a 2.4 cih (very heavy) with 2.0 head polished ported high lift cam twin 40s
it spins the wheels in third
