This is the car I got off EBAY for £51 ,now modifying it for trackdays,
Work I have done include stripping the interior,fitted rear site polycarbonate windows, fitted bucket seats and harnesses, Boost gauge and AF meter, removed Turbo+ and fitted MBC and k&N. Cut holes in bumper for brake cooling and cut front springs (1 coil - no where near enough), fitted superflex front anti rollbar bushes.
To do - upgrade brakes , cut rear springs , oh, and maybe wash it?

While that's a great deal to make a track car out of. I'd suggest some much harder springs and shocks for track duty than cut stock springs. They won't be good for much of anything when it comes to trying to handle well on a closed course. At least try out something like 300lb fronts and 200lb rear springs with Bilsteins or Konis.

Great buy!

yeah they work fine, just notice the bulb holder to rotate the bulb and move the beam over to the other side

Nice score!

Can you take a pic of where the harness belts are bolted to in the back seat? I need to get mine in but would like to see how yours are. Thanks.

Ive added a aluminium heatshield to the right of the k&n and cut a hole in the front panel and will connect a hose from the front spoiler hole under the bumper to the hole I cut.

Nope, lenses are different. Look at the glass and by the "E" you'll find an arrow pointing in the direction of the beam cutoff. The LHD lenses are a mirror image of the RHD ones.

Thanks for the pics of the belt install. BTW, I have my seats mounted in my factory sliders that way too. Seems to be the easiest way to get them in.
