            I definitely will haha. The cool thing is after selling bits off of this car, and totaling the Del Sol, I have zero money into the chassis. That means I can total it into a wall and only be upset that I hurt the MHW's lol. I am really excited to have to learn car control without having excess power to use as a crutch.

              The car is registered, insured, and roadworthy. I drove it to work today with zero issues. Pictures will come from this weekend. I made a promise to a friend that I wouldn't share any potato pictures on the internet haha

                    With the alignment it is pretty darty but it drives really nice. I need to get adjustable end links so I can connect the front swaybar too, since it seems the ones from BC are even too short to use at the height they set the coils at when shipping😐 

                    The exhaust is stupid loud (muffler delete with a cherry bomb to eliminate a little buzz) and it really resonates inside of the cabin with the sound deadening removed. Not to mention I don't have the radio code and also don't have the 5 sided tool to remove the radio and give the serial number to the dealer=( For some reason they don't have it logged under the VIN number...

                        The car was problem free all weekend other than a leaking valve stem. Super happy with it so far and just a few things left to button up before doing slidey stuff.

                        Waiting on pictures from my friend yet but I'll leave this here

                          Great work! it looks fun.  How I see it, an E36 coupe is a better drift car option. When you go sliding backwards into a wall you can just continue on life as a ti. Starting out with a ti means your unintentional wall-tap mulligan has been used up.

                          just sayin

                                      I just realized that the gas filler door is in a different place on the ti.  Mind blown.  I guess it would be about in the tail light if it was the same as a coupe or sedan.
