AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE MODS:

    GENERAL - Car was purchased with the intent to build the best balanced MKI possible. Currently (11/1/98) car is nearing completion and is being readied for paint. All unnessecary weight has been removed from the car including the removal of interior, glass, retractable headlights and their linkages, steel bumpers, A/C compressor, Stock Supercharger and some factory body panels. Carbon fiber replacementshave found their way into the old panels homes including tailight panel, headlight buckets, door panels, and a one piece engine/trunk lid. Car is approximately 400 pounds lighter then stock.

    ENGINE - Modifications are extensive including: Eaton Supercharger with custom fabricated pulley (20.5 lbs boost), NOS, Hatch engine management system, J.E. forged pistons, shot peened rods, proted and polished head, reground cams, HKS or TRD header (undecided as of 11/1/98) matched up with hand fabricated exhaust. Intercooler is housed in a 5 foot widealuminum rear wing out back, Intercooler plumbing feeds directly through the engine cover. Power is fed through a clutch and flywheel (8 lbs) designed and built by Meuller Fabrications. Tranny has been brought up to task and includes Quaiffe LSD.

    BRAKES - were custom fit to this vehicle since no-one is making a big brake kit for this model. Brakes consist of Wilwood Superlite II calipers in the front, 10.8" stainless rears.

   SUSPENSION - Mods include Ground Control coil overs front and rear with multi-adjustable struts all around. Wheels are 15 lb Black Racing Phantom M-1s in a 16x7 size.

    INTERIOR - Incorporates a full roll cage from Autopower surrounding a single fiberglass racing seat, full harness, Autometer gauges, aircraft switches and one of John's short shift kits (which installed incredibly easy I must say. Thanks John!).

At this time I am undecided about a couple items such as tires, strut manufacturer, and side view mirrors. Any suggestions/comments are welcome. Car should be up and running in January 1999.
