Norris Designs is a well known tuning company in uk. They are specialized in tuning japanese cars. Simon tuned a truly track monster. The spec list is as long as the holy bible. Norris decided to cut a piece out of the passenger back doors and lower the roof. The back doors were removed and welded. The car was firstly painted in kawasaki green.
