It already has an 8-point roll cage and some body lightening. All Evo-look panels have been received including a fiberglass hood and deck lid.

P4100004 Another view of the 1.8Turbo. Wheels were RONAL 7x15" which always look good on these cars but will not fit the shown Brembo red big-brake conversion so I got 3 more sets of wheels to play with: Compomotive MO 5x15" for trackday semislick tires, MO 8x15" for slicks and a set of Speedlines 6.5x16" from the 164Q4 for road tires!
