Orange county, so cal
But after owning it for 24 hours it blew a head gasket (which these cars do as often as you change the oil it seems like) its at the shop. But it's an inline six turbo manual 5 speed. It has an intake strut tower brace eibach springs old koni yellows rebuilt turbo new clutch and bald tires. Gonna get lowered until its barely drive able and throw some really low offset concave wheels on it. And some adjustable lower arms if I can find any. Also new paint job and all that jazz

Looks like a clean project man! Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Dfw clean dd project
 
Turns out my head gasket is just fine. There is a coolant line in the back of the motor that is sandwiched between the head and the firewall and that's what gave way. 130 dollar fix and she is back in business
 
I thought about flipping it but I've never owned a car before. It's really fun to drive around so I'm gonna fuck it up by lowering it too much and having even more tire rub than my Nnbs on 35's
 
Got it back from the shop. 490 bucks later she's a solid runner. Now with the exhaust leak fixed it boosts pretty hard. And sounds great. I'm stoked now im gonna start on the suspension
 
Turbo+ rwd.......sounds like a future drift car.

weld that diff, drop it, down pipe and bmf behind wheel......drift fun
