Future:
  • I'm still figuring out how far I want to take this vehicle. With the 3 speed auto it will never be that great unless I do a swap to a 5 speed manual. With that said it could be a great daily driver. Some of the things I'm considering are the fact that I live in a city with potholes the size of the cavy and what to do with the suspension when I have to fix it. I would love to do the IRS swap! Possibly a WAI or CAI? Maybe port the intake and exaust manifolds. Timing chain tensioner. Upper engine mount insert and lower dog bone mount.
