I thought i'd share my build with everyone. It's most def. in progress...

First and foremost, I'd like to thank Greg @ SpecialtyZ... he's been a saint to me throughout this.

Background- My father bought this car new in 1990. He drove it until he died in 2000, and around ~2002 my mother gave the car to my cousin. The cars condition deteriorated to an extent, and after selling my 2008 VW GTI and picking up a Tundra, I decided I was ready to take on the build of a monster.

Not gunna go into great detail, just pics. The motor had a terrible knock but it went away, i'd think due to sticky lifters or something along those lines... got some fresh oil into the car and it's gone.

Goal: 400+whp/93 oct & 500whp/q16
Weekend car w/ excellent suspension & stopping power

Anyway, pics.

The good stuff...

Time to get wrenchin...

What the car needs as of now-
MS Manifolds
X pipe
Paintjob
Fix some electrical/power steering issues
Tires

I havent diagnosed any brake/suspension issues yet.
