Hadn't updated the thread in a while.

I've been super busy on the car lately, though!

I had to purchase a replacement R154 because it turned out 1st and 2nd gear were bad in the tranny I bought a few years ago. That sucked.

Here's an update engine bay shot:



I ended up having to sell the Rays Gramlight wheels to help pay for my upcoming 5-year vow renewal for my wife and I.

Lucky for me, I have an awesome boss who just so happens to have a spare set of track RPF1's with 275/35/18 Toyo R888's that he hasn't used in a long time.

The tread is worn even for R888's which start with really low tread, so they're not particularly safe for long-term use, but at least for getting a tune a few drives to/from work or maybe a Caffeine and Octane or two...they'll be fine.

Here's a pic of the FD as she sits right now in the garage after I spent about 10 hours last weekend tweaking my front-bumper to fit just right. :]



Since I'm sure everyone is curious at this point....Yes, the car does run AND drive now.

Here's a nice video of me in my neighborhood. She's untuned and sputtering like a herpa-derp, so I gotta be gentle. lol

My wife is awesome, isn't she? lol

My wife's comments about "Not on those wheels" is because of the Toyo R888 tires being uber sticky tires that I couldn't drift on even if I was stupid enough to try. lolol xD

So yeah!

Over these next couple weeks I'll be working primarily on wiring. Speedo, tach, that kinda stuff.

There's really not much else to do.

I need an oil-catch can, coolant overflow reservoir, and a turbo blanket...that's about it parts-wise.

Everything else is just a matter of me cleaning things up. Adding some more grounding wires, cleaning up the wiring in general, etc.

You guys will probably see me on the roads some time in January or February!

Look for me on Highway 92 in the Woodstock/Roswell area!

hahaha
