so now that the car is running and is road worthy, its time to think about the longrun build. i just needed it running so the family has it while im gone at training for 7 months. that will give me time to save up and build what ireally want. heres the plan:
rebuilt turbo bottom end
Boport stage 3 head with a 1.1 cam most likely, maybe the 1.5
some type of billet valve-cover
Boport ported upper and lower intake
Stinger header, downpipe and intercooler kit
T3/T4 turbo
either a dual rear exit exhaust or a turn-down after the axle
tubular K-member and
upper control arms of some type, probably UPR. havent decided if i want to go coil-over or not. will probably buy a set of progressive rate springs and new shocks for the rear
MM Caster/
Camber plates
5-lug 94-95 spindles with Cobra brake upgrade
8.8 rear-end with discs
17" FR500's
the axle and brakes and such are not high on my priorities, just on there for later. but the K-member will need to be done when the engine is, as mine is a bit rusted and im not taking that engine out again to do it later. the goal is to build a reliable daily driver, that makes good power and retains some MPG. streetability is my main concern, so i dont want to go too extreme.
