Lower seat mod
I was aware even before I bought mine that there was no steering wheel adjustment but it was not a deal breaker. But after 18k miles I REALLY would like a lower seat and have been unable to locate the different frame as per details posted here in the past.

For the benefit of our new owner friend after years of modifying cars via extra power, bigger exhausts, faffing about with ECU's etc it was a major lesson learned that I had a much faster more controllable and safer car having had the geo. done PROPERLY & there is in my view only one man to do that. Await chorus from so many S200 owners.................... CentreGravity

The dealer told me that all the bolts were removed, copper greased, reassembled, and set up. Claims are that they took 1.5-2 hours. I'm gong to take a look underneath tomorrow before heading back up to Wolves to have them sort out a paint chip.

On previous cars I would be looking at a single plane manifold, thermal isolator, and a stinking big Holley double pumper carb before the obligatory poly bushes et. al.

Going down the Japanese car path should be interesting...

I was thinking about a head unit change, but just picked up a TomTom 940 which among many other features will transmit music from my iPhone to the factory radio. We shall see how that works out for the time being.

ask them for a copy of the geo set up to check if they really did pull the bolts

If you are willing to spend some cash, I'll change the stock wheels to some light weight forged. Made some great differences!
