Hey, everybody. My name is Andrew and I live in Canada. There are, like, ten people in this country with EP82/Glanzas and basically no resources for parts information. I've found a ton of great info on this forum already so I just want to say thanks in advance.
I've loved these cars since I was 15. I'm 27 now and finally found one this past summer. I've never been happier with a car and I'm stoked to start this build in the spring.
Here's a bunch of shots I've taken over the past while.

Currently have a set of Toms New Actions in storage and a ton of plans for the build. Nothing too crazy but this is what I have in mind so far:
-Cusco mechanical diff.
-Frontmount intercooler (still not 100% on what my plan is there)
-Oil catch can
-Half rad - angled with thermal partition
-Re-routing the scoop to feed the intake
-Boost controller
-Cams - not sure where to look. Bigger lobes, but I'm not even sure of the stock specs so that'll be a learning experience.
-Stiff and adjustable suspension (again, not too sure what the plan is)
-Stripped interior + sound deadening removed
-Bigger injectors
-Toms adjustable spoiler
-Short-shifter
-Dash-integrated gauges + shift light
-Turbo-back exhaust/cat delete
-Heat-wrapped pipes
Stock turbo, for now anyway. I like that quick spool. The goal is to reach at least a 10:1 power to weight ratio while also increasing traction as much as possible. I figure getting the weight down to 1700 pounds won't be too difficult and if I can pull 12psi out of the turbo plus a lot more cold air and a less restrictive exhaust I figure I can hit 170 - 185 horsepower.
So that's the plan, for now. If anyone has any input or suggestions, I'm all ears. I'll probably be bugging everyone with my "how can I get this stuff to Canada" questions a fair amount, so, sorry in advance.
