Some stuff is apparently coming in today so I can remake my intake. Hopefully I can get started on that tonight and finish up tomorrow.

52mm Mishimoto radiator but no reroute yet. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the OEM CLT sensor the MS is reading is in the back of the head which would be at the warmest end.

I just could not get it out the way the Haynes manual says, which i find wrong stuff in those books all the time, i am going to have to do some digging to figure it out. Struts are only temporary, I will hopefully have fully adjustable coil overs on it with in a yr.
Did you unbolt the spindle assembly from the lower A-arm? It's been a few minutes since the last time I had mine apart but I think I may have loosened the upper A-arm where it bolts to the frame as well. I can't recall at present.

Went to see splittime and bought two isc rear tophats and did a down payment for a rollbar.

yesterday installed some 460cc rx7 injectors, my homemade boost controller, and re-tuned for the improvements.

I changed the gear oil in the transmission and my rear end. I also realized all my shift boots need changing.

Removed factory headrest speaker housings, and stuffed MB Quarts in their place. Loving the ability to actually hear my music on the interstate.
