Ok its been a while since I've had any progress but I ordered my coils today went with the yellowspeeds. I'm gonna find a shop to drop off the engine to get the PnP done and then its all down hill. I'll post up my progress I know a few of yall have been waiting for this day to come I know I have. So the end is near.

Thanks man appreciate it it will come to an end soon only thing I need it to finish off the engine and while I'm at it might as well rebuild the tranny too. So once that's done then I have everything else the other small stuff will come when needed.
On a good note I picked up my coilovers so I'm stoked about that cant wait to get them on.

If you're looking for a turbo kit for your 1.6 a guy here near Montral sells one.
It's a top mount setup, ceramic coated log type manifold, GT25 turbo from a Mitsubishi, downpipe 2.5", lightweight flywheel, etc... Has to be tuned with a Megasquirt standalone unit he also sells in the kit.
Want the link?
Also, put LEDs in your front corner lights. I had exactly the same and because of the heat of the normal light bulb, the outside lens becomes yellow from the interior.
So with LEDs it wont generate any heat and youll save your corners.
Nice car though! Always a fan of a well built 99-00 proteg!
