My 1.7 is breathing through a bigger intake and exhaling through big pipes into a 4->1 header and modern muffler. It spins up a 12lb flywheel and at the third shift drops into a close ratio gear.
Stock D-jet, plugs, and ignition points. Very reliable. FUN! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I've added additional lightness to an already light chassis (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

The early 1.7 was my first car when I was 16. Bought it before I was legal to drive in NJ. So all the idiosyncrasies are normal and comforting for me. Reaching for the wipers on the dash, normal.
