Description:	This car was bought from a kid in VA that totally abused it. It was missing the torque mounts. All manner of bolts. Dropped on Ebay coilover sleeves and the stock shocks were blown. He did a piss poor SI front conversion and ker-rappy Electron Blue paint job (was originally green) and didn't even pain the jambs.. Had an Ebay intake and a chrome Type R valve cover on it (that I still haven't gotten rid of). Chipped up Kaminari CF hood. At one point He attempted to dye the door panels white but was unsuccessful and did another piss poor job of restoring it. I'm still finding things that need fixing/replacing. But it's my daily driver and it gets me where I need to go.
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:	Boosted daily driven D16Y8. Greddy 15g turbo @ a mild 10PSI on stock internals, Converted P06 tuned on CROME 450's Walbro 255. Test pipe/cat. Catback Thundermuff Exhaust.
Suspension Modifications:	Progress CS-II (350F/250R). Benen 3-point strut bar. ASR subframe brace to reinforce the subframe damage I didn't see orginally. Skunk 2 LCAs and SI swaybar. Powerslot drilled/slotted front rotors.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:	205/45 Yokohamas on16" Riax Secas. (Retired)18" (Thas rite bishes!!!) Enkei RS9's on Nexen 215/35/18 from the Prelude I sold.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:	Aftermarket racing seats with 4-point harnesses and harness bar but on the lookout for some Recaros. Removed back seats. Ebay short shifter with NRG shift knob. NRG E-brake handle. NRG removable Steering wheel adapter, lock and wheel. Soon to be replaced Kaminari carbon fiber hood chipped up at the corners. Hood struts. Obligatory security measures.
Future Modifications:	Engine build with the customary Vitara/Eagle/ARP components to be able to safely utilize the turbo to it's fullest. Rear brake conversion (sitting in garage for 3 years now). Planned rear seat delete.

Sounds like you have your work made out for you. Good luck man!! Looks good so far!! Just wanted to add I've had great success with the rod piston combo that you're planning.
