I bought my car ('90 Pearl White TT with MT) in August 2010 with two spun rod bearings, and three main bearings, and two shot turbos. Paid $500 for her. So began the addiction/ endless project.
Here she is shortly after I got her. Dirty, and look at that godspeed front mount! I have a lot of work to do haha:
 PARTS LIST SO FAR. Not all this has been done at once, but this is what I have either on the car or ordered. As for turbos I did a lot of searching and decided to go with something a little different (I have seen one other build using them). Precision Turbo 4828's.
They are equivalent in size to Garrett gt2860rs turbos, however they utilize a billet aluminium compressor wheel. Modification to the actuator brackets and compressor inlet V-Band are being done by AshSpec. ***ENGINE***

*Again undecided on MS Manis, but leaning toward getting a pair and skipping the massives for now.
*2.5" Split Downpipes and testpipes
*HKS HiPower Catback (came with the car, looking to change to SZ 2.5") The Road So Far To start I removed everything. Pulled the engine, pulled the interior, and preped the car for paint. I have done all the painting myself, starting with the engine bay:
 The body has also been painted, complete color change to TH1, oem midnight blue. More pics to come. Meanwhile the engine was machined and returned to me. I assembled her, painting/powdercoating along the way. Her are some pics of the (almost) finished product. Again I need to take more pictures now that the timing belt and plenum are installed.
 Getting tired of typing, but more to come! Let me know what you think, suggestions are more than welcome!
