    Rally blue spray job ( I need to respray the car as the previous mofo stuffed up the job)
    Semi pro race suspension.

    The car is stil under construction though
    I still want to do more, was thinking of doing a t3/4 turbo conversion
    but im still undecided about that

    I'll uplload a photo later
    lol, very nice!!
    i'm also sitting with a 1600 J2 Elantra. 303 000km
    where did you get the suspension? price?
    And what did you do with the brakes/hubs?
    Mine now needs to have the head done, valves or sumthing is making a racket.

    Was done by a friend of my dad. I'll get his details and pm it to you.
    Can't remember the price but it wasn't to bad.
    The brakes are still the normal set up but i'll be changing to a 2004 tiburon braking set up in the near future. Break docter in Germiston will be doing the conversion on that!!
    (I must admit my brakes don't last all that long)

    Must say though that the car is insanely tough!!
    Takes alot of punishment!!

    hehehe.

    other cars wich ppl allways underestimate is daewoo.

    wanna know why they make huge power, and I mean really huge?

    cause it's opel

    all opel parts! My tuner only uses daewoo 16V heads in all his builds. His 400KW, my mates 264KW, my 153KW corsa, all daewoo heads.

    and some other parts too!

    it is a bit big yes but it is bored out to 1800. remember ppl are running T66 turbo's off 2.0 so it's fine.

    He WIIIIIIILLLL have turbo lag and lots of it, but once that boost comes in it will kick HARD
