Stock is boring to me, why have a sports car that will get beat by a stock 4cylinder Honda IMO. Depends on the owner, but I CAN see how someone would want a stock car.
Though I like my car appearing stock with hidden mods (internal like cams, heads, etc.
No mods that can't be returned to stock if so wish.

You are correct. Incorrect use of the word correct.

I'm too ignorant to do it through NCRS, but I guess I wanted to keep that option open. My car was numbers matching (and it still is), but I have set a rule for myself that it would "appear" stock. I've installed a Street & Slalom package from VB&P because the handling was paultry.
Aside from things like that ...the rest is stock as close as is possible (I know that my putting in some stainless steel bolts makes it non-NCRS [or my ignorance tells me] but, I'm not fixing it up to have it rust out before I'm done.

One thing I promised myself when I was restoring is that it would never be a trailer queen. I built it to for my own taste and to have fun.
