All over,

I have done a few mods, and am also replacing a lot of ebay grade mods that came with the car. I have not done much internal work yet, just '97 cams so I could put aftermarket cam gears on and I removed the balance shafts, which is a real pain in the a$$ to do with the engine still in the car and I regret not listening to the people that told me it would be easier with the engine out.
I have also replaced the whole turbo setup and intercooler the car came with and replace it with a big fmic with short route piping and an hks ssqv bov, and a evo 3 16g with oil feed from head and a Hallman Pro mbc. I am also in the process of doing a wire tuck along with removal of all wires that are not needed anymore from things that I have removed. Also just have some cheap air filter from autozone, spetre or something like that.
Ignition and fuel system I have messed with a little bit, but still have a lot of plans for. Right now I have FIC 550cc injectors, Walboro 255lph pump, had a cheap ebay regulator but it blew a seal and leaked gas everywhere and I am never buying another ebay part again, so I am currently running a stock regulator, which I know is not a good idea, but I havent been putting many miles on it lately because of that. Also have MSD superconductor wires with NGK plugs, which I want to switch to Spark Tech COP setup after I am done with my awd swap and fuel system.
Right now I am currently working one the Drivetrain and making my car AWD instead of FWD. Right now I have Megan Racing coilovers, full polyurathane bushings, XRC brake calipers, cross drilled and slotted brake rotors, DC Sports strut braces, RRE sway bars, and anti camber kit from STM in rear.
Currently with my AWD swap I am working on getting the new gas tank and rear subframe in. The cutting and drilling that I had to do to remove the old gas tank bolts and mount the new gas tank and sub frame was a first for me. I read about it a lot but I figured if there was any car I should learn on, it should be my own, that way if I mess up, I mess up my own car and not someone else's. Also I am going to get an AN fitting welded onto my fuel pump hanger because the old line was stuck on there so tight, that I twisted the line, and I also have to make a temporary plug to plug into it as well, because none of the forums that I read said that the plugs would be different.
Also forgot that I have a carbon fiber hood that is held down by hood pins front and rear, no latch or hinges, and removed rear spoiler and cover the holes, as well as the antena and the radio, also relocated battery to rear and replaced with optima red top and relocated fuse box. Also have a 170 thermostat, Megan Racing Radiator, and Samco upper radiator hose, and lower hose is replaced with aluminum pipe with couplers. Made my own 94a polyurathane engine and transmission mounts.
