Writeup
My car has been a very very long gradual process. First motor I had built for my graduation present ended up being a rip-off. Last summer when i tore it down, it was basically just bpu with a 60 trim upgraded ct26, susp, interior, and body mods. Almost all of the other major work was done just this past summer, including the weight reduction. The car weighs 3315 wet, ~3285 with pos sogi group buy cf hood.

Future plans
hks twin power, suprasport traction bars, new exhaust mani, 67mm turbo, external wastegate, more suspension work, more weight reduction , and maybe paint it pink ^^.
