She's a stock 1.6 other then the two upgrades I did for her, new wheels/tires to knock 200lbs off the combined weight , thanks konig for having some sweet fitment for the backbones and Firestone for matching up tires to get it right! and a nRG quick release setup with a nardi swade deep dish wheel.

Anyone got pointers on next upgrades or suggestions on modifications for the car?

Also doing an ej253 on my legacy if anyone wants to give advice on that aswell would be much appreciated.

Other news the gc8 is going to be leaving me for good soon, she was wrecked pretty good on the rear end and needs a lot of work that's out of budget range for what I want to put into it.

Something is not adding up. You really can only save like a max of 10 lbs per wheel. About the same for tires.

Unless previous owner had truck wheels/tires, I don't see it.

Maybe she meant 20, not 200. 20 is actually realistic.

On a related note, they can make pretty neat little buggies!
