It's amazing how some great "upgrade" choices make this car something really desireable.

I've only had it at an extended autocross so the jury is out on that. The radiator I had was damaged at that autocross. Patched it back up to make it home, but I'm replacing it with one that has a larger core and is dual pass. I wanted the inlet/outlet on the same side anyway so this kills 2 birds with one stone.

Ended up being able to clock the compressor housing after a little grinding so I was able to redo the piping for a cleaner look.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

No video's at this point, need to get some this year.

I'm most likely getting a Haltech ECU upgrade soon. My engine management is old, it would be nice to have something more modern. Looking at having some custom 18 inch BBS RS's made up as well. My favorite wheel, and I want something wider in the front. We'll see. New wheels coming one way or the other.

Little update. I pulled the trigger on wheels in my quest to run 18x10's on all corners. I purchased larger ZG flares, also known as BAMF flares which will be large enough to cover the 1.5 extra inches the wheels will need to come out in the front. These have arrived and I'm quite happy with the quality.

They need to be larger to cover these.....



The BBS RS's just weren't going to work out due to my brakes in front. I've ordered these COR Precise wheels, 18x10 with a -25 offset. They should be here in a month or so.

In other news my car is in a book. "America's Coolest Station Wagon's".



It's available via Amazon.com or any major bookstore on April 15. Pretty excited to get my copy. My good friend took the shots for the book (and the good ones in this thread). Not sure which of the pix were chosen, but I'll find out soon.
