My build started out in a "prettying it up" stage. Once it was prettied up but still in stock looking mode, I started fixing factory deficiencies...while still keeping it stock appearing. More power, stronger drive train, lower stance, better seats, etc. Then I got tired of looking at it and not driving it because I didn't want to get it dirty.

Hit a local autocross and the madness began, with a new purpose in mind.

Thankfully I didn't have to undue any previous work, but it was a bit of a shock to the system when I covered the bottom of the car that used to be clean enough to eat off of...with trans fluid. I got over that pretty quickly though.

So a purpose CAN change along the way...and still work out pretty well. I'm just glad I never repainted the car as I'd probably have a much harder time doing what I'm doing today with a high dollar repaint on the car.
