This has been my project since I inherited it from my dad, who has owned it since it was new.
My first project on the car was removing the stock exhaust and installing a 5 point harness. I ran open downpipe for 6 months or so. My parents took away my driving privledges, so I took the car apart in our garage. I put a Holset on it, made a custom intercooler for it, megasquirted it, and all the accompanying items. This here is a previous thread about that project:

After that, I spent several months breaking and fixing things. Every week somthing would go wrong with the car, I would take it all apart, fix whatever went wrong so it wont happen again, and put it back together. I blew 2 headgaskets, melted many hoses, leaked alot of oil, overheated it, all kinds of stuff. I also made an exhaust, put in a K15 cam, and a few other little things.

I worked through that development time to where it has been running for 5 or so months without me touching much of anything. I have been doing little thing to it over that time, like I made a catch can for the pcv hose. I put 72lb/hr injectors in and have been running about 20psi of boost. I made 230whp on the dyno where I work on 17ish psi of boost with the clutch slipping pretty hard. (stock clutch and tranny)
I also just finished up a new system for the car. Alpine Type R 10's and a JBL 2 channel amp running bridged 1 ohm. I made the box so that it tucks up on the upper tray in the front of the trunk. I put Memphis component sets up front in the doors and tweets on the dash but I don't have pictures of them yet. The rear deck speakers are not done, but i will probably just drop another set of Memphis speakers in there. Love the sound!
