I know this is going to rub some purists the wrong way, But had you considered about replacing the motor with an L28?

Seems that would give it a good punch while keeping it looking stock.
Still updating the thread, some more progress is there as well.

L20 is very close to L28 its not the L20 4 cyl but 6 inline. Power is slightly less then L28 30hp less but it revs better. Have plans to change to RB25DE running on RB26 head with ITBs

Coming back to updates

Stock springs were cut usual thing in cars from Japan and shock inserts were weak so for a temp solution just to get the car running now, trying some coilover conversion. Got Mazda6 front and Suby rear coilovers from junkyard, this is what the guy said, will do some cut and sleeve thing will update later how it goes.




The struts were cut and piece with billet steel made to be welded and have a thread on top, then a sleeve to go on the billet part from lower end and will take the coilover from top, gives height adjustment as well.



Cutting the struts



Welding it (what safety lol)





For top custom plate with same holes as stock upper mount from outside but inside same as stock coils so was replaced.




So final outcome from this before


to THIS
