I fitted a cheap Ebay front mount and have a reliable 330bhp.

I didn't do it, but, would agree that the standard brakes should be one of the first things to change.

Dude you really don't want to get carried away before you know how good the car is,just hang fire.

We all know how it is when you get a new car, but these cars are a little different you need to take your time because as mattyb said so many people buy these cars spunk all their cash on mods then it goes bang and they have no money left to fix it.

Drive it, enjoy it, explore the limits and then see where it takes you.

Do your research and mod slowly but above all with a car of this age if you have spare cash hang on to it.

Well I'd like as a minimum a set of shocks, brakes, and ARBs.

A full 4-wheel alignment is also top of my list. Coming from a mid engined car, I know the importance of this only too well.

Just been in touch with the seller, he says he thinks mileage is all kms. If that's the case, happy days

If the car was converted to MPH when imported (it should of been) then it will be KM up until it arrived and then miles after.
For instance, my speedo reads 89K, but when worked out it is actually 70K odd.
I have the very first MOT in my history folder so can see the exact mileage of when it was imported.
If however (and some are) it is still running in KM then yes, happy days, it will be somewhat lower miles.

Or they may have used a sticker on the speedo to convert the reading and the odo will still be in KM.
