Hello!
 
Hello everyone, i'm 39years old kid from italy and i like playing with small cars :D
Here to share and have adviced on restomodding my newly bought NA!

See you around!

Welcome. Please tell us about your car, perhaps in pictures. Is it 1.6 or 1.8? (Did Italy even have a 1.8 NA?)

Also, what do you plans do you have, and how do you plan to use the car?

Yes!
My car is a '91 NA V-Special in British green, it came with 1.6 85kw engine but squirted and swapped with a 1.8vvt engine, my plans were a racing concept oriented restomod but i probably stick with oem exteriors and a sleeper engine, since i have in my garage a torsen and a supercharger ready to be fitted, first step is enabling VVT.
New wheels of course, 15", rpf1 if restomodding, OEM Enkei's if restoring, probably a better handling suspensions with a small lowering, in italy you can't mess with road safety regs too much.
Here it is

Nice looking car.

I've been happy with a slight lowering and 425 / 275 springs on my NB. If you look into the Better Bilstein Coilovers thread, it will give some guidance. Basically, NB B8's with extended top hats, sleeves, etc.

Looks fantastic! Sway bars could help with the older suspension if you decide not to swap, and don't give away the sleeper status.

Thanks! Well the sleeper status is kind of mandatory here in italy, but i'm sure i can make it enjoyable on the driving side as well, with that wooden helm :D
