Tim, I'm not the one to ask for links or photos - I just get by with
posting this.
Any changes to suspension wouldn't be worth the effort.
If you really want to get into significant modifications I'd recommend
starting with a different car. These are unusual and 'odd' but work great for what they are. There has been a lot of performance work done by people over the years, but it's been 20+ years since any 'development' of mods has occurred. Modest performance improvements for the V4 are pretty straightforward - 100-110 HP. Comment of $ 10,000 engine is off the mark unless you want to try for maximum which has been around 160 I think.
But at greater than 100 you then have to try to keep the gearbox/transaxle together. A bored and 'built' engine with two barrel carb can reasonably bring 100-110 HP and if all done by others could be $ 6500.
The cars were tight and quick when new and a 40-50% power increase
makes for a good exciting driver.
Google 'Yellow Thunder' for a seriously built Sonett III.
