One of the most significant upgrades is the rebuilt 3.6-liter flat-six engine, which now features a Fabspeed DME chip, a Cup-style airbox, and a dual-outlet Fabspeed exhaust system. The modifications, carried out by European Motorsports in California, increase power output and refine the engine’s sound. The car also received a new clutch and flywheel, a short-shift kit, and several other performance enhancements, including H&R coilovers, Tarett Engineering sway bars, and RSR-style tie rods, ensuring a more agile and responsive driving experience.

A MOMO Prototipo steering wheel with “baseball stitching” and custom leather door pulls add to the bespoke feel.
