Hello from Canada! (Vancouver, BC)

Hey guys,
Just found 86garage and noticed all the great information and the community involved here, thought I'd join and say hello! Got an 86 Hatch w/ Smallport and mostly suspension/braking modifications.
Goals:
Make it a fun car that I can take to the local Knox Hillclimb and track days/time attacks (MRP, Ridge, Pacific, etc.), as well as a fun street car...maybe some drift days if I feel so inclined.
More for driver feel/enjoyment rather than power.
Plans:
Stay High Comp Red Top (Must stay 16v, my preference)
Redline Weber Carb kit
TRD 304's or equiv Cams
12.5:1 Compression
Lightened bottom end/rotating assembly
Stock GTS gearing
Full interior
Full Roll Cage (to spec)
Full Rust repair
Repaint
130-150whp target power
Bare essentials for comfort (heat, wipers, no power anything, etc.)
Attention to Detail is KEY with this build.
Current Mods:
Nardi Classic 340mm wheel
Full SR5 Interior (simplistic by nature)
1.5way TRD LSD
Smallport High Comp 4AGE w/ custom welded intake manifold
HTS 102R Shocks
Shortened Front Casings
6kg coilovers up front (custom)
6kg TRD springs rear
Porterfield R4S Brake pads front and rear
Slotted/Vented Rotors
Front Upper Strut Bar
Stock sway bars Front and Rear
In the garage:
87' AE86 GTS Hatch
90' Honda Civic Wagon
2011 Honda Ruckus
Thanks for reading, looking forward to contributing =) .
