So i drove it around for a while passed emissions started to practice how to drift clutch kick and all the fun stuff along the way i cleaned it up.

Painted all the trim back to stock black. it had a horrible paint job so i decided to return it to stock look i also re-sprayed the interior black to clean it up.
Then my car started to smoke so i went and got a used turbo and my buddy helped swapped it out and also put a new battery in the car with relocation kit to the hatch the battery in their was 7 yrs old.

So as i was doin the battery relocation kit i decided to clean up my in intercooler piping and make it shiny and the the nightmares started coming i found i need all new intercooler piping. it was rubing were they cut the frame to route piping.

So i tried doin the intake manifold my self and i did have the proper tools or the time with work so i brought it to ecs performance were they put it on and found out it had to be machined flat cause it was not sealing right so i also had it powder coated black and at that time i had all new intercooler piping re-done. After all was said and done my car still smoked so they did a compression test and found out cydlinder 2 had bad rings so i purchased a new motor from tiger ***.
This is my attempt at putting it in
