now my mission is to get all that stuff into the rt4wd wagon platform. i know im gonna have to make a new turbo kit, not that big a deal. but before i can do any of that fun stuff i have a lot of work to do bringing the wago up to speed w/ maintenance, up grade suspension from the ebay coils and stock shocks, bushings and such. i have to keep reminding myself this car is 19 years old lol. but its gonna be a work in progress for sure, thats why im starting this thread now.

    still working on getting to the dyno, and those videos. im hoping for sooner rather than later, but my local dyno is currently broken so we'll see about how long that one takes. and as for the vids, im tryin to scope out a decent place where i can rip on it that isn't a public road... not looking to get a ticket mailed to my house from the local boys in blue.
