Default swap complete!! 92 hatch with an ls swap

My first swap too, took my 2 months to piece everything together. But to answer your question, yes it would be wise to focus on the brakes and suspension before anything else.

ok thanks yall, but engine wise, wat do you recommend i do next?? i plan on going turbo in about 5 months...so it wouldnt make no sense to get headers and ****, but what can i do to gain more speed now until i turbo it???

if your gunna boost it save the cash for that and dont waste it on 5whp in a header and all the garbage. as for suspension that is always a huge upgrade in my book. you dont have to have a fast car to have fun if it handles well. you will want a nice low, stiff and atable chassis for all the torque and power you will gain with a turbo so look into some ground control struts and coils or just some full body coilovers. good luck with your car
