Ive still got some little nit-picky things i need to fix, but alll together its in great shape.
my first few mods will include 3" cat-back with a high flow cat, turbo xs bov, install the turbo xs manual boost controller i have sitting in the glove box, probably some corbeau seats, then engine stuff from there on. fuel pump injectors, etc...

$4k is like the highest you'll ever really see these go for, and even then goodluck to the seller ( some are even higher and turn out to be really crappy )

replace the crappy O2 sensor you have on there, have the injectors cleaned, and get the HKS FCD(fuel cut defense) the computer will cut the fuel off once you get into the boost. you may want to replace the fuel pump and filter also, theose cars only have 2 throttle body injectors and if they are working properly the car runs like crap

yeah, however ive got the 88-89 ECu which doesnt have a fuel cut. and once i get my fuel system fixed i'm gong to go wideband/maft
