It seems that I'm lazy, so the rear bumper exhaust garnish, and the muffler delete, will have to wait. I managed to cruise over 300 miles yesterday, though. The car feels stellar in stock form. I'm excited to feel what another reduction of ~20 lb of rotational mass will feel like on this platform.

I'm scheduled for Saturday, to change the oil, and inspect the undercarriage. I have all of the tools, and now the knowledge, necessary to perform the oil change. I'll take pictures of the undercarriage, in case I have any questions to ask. Then, I'll order the first batch of modifications, and anything else that may be required.

I changed the oil, and inspected the undercarriage.





It appears that there are quite a couple of leaks that need to be addressed. That will be the next task that I need to take care of...






I don't know how the lower control arm bushings are supposed to look after almost 200k miles. The front inner tires are wearing prematurely, though. In the meantime, I'll continue driving sparingly.

1) Repair transmission pan leak
2) Repair rear differential leak
3) Replace the rear bumper exhaust garnish
4) Swap in the muffler delete
5) Order the Sikky rear sway bar kit
6) Order the RR Racing USRS kit

The square wheel setup will have to wait until the lower control arm bushings are situated.
