What you should expect out of this thread is a lot of small changes that a hobbyist racecar mechanic would do to their street car excluding those prohibited by SCCAs H Street rules. OK there is some of that too since I have some Smokey Yunick tendencies ;P but I don't autocross enough to threaten anyone.
So after 6 weeks with my 03 Portege5 I feel good about posting my progress.
I bought the car with just under 96k in Sunlight Silver and a 5 speed. This is a daily driver and will also see an occasional autocross in the H Street class.
Most of the cars life was spent in California so rust is minimal but street parking took it's toll. The wheels were also flaking badly.
I'm going to break the first couple posts up into roughly: interior, exterior, and mechanical.
