Bought mine from the Portsmouth dealership. Really interested in how your build goes with respect to the turbo+AWD+CVT.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the delay. The Coilovers are on. Car looks great, pretty much stock ride height until winter is up, so no point in pictures yet. I have the wheels (not on the car until spring is here and the salt is gone)

As far for the turbo kit. Not much.. However, I am installing nitrous this coming weekend. It will be a 75 shot for now. I can't justify spending 8k on a custom turbo kit when I can spend 300$ out the door for a nitrous kit.

This will be a good indication on how well the CVT will hold the power. My son LOVES the car, even though he already backed into a tree parallel parking in Brooklyn. And the "loose" shopping cart that hit the front bumper. Both have been repainted and everything looks brand new!

Perhaps some of that upgrade money spent on a software upgrade?

Like a driving school?

I got kids, too :shock:

Could you provide a detailed description of the coil-overs (brand, model number) you chose, and what the install cost?

I feel a need for speed........I am still a kid.

KW Variant 2 with RRM rear sway. Install cost me and my son about 5 hours of my time on a lift in my garage, And a case of beer (for me). I try to do all the work my self on every car that I own.

And yes. Rally school is in the near future up in the northeast.

Don't know about you; however, white is the easiest paint match respray...
