Emma, the skinny Brit.

Jellynuts is the man with the pictures

After a relatively short search a car became available in Edmonton that was bone stock and included the OEM Hard top.  I flew there last night.  The guys selling it were great and the car was as described.  Mint.  Needless to say, I moved fast and snapped it up.  I love the car.  Ive never driven anything thats put a bigger smile on my face.  When Ms. XrayVsn let me drive her car I was hooked.  There was no other car that would fit the bill.  Lotus or bust.

But there are sacrifices. So without further delay, here is my plan

No.

Power is perfect.  Maybe a decat pipe and a tune at most.  But i wont go beyond that.  Its fun.  I dont want to ruin that.

Decided against the bumper exit exhaust? Audio clip of the one you've selected?

And send a real picture dagnabit.

This might just work.   I ordered the mounting bracket from RLS.  Now i need a way to secure the one plus.  I also have to figure out a gauge mounting solution but thats something ill leave for winter. 

Ps.  im bringing my soldering kit and a relay tonight

Any plans for different wheels? I think RPF1s with a good offset would look awesome.

Not sure.  Maybe?  I might powder coat the stock wheels.  It'll take me some time to figure that one out.  Exhaust first.

[canehdianJ]

Didn't notice this when I bought it but saw this morning.  The fronts are the proper advan neova tires but the rears are a 280 treadwear nitto tire.  Looks like that needs to be fixed.  I'm driving a backwards dart after all.  I want my rear to stick!!

Good luck finding wheels that will fit.  We are pretty limited in wheel upgrades.  I have not seen RPF-1's that work, but it has been a while since I looked into modding this car.  Even finding tires that will fit the two OEM front tire choices looks to be a really short list.  There are plenty of options for the 225/45/17 rears, but almost none that also come in the same tire with 175/55/16 or 195/50/16 sizing for the fronts.
