I'm glad a few people remember me it was getting kinda cold in here for a sec.

So the plan is for this one all the same as the last but bigger and badder

Weber 48 IDA with shorty intake
Sigma carb hat
HKS manifold with 4TOE turbo
MSD 6al's for the ignition
OS giken twin plate clutch
Coilover front struts with camber plates
Fiberglass aftermarket hood
