I started lightening my '86 hatch today, I pulled out the power steering pump and AC compressor, which have been disconnected for a few years now. Also took out the old alarm and driving light wiring harnesses and re-grounded the electrical system. I've developed an oil leak somewhere under and behind the intake runners, I need to find that and fix it. Right now I plan on doing SCCA races with it whever I clean it out and get done what I need to, but I'm taking my time. ANyone seen a front caliper swap to improve braking ???

you can swap the front knuckles from an 88/89 LXi and that will get you larger brakes in the front. there's a set of JDM dual piston calipers floating around somewhere here. those are your easy options without some machining.
