Default Slow build on my 95 NA

Currently taking some steps to make my car more and more fun. Currently on MeisterR sportive coilovers. Swapping in a torsen diff in the next week and installing my harddog Xtreme chrome roll bar a couple weeks after that. By the end of this year I plan to have a kraken turbo system installed and maybe long term swap in a built motor. Along with some suspension bits/brakes to make the whole thing work better

work better.

Sounds like a good plan.
I'd love to get a 1.8 LSD setup in mine, but they are very hard (and expensive) to find in my area.

The only reason I have it is I bought a rusted out M edition about two years ago for somewhat cheap, blew the motor, built a motor, blew that because I messed up the break in. Bought this one with a broken automatic and pulled everything off of the rusty one and sold that shell. and have been swapping the good bits over to this one ever since. The current wheels are from that car, the roll bar I'm planning on swapping in, torsen diff, manual transmission and soft top are all from the rusty car.

Torsen diff with poly bushings got swapped in this weekend. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet because it's still pretty gross out where I live, but spring is on the way.

Default Next Big Step

Kraken top mount has been ordered with a pulsar 2860. Between now and when that arrives, I plan on installing my speedy efi ECU and get into tuning while it's still N/A and I can't cause too many problems.

Default The next Big step

Got my speeduino ECU installed today. Got it connected to tuner studio and got sensors set up. Flipped it back to the stock ECU because I'm a bit anxious about the whole standalone ECU process until I get past that first startup. In the next couple days I'll drive it around a bit and get ve analyze started on getting things going. On days I just wanna drive the car I'll probably ride on the stock ECU until I have some miles and a Dyno session complete, but will continue researching and fiddling with things because that's what I'm all about.

Default It's here

Kraken top mount setup showed up today. Messed up my ISC valve working through tuning things so waiting on getting that fixed to continue tuning stuff. Going to keep working on getting the tuning thing down and hopefully get the turbo install started by the end of may. But not looking to rush things because tuning a turbo motor is definitely definitely more risky than an n/a motor
