3. hopefully new coil setup and reinstall cruise control - decided to stick with stock coils and put them back in stock location, and did reinstall cruise control right before the engine blew
4. possibly construct custom gauge pod setup/change gauges - too much of a PITA but I did change to SPA Techniques gauges and different pod setup, and moved EBC to DIN under stereo. Also installed cable connectors into DIN so you just plug in like the back of a computer in order to tune
5. get the front fenders modified to match the rear fenders - they are modified but they look like crap, I guess I'll have to do it myself
6. ss braided lines and reroute for water injection - Still trying to figure out what lines to buy. Might also buy some new oil cooler lines to run instead of the current SS braided lines.
7. possibly move battery again this time to storage bin behind passenger seat - haven't relocated battery again yet, but I am rerouting my power line to go straight to the starter instead of through the engine bay to the front.
8. help roommates get their FDs running/finished so they can go too - can't help them if they won't work on them themselves haha, but this is still going to happen
9. I also forgot I want to get some strut bar spacers made so I can get rid of the washers. - Done
10. rebuild engine - should be getting engine back this Tuesday, will dress it with accessories Wednesday and install by the weekend with any luck
11. replace BRAND NEW oil cooler that got ripped off while trying to pull start - Done
13. figure out why power steering is seeping - replaced all o-rings and the hose, so hopefully this works
I also got all IC piping, the IC, UIM, compressor housing, water pump housing and filler neck, A/C / P/S bracket and oil filler neck all powdercoated. Got the LIM, turbine housing, manifold and DP ceramic coated again, some other parts anodized and most of the various brackets and brake booster metal line all done in black oxide. I still have to figure out some way to paint or coat the throttle body and water pump so they will be black too, and may paint the power steering pump too, not sure yet. I also want to install a new P/S oil cooler line but I may wait to do that. Oh, I also finally hard mounted my relay box onto the front crossmember. I'm probably forgetting some things even. I've been a busy boy. But if I can get leave I'll definitely be at DGRR.
