picked her up on friday from phr 
ended up going with phr's power steering reservoir, coolant reservoir, and breather.. never knew an lines were so goddamn expensive
setrab power steering cooler mounted right behind the grille
4" downpipe with vband to a custom y pipe for the phoenix power exhaust... excellent fab work by phr
pulled out the taillights from storage to install them, but i cant figure out the wiring - its not a straightforward pos/neg for each bulb.. it might take me some time. the connections are labeled.. but in japanese. lol
test fitted the equips. they arent the sizes or offsets vr wheels stated - ive heard stories about them doing this, unfortunately
they are a little sunken in the rear and poke a little up front, but i guess ill just run full tires out back (305?) and a little stretch up front. worst case scenario i have to get smaller lips for the front wheels. they clear the brakes though, which was my main concern.
ill be taking her back to phr in about 6-8 weeks though for additional tuning, new front brakes & hurst brake lock, and a flex fuel setup so i dont have to be dependent upon e85.

after getting to drive the car a bit, i have to say the solid bushings were a good idea. everything seems so.. solid now. they didnt ruin the ride like i dreaded they would, they enhanced it. it definitely feels sportier and nimbler.
some pics from tx2k dyno day. i will post more as i find them.

Really looking foreward to seeing the tails installed; Are you putting the Racepak inside the cluster later, or some sort of enclosure?
Also, did you end up getting that one thing that I PM'd you about a bit ago?
Btw, Equips will be a great addition, nice choice.
