_______________________________________________________________________________
Goals:
I plans for this car will be keep it a friendly daily driver. But also something that somewhat competitive in the road racing course. Give them a run for their money with a trunk full of groceries :lol: Not sure how much of a sleeper I'll be keeping it.
Long Term:
- 400WHP and reliable
Events:
- Local RallyX #1 (Attended, Fun runs, no time)
- Local RallyX #2 (Attended, Spectator)
Purpose:
Track and Daily driver, I want something competitive on the track and something that feels better then falling down a set of stairs when I go over bumps. Not going full out loud and proud either.
