Basics (BG)

Hello, I'm planning to start working on my car soon. My idea is to build a street car, but to be able to run at a track. I know I'm far away from it, as my car is bone stock. This is why first, I'm starting with the basics. The problem is that I don't really know much about this car, and I'd really like to know where to start from. Which are the typical things I have to check before starting a project like this? Specially with the engine.

BTW, my car's engine is the carbureted 1.6 SOHC 16v


As far as I know right now, there are some problems I know I have to fix:
  • Change the four tires , at least the front ones, as they are old
  • Check the front dampers, they seem old and loose
  • Fix the unusual movement of the gear stick
  • Check the loose feel on the front part of the car, which I don't know how you call this in English...
  • Check why the car "jumps" while braking and almost stopping

I would really appreciate any advice on how to start. Sorry for my bad English...

Sounds like you have a lot of work.

First you need the manual :- search for file

Thanks for your reply! I have already downloaded the file on the link, but how do I make sure it's the correct manual for my car? I mean, it's meant for cars with certain VIN numbers. Where can I check my VIN number?
