The story

This was my first car I bought back in 2019, I was 17 when I got it and it was 100% stock. After purchasing it, I remember driving it home and having to learn manual with my older brother in the passenger seat teaching me along the way. I for sure dumped the clutch a few more times than maybe I should have. My older brother who has been the main motivation behind this car has been there to help me with anything and everything I have done to it. He has done rust repair for me, helped me do injectors and clean the valves on it. I really do mean everything, this car has never once left me stranded. He calls it a "unicorn" because of its reputation, I always call it a "family car" because my family and I would bomb around in it when I had it straight piped(I was still in high school). Nowadays it has a full X-force system on it, I have future plans to get a limited slip differential for it, then go K04 turbo so I can finally take it to a track weekend or two at Mid-Ohio. P.S. Love the Podcast! I have been listening since you guys started, Alex is wrong about Demon Slayer!
