What's the purpose of this vehicle?

I'm doing something similar as well in the Nissan equivalent.

Daily driver, but might solodex next year.
Aim is to do simple quality mods that dont take away from the Toyota reliability and ride quality, while the parts are still available. Those headers were a hard find. Took a gamble buying it from a random internet site.
Chassis is so soft on this model that any brace installed makes a huge improvement in chassis rigidity.
Problem is, you have to keep the balance between the front and back.
After install the Megan subframe brace, the front got so stiff that the car was under steer central. Hopefully the rear braces bring the over steer/ under steer balance back to what it was originally.

What difference did the headers make?

[Big Z]

Gains across the rpm range, both full and part throttle. No losses

[Big Z]

A little paint for some pop.

512.6 km travelled. Pump clicked off at $287, but filled to $300. Premium, of course.

I am also in the process of an OEM+ upgrade on my 121. I am in the market for a 5 lug conversion and was hoping your knowledge of this chassis would help. Was thinking the local 141 hubs would fit bolt for bolt but no shops have given me the 100% confirmation.

Cant give you an answer on this. But I suspect they will.
