Car was officially back on the road today so I thought I'd do a minor update.
- Oil change & Seafoam (thanks Aaron!) done last week. Waiting for CAS O-Ring to come in from Rosenthal.
I bought these.
Made a down payment on a roll bar. Will bring it home next month.
Things to do:
March (hopefully this Friday):
Replace CAS O-Ring
Replace NB rear tophats with ISC top hats
Put 20 mm spacers on
April:
- Pay off rollbar
- NAPA rotors & pads
May:
- rust repair
- mount tires on BBS wheels
- alignment
Thats it for now. Baby steps.

If you have true coil overs you can just wind them down and relieve tension on the spring that way. We need to mark the threads so we get ride hide correct when reinstalling.
You may need an alignment when we are all finished. Camber mostly.

been a while since I've updated.
- My mother backed into my passenger front fender a week or two ago.
- I helped Aaron & Adam do my waterpump/gasket/seals/timing belt stuff today...
- Found out about my epic fail radiator installation. It only has two bolts keeping it on the car atm because I'm an idiot.
- Passed Aaron's leak inspection post-startup
- Forgot about re-installing the undertray, will have to come back for it this week.
- Made it back from a 40 minute ride to the airport in pouring rain on the highway, was even stuck in circling the terminal loop due to my grandma's flight being delayed. Car feels fine.
