Suspension: Megan Racing coilovers, complete polyurethane bushing conversion, and Megan Racing front and rear strut bars.
Brakes & Wheels: Rear drum to rotor conversion and a big brakes kit and Enkei WDM rims.
Body: Carbon fiber OEM style hood. Still deciding on a body kit, but I want to keep it simple, just a little dressed up.
- Background
- This is my first build, I have never modified a car beyond patch-work emergency repairs, but I've been in love with the 2G body style since I first saw it as a kid. As of right now, it is my daily driver, but in the near future I will be rebuilding the engine, the suspension, adding a turbo, aftermarket exhaust, a body kit, new rims, coilovers, lowering it, and getting a custom paint job. This is my first build and I will be doing everything I can possibly do on my own including the paint job.
I'm very new to performance parts, so I am still doing a lot of research before I select my parts, but I would like to get a lot of stuff done to the car, before I put a turbo on it.
