Haha, nothing. It just wasn't as noticable until I got the susp fixed up. It's pulling to the left a fair bit, we're in the process of fixing up the steering rack now but it looks like the axle is also an issue...fulcrum are able to striaghten it for me but my mechanic wants me to try and source a new one if I can.
I think I might have to get a second car as a run around soon... Knowing me I'll just get something else that will be a drain on my pocket... in fact it would, coz I know exactly what Id want to get lol.

nooooo no second run about car, no good... fix what you got, cars are meant to be driven... holing them up in the garage kills them and kills the fun you get from them
especially since it didn't cost you many thousands in the first place and its value will (probably) increase just drive it and enjoy it
new tie rods made my steering much better i hope your mechanic isn't milking you for every penny trying to make a 20 year old car perfect!!

Yeah the garage is killing the fun for me atm...I just had 5 weeks holidays and no car the whole time
I hope he's not trying to milk me either, but at the same time I do want to get it to as close to perfect as I can...and he knows that. And I really want to get a smooth ride before I start looking at getting more power out of it.

That is true.
However, getting things fixed up properly the first time so they become easier to maintain is a solid investment into your car. And I think rare imports should be owned by people who are willing to put the money into keeping em mint.
I also think there is a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction from knowing that it is a 20 year old car that is near perfect in its set up.
It's a fine line though.

true, although i was thinking the other day if someone smashed into mine, it would be instantly written off, even a minor incident because of lack of spares
its a fine line from that perspective too, maybe not as much an issue if you aren't battling sydney city traffic on a day to day basis!
that said, if i ever don't have an undercover garage to put mine in, i'll sell it... i couldn't watch it rot outside
