Hoping to get to all this new sh*t put in this weekend, followed by an alignment. I wanted wider tires but didn't feel like having to fender roll or use spacers.
In the plans are the 19t conversion or I might just buy a Kinugawa (not sure yet), R mani, NA intake mani/throttle body, drop in intercooler, and some sort of new gauge to fill the soon to be void in the A pillar pod mount where the VDO boost gauge currently is. Not interested in building the current motor but I am giving serious consideration towards an RN whiteblock and having it ported/polished with h-beams. Also planning on painting her matte black to match the wheels and deleting the rear spoiler. Currently trying to source some R door panels and researching BBK ideas.
My goal is to keep it a DD but an awesome DD that I can still take to the mountains for the winter and the beach for the summer. Hoping to have it complete by New Years.
Recently moved to SoCal so Im gonna try and hit up a local VCOA chapter.
Pics to come. Please follow along.
Ill have the EST cat back off and for sale along with the VDO gauge for anyone who might be interested. Ill also check my current stock 16" wheels and see if they're salvageable (one is chipped to hell for sure).
