AGX KYB adjustable shocks, FM progressive springs, FM
anti-roll bars and Rear shock mounts. ALanny alignment.
These have produced an amazing change in handling, from
good to excellent! The brakes are so far standard with
more aggressive pads (EBC greenstuff - on trial). I
am looking to double the HP by installing an FMII turbo,
this should produce aroung 260hp, all being well and
maybe more. I will be uprating the brakes, clutch, exhaust
etc at this point.

| For safety, i have installed a Hard
Dog Roll bar (the 5 does not stand uo to being rolled!).
This has also helped with chassis stiffening. This is
one of the mods I did myself, and was not trivial, taking
2 people and all day - bolting onto the chassis etc.
I have also made some subtle modifications to the looks
of the car. I have changed all the lights for cleaner
modern clear lenses and reflectors, including 'black'
lexus lights on the rear and low rise dual headlamps
on the front. All these were done by me.

| I have also changed the wheels and
tyres for light Rota Subzeros in a 16 inch size. These
have Toyo Proxes on them, and are very grippy!
I recently took my car on a track day and found it
was outhandling most of the cars there! I was very pleased!
My next step is the turbo, which will be in the next
few months. I am also aiming to do more trackdays and
look at ways of getting some access to competitive driving. |
