That's great!! Have you installed the aftermarket traction bars for it, wider tires with offset wheels, along with widening the fender skirts and quarters, and Koni adjustable shocks? They probably have better shocks on the market now, it's been awhile since I had messed with these cars. You probably keeping it stock in appearance but once you put an extra 100hp in that thing you kind of need a bit more stuff done to get the traction. There's a place called psvintagewheels.com that have offset wheels that will fit that car, and the rest of the stuff there use to be a Tiger aftermarket high performance shop in Los Angeles, but I'm not sure if their still around.
