The guy that sold me the brembos is willing to cut me a deal on pretty much everything else I may need for this car. He's parted out more deltas that he can count and pretty much has an endless supply of parts.
Im definitely doing the 5 lug swap with brembo fronts and lsj rears.
Steering is pretty much the same in all the cars, not worried about that.
Haven't fully decided on suspension yet. I want it lowered. Fe5s aren't available anymore. So need to see what the new go-to is.

Clutch will depend on what I do with the power plant.

Can I create a poll on here?
Turbo or bolt on?
I have parts for either readily available

Per the poll, I ripped to someone a new one for posting a poll a few months ago, so in the spirit of infinite fairness which pulses through my veins whether I want it to or not, please don't create one because it will become a trend asking opinions in a poll form. Just make a post in your thread that is simply a one-liner question and people can just post below with responses. That's sort of how we've always thought it anyway.

Rear beam swapped. Decided I'm going to get new calipers with everything else. Just make sure this car is 100% solid before it touches a road again. Going to do the cobalt parking brake cable upgrade while I'm at it. More readily available and less binding.
Trying to chip away at this every time I go out to my shop. A little at a time, but just enough to not interfere with making a living.

Dude, I’m building my 2.2 right now. LMK if you need any help if you are turboing it. I’m going the p11 route from the l200/cavi/etc. check it out 😉

Keeping everything clean is the key to a successful rebuild. YOU are definitely doing a great job, NotARedline.

Okay, you have my attention. What's the specs on that set up so far?
