Lets clear up car terms: "Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car. "Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car. "Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence. "Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Good start. Wish I had access to stuff liek that at work. Sucks working in a Laboratory, no fun powertools to play with/sneakily use when nobody is looking.

the springs were on it already there off if youve got a standard set for swapping

Even just removing their center covers made the wheels look great in silver -like '85 Corvette style. I found the badged bearing caps from 3rd gen Civic finished of that look proper on my '88 Integra alloy wheels.
Shame you couldn't continue on the story from the cars old thread.. where ever that got to.

Glad it's gone to a good home and you've started tidying it up It deserved to have some money and time lavished on it to get it back in order and I can understand you putting standard springs back on as well, anything more than billiard table smooth roads and it was awfull though it did look good! Keep up the good work
