nice cab there, question what did you use for the cruise control, or was it already on the car?

Tasty looking cab you have there, welcome to the forum.
You'll have to give us all a run down of the mods you have made to it.
This is mine beneath, along with a VR6 Corrado Storm.
I don't own this anymore - I just can't be arsed to change the picture

Well the engine is only a standard 8V I am afraid. The badge was forgotten there when I remove the badgless grille from my old cabriolet to install it on this one.
It has a 270 Kent GS2H cam, adjustable pulley, AMS chip, K&N panel filter and a Supersprint 4-2-1 manifold with straight through pipe in place of the cat. Before the Manifold it produced 111hp on the crank. Keep in mind that this is a US spec car with 94hp as standard not 98 like the europeans. I expect after the manifold to have arround 120 since the cat is badly clogged.
It is lowered on KW Variant 2 coilovers, wearing 195/45/16 Toyo T1-S which will be soon replaced by T1-R. It has upper and lower stress bar and I am thinking of getting a rear one too, although i am not 100% sure about that.
Brakes are 256 front with goodbridge lines and standard drums at the back. Due to the STUPID belgian law, we are not allowed to changed the brakes, engine and many other "usefull" stuff on the car.
I am on the market for a 3A block at the moment. A p&p head will probably be the next mod and I think thats the end to that.
As for the cruise control, it was already there. The stalks and the cluster were changed by me. I just finished converting the VDO gauges with white faces and blue LEDs.
