The steering parts are in good shape though.

After correction, the "sagged down" look disappeared and the car has a normal stance now. Then I did the wheel camber, caster and toe setting. The angles are in the midrange of the tolerance band. Steering effort is linear and track is straight.

The ignition coil and high tension wires were replaced as coil resistance caused an overload condition which led to failure.

New S1 exhaust system parts including the custom muffler and tail pipe are ready. They will go on next. Then I changeover to the Mikuni carburettor. Then I change to the 4.3:1 axle. Then I put new tyres. Then let's see how it accelerates.

Major work will start after I get my precious MH01 number.

Best regards,

Isn't it ironical that your non S1's have 3.9 and the S1 is being given 4.3!
