Project S13 Convertible

[DroptopS13]

To start off, I'm making this thread to track my cars history, progress and record the maintenance.

I picked up this car the summer after my freshman year. After doing alot of research it fit all my goals: Daily drivable, Available parts,TURBO, Decent gas mileage, In my price range, lots of room to expand, and well documented. I picked her up with a sr20det and a 5 speed swap (verts only came with automatics) already in it; due to the fact that it had alot more work done to it than I could of afforded, to do myself, on my budget. Heres a list of whats already been done to it Mod wise.
