Nooooo!!!! Dude the OEM interior was so nice.

I hear you, the tan was a reason I bought the car. But the driver's seat was cracked heavily and the carpet was really dirty. Switching back is easy though, if I decide. I had the whole interior stripped down in 3 hours. These cars are so simple its awesome!

Since I will be running ITBs, the stock PCV system and the breather system will be unusable. So today I made alot of progress on modding my valve cover for a catch can system that will replace the PCV/breather.

First I removed the PCV and baffling inside the valve cover. Drilled out the hole where it was and tapped it in 5/8" NPT. Then drilled out the barb where the breather hose attached to the valve cover, then drilled a new 5/8 NPT hole for the secondary hose. Next I have to drill the hole where the breather barb was and tap it 1/4" NPT. Then buy a plug for that hole since I won't need it anymore. I don't have the proper drill bit size for 1/4" NPT though so I'm hoping to pick one up tomorrow.

Gonna finish it all off by painting the valve cover and polishing the raised lettering.

Hole drilled and tapped so I can run AN hoses, trying to avoid rubber hoses.

Timing belt looks to be in good condition.

looks awesome man, and very mint. Id love to see it with no fender flares though, just my opinion

Honestly I'm second guessing the flares myself. I may replace the rears with full over-quarters and do some wider fiberglass front fenders.

Wry cool! The gauges look almost like the old Ferrari clusters. Soo happy you've decided to stick with the bbs wheels, much better then the rota's. Are you planning on repainting the centers as well as relipping?

Yeah the cluster reminded me of Ferrari gauges too!


I bought the Rotas as a type of placeholder to fill the flares, but then those popped up an hour away and I couldn't resist.

Yep, they will definitely be repainted. I'm just not sure what color. Maybe just refinish them in silver for now, or possibly a darker grey. Going to be purchasing all new bolts also. Just torn on what color scheme to run.
