So I decided to finally make a thread for my car since I have some time to kill. First a little bit of background on the car. It was the first car I owned and bought it when I was 16. It has been an ongoing project for about 8 years now. The progress shots in this thread doesn’t quite show every step since I didn’t take a lot of photos during the process. The car was a bone stock 96 base model. Current mods are as follows:

This is pretty much how the car looked when I bought it. The only mods visible at this time were a hardtop and the headlight cover I made.
I got tired of my car being slow so I supercharged it. In retrospect this was not the best decision. Open diff, stock suspension… yeah fun times
Added a roll bar so I didn’t die.
I hated the giant pop ups since I am short and they block my view so I adapted a set of Eagle Talon lights to the car.
Also got some 6ULs to replace those shitty wheels.
A set of Tien Flex Later
I then dabbled with an air water Intercooler setup for a while. That thing was a turd. I recommend never getting one.
I got tired of the powercard sucking so I built a megasquirt for the car.
Designed my own shiftlight because racecar.
Finally got rid of the air water intercooler and went to an air to air setup. Couldn’t have been happier.
Then I took it and got it tuned. Made 190 to the wheels which was respectable.
Because Racecar
Designed my own hood for cooling.
And the motor as it sits now.
