. This car will not be a daily driver by any means, but I want to drive it to work when I want to. This is a fwd car, and it will be seeing the track. I am looking into tokico illumina struts/spring kit. Any advice, criticism or opinions on the build appriciated.

Going to try and attempt to do a wire tuck and remove wires for unneeded sensors

Putting the new interior in. Original color was black/tan. Changing it to black/gray.
06/07/2011
Just picked up a 30-30 boost gauge. Also bought ralliart floormats.
I'm having trouble deciding on colors for a few things interior wise.
Headliner- black or gray
Visors- black or gray
Door panels- black with gray inserts or reversed

Put the bottom half of the dash in. Picked up two gray door panels will put them on when they get delivered, thanks vtec_this. Next is to take the stock fuel to rail line out and replace with the Stm kit. This weekend I'm putting the motor together. Can't wait!
06/11/2011
Got the interior 98% done. Now I have to do the headliner.
06/13/2011
Removed the stock fuel feed line yesterday, what a pain in the ass that was. Installing the stm pump to rail kit this weekend. Also got my headliner material yesterday, chose black. Going to look extremely nice.
06/17/2011
Got the stm fuel feed line ran, the walboro 255 put in, the motor degreased and spotless. Tomorrow the block gets painted and start putting it back together!
06/19/2011
Got the fuel line and battery wire ran under the car. Started trimming the rad support to fit the intercooler. Also got the block cleaned, degreased, primed, and painted. Still gotta clear the motor.
