yeah I love the new wheels. I’ll be honest I loved the HRE wheels a lot more but at the end of the day I was able to sell them for a great price and helped a guy complete his skyline paul walker tribute car so it all worked out. The blue and orange is great. Might do a few more orange accents but nothing too crazy.

I don't get onto the computer very often. I usually only do CL from my phone. It's so much easier to type and let everyone know whats going on this way! I'll have to do this more often.
So here we go with some updates:
Auto TT LSD installed
Customer 3" exhaust with Greddy mufflers installed
flex a lite dual fans installed
flex fuel sensor installed
spoke with Cam at Tweak'd for about an hour today... SUCH AN AWESOME AND KNOWLEDGEABLE GUY! and my harness should be done in a day or two. He made some updates to my harness and added the connections for my aem boost solenoid, BTI gauge, flex fuel sensor, and located the wideband sensor to come through the floor hole for the rear O2
Turbo lines for coolant and oil are being made
Car will be at Sound Performance on 2/27 for tuning if all goes well
Added a TRD strut tower bar
TRD oiil cap is on its way
It's getting oh so close! Stay tuned!!

Spoke to Cam at Tweak'd yesterday and the harness is on it's way to me. It will be here Wednesday 2/14.
Spoke to Larry at Sound Performance. He is working on a start up map for me for my stand alone so I can get the car started next weekend and make sure everything is good to go for him on the 27th. He is going to tune the car on 93 pump gas and then switch to e85 and tune it.
I just have some minor odds and ends to tend to this week. Need to install my coolant overflow bottle, get my oil feed line for the turbo installed, add a vacuum line to inside the cabin to connect to my ecu, put a wrench on EVERYTHING to ensure nothing was missed in the process, install my boost solenoid, run wiring from ecu to fuel pump, install wideband, install starter wire and ground to the block, wire clutch pedal and reverse lights, and install coolant return line for turbo. Install wiring harness. Then add fluids, cross my fingers, and crank it! Should have a start up video next Sunday 2/18.

This isn't much help now, but I've found the sharpie oil based paint markers to be very helpful for long term projects. I use them to sign off/mark all the bolts that have been torqued to spec.

Have you thought about refinishing the hood latch and all the bolts for the radiator, latch, and cooling plate to the same shade of black?
