The company started by repairing the years of rust and replacing the floors. In the engine bay they replaced the factory inline-four with a Nissan turbocharged 2.0 L SR20DET inline-four producing around 205 hp and 203 lb-ft (275 N\u22c5m) of torque. The engine bolts to a Nissan S15 six-speed manual transmission which sends power to a Toyota Crown rear end with a LSD. They also improved handling thanks to a roll cage, 5-link rear suspension, adjustable coilovers, and four-wheel disc brakes.
