Finally did it - I bought that bright shining yellow 1995 T-5R with 65k on the odometer! Wow, what a car - love it.

Got a couple of questions though. Hope you can answer these:
1) Anyone installed a swaybar? What does it do and is it clearly noticeable? Does it improve handling?
2) Anyone installed a tower strut bar? What does it do and is it clearly noticeable? Does it improve handling?
3) Anyone installed the chip upgrade? What else needs to be upgraded? I have upgraded brakes (Zimmerman). What does it do for fuel consumption / does it need a higher fuel grade?

That's enough for the time being - for the curious amongst you I have uploaded a pic of the car. ( sorry - tried that but for some reason the website did not take it - any help appreciated ).

Enjoy!
