looks great for the money you spent on the car. how many previous owners? any history on the car? i'm tossing this over to the non tech section. if you have tech questions about the car, post them in the tech section.

You putting in some 4-piston brakes? Whatcha planning for the car? Sounds like a good candidate for messing about with...some wheels, tires, brakes, you could go on and on! The key is having some fun.

plan is to rebuild the rotary do a full race port keep it NA and maybe do something with individual throttle bodies and a standalone. suspension is going to be coilovers with all bushings and chassis bracing swaybars all the good stuff. breaks i dont know yet and the wheels im going to go agressive on it. as for the interior its going to be simple but functional maine duties of the car are going to be drift and track with some fun street driving
