Felt like sharing my build progress of my car sence i bought her 2 years ago. Soon will be an autocross car with a fully built engine. Warning: apparently tap a talk is getting greedy and only uploads shitty quality pictures with out paying a fee.

How comes the fun stuff.

Looks good! Glad to see this chassis still getting love and being used for autox/track events even 20 years later. Keep up the solid work!

Thanks im also going to rip out the front sub frame and powerwash paint and replace all the bushings. Its had an oil leak for awhile previously and could use some tlc.

I already did the rear when i put in new coil overs last summer.

Me and my uncle made a custom turbo manifold, and i built a full exhaust 3inch front to back. I still need to add in my flex pipe and fully weld it but other than that its all done.

Thanks im looking forward to it too. I have a few more things i need to get. Mainly the ecu and i am waiting for my transmission to get done with the LSD install. All my gauges and sensors arived today.

Looked like xmas on the porch when i came home today.

Still waiting on my fusebox, switch board and a few other odds and ends.

That moment you give up on building a car and deside ur going to the moon instead.

Im not sure what all im going to have set up but i do have a manual fan switch that will ground the fans to turn on and the red switch is a 3 stage off on on so what im going to do aslong as aem ems4 lets me is run with the boost controller OFF so its just gate, middle pos will ground singal for med boost and up pos will be high boost. Will work in theory but i dont have the ems to play with yet.
