Parts Wishlist
ECMLink, small turbo upgrade, fueling, etc... the usual. Will likely stop when we're at the limits of a stock 4G63T bottom end... when it goes, we'll build for whatever the stock drivetrain can handle. Not trying to go insane, but want to have some fun.
Background
Car purchased in April of '24 mostly done (Auto->Manual, FWD->AWD Swap) but needing a lot of TLC. It's running/driving. Been spending time sorting worn suspension parts, perished gaskets/oil leaks, enitre p/s system, beginning mod journey soon. Nothing crazy, planning a reliable-ish street build that I can enjoy whenever the weather is suitable for top down cruising.
