So I've had the car for 1k miles, so fully "assimilated". So far it's a dream. Really digging the single-hump dash and manual seats, and haven't seen that spec anywhere since purchase. I have determined that the car has a KW coilover setup which IMO is set at a perfect height. I don't know which variant, but the original rear shocks tell me it's probably V1.
After 1k miles I determined that the following needed to be done:
- replace wheels (bent, cracked)
- replace exhaust tips (permanently blackened)
- tighten handbrake
- replace battery
- intake valve blast
Had the first four completed at the dealer today. All OEM original parts. I'm scheduling the walnut blast. I am trying to keep this as stock as I can, but at some point in the future I may upgrade the suspension and do a Dinan Stage 3 performance upgrade.
