Background: I wrote this many years ago in maybe 2016? I used () for edits on how its going now in 2026. I was in the market for a daily when I happened upon this car destined for the scrap yard. It was rough: misfires, stuck injector, oil leaks, bad mounts, bad front and rear suspension and breaks, cracked and warped valve cover, bad 02, sloppy turdo, rusted almost everything... Now it runs great (This was a lie I convinced myself as to not feel bad about what I had gotten myself into). Its a (SEMI) reliable car that I daily and use for deliveries when its not raining. A few (too many) mods left to do. Possibly tidy up a few mods that are already done so it looks perty (forget how it looks, at this point I just want it to run and not fall apart). Almost time to crank the boost (wishful thinking but maybe some day)
