Not Ranked
I kept the billet suspension arms that came with it originally. David said that upgrading to the new ones would not provide a big bang for the buck. Barkes were also untouched (but I did add bellows caps to the resevoirs earlier and they made a big difference in pedal feel. Probably due to less water contamination.)
Changes:
1. new rear half shafts
2. addition of rear anti-sway bar
3. new ceramic coated stainlees steel pipes
4. gold foil engine/trans tunnel insulation (see pix on the coupe thread)
5. install glove box (it seems unimpoirtant until you have one)
6. relocate battery to trunk/use smaller light weight battery)
7. change diff from 3.31 to 3.54 (I have the TKO with the .81 OD)
8. route frsh air ducts from brake cooling inlets on each side of radiator opening in the body rather than inside the radiator opening
9. Installed Kirkham gauges with fuel level indicator inside speedo. (Required installing fuel level sensor in tank, but tank was off car do rear anti-sway bar install)
10. They also went over every nut and bolt, replaced loose rivets and just tweeked little things here and there.
My list of requests was a lot longer, but David steered me clear of things that, while sounding cool, really would not make a cost-justified improvement.
The above list seems very minor, but those little changes really transformed KMP 300 into a really nice car.
If David is reading, he may have a better recollection of what was done. I may have skipped a few mods.
