The normal modifications for "say" Targa/club type events would be:-
2000cc dohc motor (modified but not dramatically) 2 x 40/45 DCOE replacing the original 2 choke down draft, different camshaft profile, ignition from same manufacturer 1975 on etc
5 speed transmission from 1975-83 same manufacturer but different model
The differential is Japanese
The front rotors are larger and vented (late 1980s) the rears solid although larger.
The calipers are 1990s from the same manufacturer
Caged with MSNZ approved seats and harnesses etc
So apart from the Japanese differential the entire mechanicals of the car is from the same manufacturer although not necessarily the same model. The reasons, like those of most car builders, for the mods are to make it go, make it stop, make it safe and make it reliable.
Any thoughts?
