How did hear about TR? friends back in high-school.

If purchased, Why and when did you purchase the ride you have? It was one of an early swaps I helped with, Very responsible owner owned, solid rust free chassis and now is perfect for competition use like upcoming drift events with XDC and Formula D coming in May/June.

How long did it take you to get the car where it is now? about a year

Daily, Weekend, show, or race car? Most of the time its usually thrown around at the track.. sometimes I take it out to shows or meets.

What modification on your vehicle do you like the most? Definitely the suspension. You dont really know how awesome a car can feel when its perfectly dialed. Whether it be a grip or drift car.

What was the last modification you installed on your car? The new turbo setup. Externally gated rather internal WGA S14 Turbo, great powerband thanks from the tune from RS enthalpy and Zfever had no problem breaking the rear tires loose

Are there any future plans for this ride? New tires maybe, powdercoated wheels white, repaint, new exhaust, new seats sometime soon.. The power is more than efficient.

Do you have any sponsors? Zfever and RSEnthalpy Tuning SR20s since 2001
