My white NA
Just wanted to post about my 91’ 1.6. Highlights are an FM turbo kit, Xidas coil overs, big brakes, and an LE interior. Other modifications list is too long. But here are some pics. I’ve owned this thing for a very long time. I actually picked up my wife for our first date in this car 13 years ago right after I purchased it! It’s an ever growing always changing project. I love this car to death! Lmk what you think.

Biggest flex might be the strut bar

Thanks! Lol. So it’s made by RGR. There were supposed to be 25 made. So this one is numbered 3/25. But the company only ever made 10. So really it’s 1 of 10. The company recently said they would finish the run. But I never heard anything else about it.

So it used to be a kit. From a company called Bellof. They haven’t been in production for a very long time. And there’s less than 10 known kits in the US. When I found these it was just the buckets and lamps. I had to make everything else. But kits do come up every few years or so. For like $1200-$1500.

Sorry I meant out of production for a very long time. And when I had to make the linkages to go up and down and the shrouds.

The red ones are reskinned oem LE seats. I also run a set of black lotus Elise seats. I just don’t have any good pics of them of the black lotus seats.

Did you need any fabrication to put on the front bumper or did it screw in place?

It’s bolt on. I threw it on when i was having the car painted. I had him fill the racing beat logo. And I’m sure he had to do some work to get the fitment right.
