thanks everyone...without this site i would be lost!

well, wheel spacers are being looked into for the rear.

KA is coming out this week...shame cause it was fully rebuilt not too long ago.

SR will be put in soon after...

paint will be last after i saw the intercooler...its quite thick, there will be mods that need to be made so on the safe side ill wait on the paint.

My personal opinion: If you're not going to do a door swap or a pillar removal, leave the spoiler on. If you are doing a door swap or the pillar removal, take the spoiler off. I think doing one without the other messes up the lines of the car.

not knowing what the hell im doing...long hours after work...and rushing over to my friends shop...and countless trips to home depot and parts stores...the car fired up and runs great...



it came with a blown turbo inlet gasket but a new one along with manifold gasket is on its way.

after that ill slap on the exhaust and see what difference itll be.

i hope it was worth it.

I would like to thank Chris for letting me use his shop and John with his Sr knowledge and everyone here who gave me some top notch advice...

most of the internet guides suck ***
