we will see when i get it but i see lots of other things to do too i just dont know how or what to do there is just a lot of stuff i can do but like i said i dont know what to do

Yikes.

As long as the car you're picking up is driveable. Drive it and enjoy it. No sense of tearing in to it if you're not sure of the route you want to go yet.

You're right, there are a ton of things you can do to these cars. That's part of the beauty of these. As far as figuring out where you want to be, look at other people's set-up's, get a sense for what they have and their power, and you can get a sense of where you could/have to go to achieve your goals. Your list of things you want for it always seems to get longer too. But that's the beauty of a project car. It's a long term project. Take your time with choosing what parts you buy, and definitely make sure you have plenty of extra money and time.

If you end up going for the e316g towards the end of summer, send me a PM. Around that time I'll probably be upgrading.

Periods, sentence structure, please use them. Just get these to start with-
•hard intake pipe, with 2gmas adapter
•Boost gauge
•wideband if you plan to do some tuning
•boost controller (keep in mind, don't go cranking it up without supporting mods, e.i. bigger injectors, at least an safc to tune, and a wideband to monitor your a/f ratios)
•full exhaust 3"
•*Not necessary* but a fmic is a pretty easy upgrade, looks nice, and adds some performance.

Learn your car inside and out, top to bottom. If you're not mechanically inclinded, you better have money, or will just have to learn to be mechanically inlinded haha.

Ok will do. And yea I will be looking to upgrade some sometime down the road, but for now I will be, as lingling said "driving it and enjoying it." They have plenty of power for me as is and upgrading will be something I have to look forward to.
