well honestly if I was to do it all over again I would do a TII swap to get some serious power... It would take some money but it would be worth it in the long run. There are many threads about the swap and it has been done quite a few times so theres people who can help you out along the way.

Right now I still am using a 12a with a weber 45 dcoe, full racing beat exhaust, and so on and so on lol... Its fun to drive but im always in search of more power. I may eventually have to go with a TII swap myself when I have some serious money.

Do suspension and brakes first. No reason to go fast if you can't stop or corner first.

Car looks clean. You have the same color that my car was originally. I would replace the muffler tho it looks a little rusty.

leave the reflector in. If you take the red center out then the light becomes illegal. Right now it's still 100% street legal.
