I think it's time to start a new build thread even if I don't think I'll boost it this summer. Will update when I take picture and when I do something I guess.
Sorry for the lack of turbo.
Just some pics for now.

Looks a bit better when clean:

Looks pretty good. Needs some boost now!

Yeah I know. At least it has some power at 9000rpm because otherwise I fucking miss boost. N/A sucks ass. It's loud as fuck and no extra power, can you believe it?
I'm still not sure if I want do it during the summer or the winter tho...
I still have a few things to fix. Lower ball joint driver side, the current suspension is coming from my 92 and it's not a perfect fit. Especially for the rear, it's quite high compare to the front. It has the look of an muscle car with the rear higher than the front lol
I'm tempted to spend some money on coilovers, brakes, bushing, etc before getting into power (free basically).
I don't drive it as much as I would like to. I don't want to drive it when it's raining and it's raining all the time... so...
Honestly I drove maybe 120ish km with it since I have it. I drove it only 3 times. I don't really like that situation where the car is more in the garage than on the road.
Oh and I think I'll swap the 5th gear of my LS tranny into that one. 120km/h@4000rpm is kinda annoying and loud.
-
Sell the trans and motor and then buy a ls setup and a vtec head, and probably still have some left over to throw boost at it.

I forgot to take a picture of my home made exhaust gasket. It consists of a 1.5" silicon coupler and 3 holes ;DDD Works perfect!

Boost>n/a
