Julie's opionion of the 16v conversion...

[juliemac57@hotmail.com (Julie Macfarlane)]

I changed the springs to H&R sports and the struts as well. I never had the 
front re-aligned  (Blond moment). That will be done on Tuesday when The mech 
custom bends a pipe for the exhaust and inspects the car.
I have a tie rod end thats got the rubber torn a well. I'll do that before 
tuesday as well.
