My pride and joy is back on the road again and since I'm in such a good mood, I thought I might as well do a bit of a write up on it. In the begining the car was totally stock and had been garaged away for a long time. After the first viewing I knew it was exactly what I was after, as it was hard enough to find a clean un-thrashed example of the vlt. This one was also blessed with a factory mx7 manual transmisson, which was perfect for me. For a longtime it served me very well as a daily driver. But as time went on I found myself reading up on CT about the potential these cars had. My mind started to tinker with possible mods I could carry out. Around the same time the fuel prices started to soar, so I saw it as the perfect excuse to buy another daily and begin a transformation...
