Thanks guys. Hopefully have it running by this weekend. I have securely mounted the oil cooler, and will hopefully mount the PS cooler by tonight. Tomorrow I will be getting the new tires mounted to the wheels as well as re-mounting the FMIC, routing the PS and oil cooler lines, bleeding the fluids (PS, brakes), adding new fluids (MT90, RL Heavy Duty Shock Proof, Oil). Hopefully mounting the bumper back on Sunday morning and driving around tuning and diagnosing Sunday afternoon. I should be posting pics, but killed my Android a couple weeks ago. Pre-ordered the S4 coming in a week or so... WOOT!

My buddies are gonna be building me a custom single exist exhaust and a battery box for the trunk in June.

Didn't get it done because life happened....

Anyways, completed brake fluid change/bleed, power steering cooler hooked up 100% and mounted, axles hooked torqued, diff fluid switched.

Almost there....

Car is now running! and moving around. Still need my buddy to build me a new exhaust. I think I may have a rear main seal leak though. I see a few drops coming out where the bellhousing meets the engine.... dropping a tranny with jackstands? ugh idk lol

I had to fix an oil leak from my sandwich plate adapter and relocate the oil cooler because it got in the way of the IC pipes. In the middle of switching seats to a Corbeau A4 (mostly the buckle now)... from 70lbs to 36lbs! 34lb reduction in just the driver seat alone! Once I get my new single can exhaust, I hope to save more.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I also found an O2 sensor underneath my driver's seat that appears to be hooked up to the car somehow...

Haven't posted in a while but fixed 95% of all my electrical issues over the winter and the car is almost ready to see track duties. Only things not fixed are the length of some of the wires.... could be cleaned up a little more, but functionally works great. My weird issue where I was blowing out taillight fuses everytime I turn on the headlights is gone!
Also completed the following over the winter:
-valve cover gaskets
-new optima "red" battery mounted securely in trunk
-New pcv
-remounted intercooler
-began serious paint restoration (lots of work but shine is coming back! )
-removed wing and repainted the trunk (not my best work, fixing body work sucks)
-secured everything in engine bay
-started fixing the tune of the car (is it just me or does AEM v1 "forget" the tunes)

My car is running beautifully and I have basically been dailying it for several weeks. So far no hiccups... knock on wood...

Also I forgot to add:

Installed Supra TT sway bars
Installed tein circuit spec type re coilovers (for supra tt)

Car is handling very nicely, but still doesn't feel as "sporty" as my Supra despite having "racing" spec coils
