^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what oldcorllas said... but i will add this...

1. ask the person you bought it off whsat struts he put in it, also find out of they are adjustable. if they are then thats solves that issue, otherwise you can buy camber adjustment parts (but i dont know how reliable they would be in track racing)

2. full redo (carpet, roof, seats and dash) around $3k-$4k vinyl... the sky is the limit for leather... but if you are going to be taking it on the track, then i would suggest 2 froont buckets and harness, roll cage and get rid of the back seats (make sure it gets engineered for raod use too)

3. OK its and sr20det, and like oldcorollas said we can assume you didnt do it and dont know much bout it so once again, person you bought it off. ask what box is in it. also STOCK DIFF!!!!!! dont be gunning anything ARE YOU CRAZY? most definately diff but also could be stuffed/worn suspension (shocks/springs/bushes) BUT change the diff ASAP... you dont want to experience a diff blowing while driving or a tailshaft either... i have and is NOT good, arse end in the air with no control in the world NOT GOOD

4. i havent found anyone that can make and fit the bushes (but am still looking) but basically pull it all out and find out which one(s) is/are stuffed and take it from there... i havent reached that far in my rebuild to be starting to think of it or be worried bout it

5. if you dont want power steeringthen just rebuild the steering box, get new tie rods all over and pitman & idler arms (this is if they havent been done already)... i did all that other than steering box and mate the difference is AMASING, cant wait to do the box and see how it is after that...

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY LIKE OLDCOROLLAS SAID

Quote:

it's too hard to say what you need to do and change. it's something that you will either need to pay someone for, or read up on the theory of how suspension works and decide what you want to do with it.. "setting up for track and street" is a little vague.

so if you cant do it then expect pull the wallat out AND you better not be the shy type when it comes to money UNLESS you do it yourself (at least most of it)...

good luck and all the best with it mate... also get us pics if you can we at toymods love to see pics of our and other peoples babies Very Happy
