…..It all started on the on-ramp to the second narrows,,
driving my mint 1986 scirocco, right after I dumped 3K into the exhaust and suspension
……oh ****,, it’s raining,, and the big truck ahead is not moving, forgot to upgrade my tires and brakes….
…SLAMMMM,,
SCIROCCO vs BIG TRUCK,,,,, BIG TRUCK WINS
…ICBC …write off….
So the search begins for a new ride…
Picked this car up from Tyee Imports a couple of years ago,,, I'm guessing it was a track car in japan.
Only 52k on it when I picked it up, …that’s what the odometer told me anyways…
basically the internals were stock, some mild external mods, Apexi exhaust/downpipe, cooling, oil cooler, Power FC L-Jetro, twin plate, suspension, roll cage, and a nice CF racing seat that was too skinny for my fat ass.
Most memorable moments of this car during the past 2 years was the 24 times it took to pass aircare,, ….EPIC.
In a nutshell since then, I have done the following stuff to it in the past 2 years
Apexi Power Intake
Turbo Divided Intake Pipes
N1 water Pump
AEM Meth Kit
Wash and wax
Billion Header Tank
Mishimoto Fan Shroud
Billion VFC-ELM temp Gauge <-- I love this
nice shiny ebay engine damper
Blitz Turbo Timer <-- talks Japanese !
Tomei Fuel Rail - <--- nice Shiny Blue
Deatchworks 1000 CC injectors
Aermotive FPR
2 HKS EIDS Pro Unit
Projector Lamps mod <-- courtesy of Dale’s handy work
Apexi Boost Controll
LED tail lights <--- don't know what the point was,, I'll never see them...
My initials 5 year plan to upgrade the engine with forged internals has been expedited by some unforeseen reasons.
The immediate plans are now to install the following
Wiesco forged rods, pistons
ACL bearings
Tomei Oil Pan baffle, metal gasket kit
Port and polish head
Tomei Poncam Set , Type B
Tomei adjustable cam gears
Arp head studs
In a few years once my credit card stops bleeding, I plan on replacing the twin turbos with one big gigantic one, MAFS, and perhaps ECU.
I am hoping that the internal upgrades will safely get me to my 600+ HP goal. (….safely)
Hopefully parts will be in soon, will post pics as they ooze in
…Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and BTW this is a DAILY-Driver, Grocery Getter.
