Background & Plans
----------
Started off life as a street-only car, enjoying it on my commutes and hauling around friends and groceries during my final years of college. Since I started working full-time after school, I have moved to the SF Bay Area in California and started attending more HPDEs. I have been focusing more on the "Track-focus" mods you can do, while still having the car be somewhat of a daily-driver and livable with the steep driveways and approach angles I face daily in SF and San Jose where I live.

Next mods definitely include:
- Better Struts / Springs / Coilovers for HPDE use
- Replacing OEM bushings (diff, LCAs, etc.)
- Dedicated set of wheels / tires for track use

Hope to meet all of you guys out on track! :)
