Awesome. Welcome to the community.
Search for any questions you have, it's a very powerful tool, even more than asking right off the bat, but feel free to ask anyways if you have any questions. We all started somewhere and just remeber to have a thick skin here sometimes, especially for me!
A few things.
These engines get to 500k+ if you do the following
Keep up on all proper oem or better maintenance.or live in russia! Is joke yes?!
#1 Timing belt kit
#2 All fluids, filters and rubber belts and inspect hoses.
Use oem spec equivalent fluids (that's actually important on these).
#3 tires are 1st upgrade, not a tune, then suspention and breaking and learning how to drive. I recommend autocross. Do all these things before you even think of tuning or modifying for power.
Have fun passing gas stations!
Got any pictures of the ride?
