    This is Sara 2 my genjuan speed3, she’s got some mods but I have a lot I want to do.
    First mods done:
    Coilovers
    3” sri
    Catless dp
    Hpfp internals
    FMIC (want to replace core with gold mishi so advice on size is welcome!)
    XXR wheels
    Tuned by freektune

    future goals include
    Fortune auto widebody kit
    Gen 2 conversion hood (because hood scoop)
    Turbo (advice? Looking for something EWG wise with a vband exhaust mount because going for hood dump exhaust hoping to replace within the next 1-3 months depending on total price)
    Will replace exhaust mani for turbo if needed
    Want to get some form of PI down the road for big power!

    Old pictures because car is parked for winter. Will post new ones this spring!

    Why do you want a hood scoop on a fmic car? Wouldn't that just reduce proper flow through the engine bay increasing temps.

    If you're going vband exhaust then an EFR turbo is probably the way to go @Enki can guide you on size

    The reason for hood scoop is lower iat and egt. Plus doesn’t look bad on the genjuan tbh thanks for the advice! I’ll look into it more!
