- Background
- I bought this car back when I was 17 from my cousin. And he bought it off from his uncle (the first owner). This car was kept in the Xiong family since 1999. I'm the third owner of it and bought it when it only has 98,xxx miles. Now it has a little over than 100,xxx miles. I don't think I'm going to be able sell my baby. I love it too much and keeping it until I could pass it down to my kid or one of my sibling. Goals for this car is to make it a fun street car and show car. I would be happy if it hit around 300whp. No more than 400whp. Keeping it as a FWD and stock 7 bolt because it'll be more unique and have it's full potential. I want to bring this car out and show the true beauty of one of the few most underrated car to the car community that this car, is a fun affordable car and should be more respectable since it's something different that we don't see it everyday. My plan for this car is making it as a fun street/show car.
