Gday guys
After years of looking on and off, I finally took the plunge and bought myself a 1974 1600 GT Junior with a 2 litre engine, gearbox and brakes. I am certainly in love at the moment!
Will be looking at some subtle upgrades for fast road work and perhaps an occasional foray onto the track.
I will be looking first at some brake/suspension/wheel/tyre upgrades initially as the 2 litre engine has plenty of poke after being freshly rebuilt by the previous owner. Initially I was looking at different calipers but after reading the forums and listening to advice, perhaps I will just look at using better pads and fluid. I would be interested to here what the local guys think are decent initial suspension upgrades, bearing in mind I will be looking at going to a 15 by 7 wheel and running 195/60 or 65 tyres (currently on 175/75's !).
Can't wait to get out on the open roads!
