Picked this up today as a bit of project, not sure whether to keep as is or go for a more standard look.

Uprated engine mount - not sure what benefits are?

Coilovers, car drives terrible at the moment, its all over the place, very hard and bouncy cant see any name on the suspension so not sure if its just a cheap kit or if it needs setting up properly. Pretty certain the geometry is all out looking at the tyre wear.

Only had about an 1,5hrs today to look over car so left like this for now

Car also has a full exhaust system with 200 cell sports cat, looking at the paperwork this was fitted back in 2007, its 3.5" tail pipe and a bit loud so might keep the sports cat and do something more subtle for the back box.
Looking through the paperwork the car has had a lot of money spent on it in the past, just a bit neglected recently.
Not sure where to start, but need to sort out the issue with only reving to 3k, guy I bought it off said he took it to a garage and it the fault code corresponds to the Lambda sensor. Will go with that for now.
Next need to fix the oil leak which appears to be coming from thr drivers side, once the engine is running ok I'll sort out the suspension and exhaust. Car also needs 4 new tyres but might change the wheels for some standard alloys??
I've always had Vauxhall's so going to be a bit of a learning curve, but will update as I go along - any advice or feedback is welcome!![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
