choice upgrades fitted include AP Racing brakes. KW adj. suspension, forged
short block, Bosch 550cc injectors and Gripper LSD; 1 of just 440 UK market cars
and even more desirable with manual transmission*
The vendor reports
the car has been fitted with adjustable KW suspension, with KW adjustment tools
included in a KW case, along with AP racing brake callipers, Bosch 550cc EV14
injectors, a Gripper LSD, Forged short engine, the head has been ported and
