The left/right turn signals are in the front bumper. I removed the side markers. I doubt it's illegal considering mostly all newer cars dont have side markers on the front or rear fenders anyways.

Update:
Getting my Griffin aluminum radiator this week. Also getting my first MSD 6AL box, still searching for a good deal on one more. Installing my S5 alternator that I had polished tomorrow. The carb hat and turbo exhaust manifold are cleaned up, polished and ready to go.
Still need to do my fuel pump and FPR upgrade. I'm set on the mallory FPR but can't decide on a fuel pump yet. Trying to go cost effective but something good, hopefully 225lph. Any input or advice would be great.
Not sure if I want to upgrade to a coil over kit and get illuminas before I turbo the car.. just a thought. I'm okay with my RB springs and tokico blues for now. Definitely need to get some new tires though, my Falken Azenis are starting to get worn down and they grab the road way too much, feels unsafe on the freeway. Anyone have a good recommendation for some replacement tires? I'm running 205/50/R15's.

If you felt this grip, you'd be scared. I can't drive normally without holding onto the steering wheel firmly at all times otherwise I risk it pulling hard in one direction and possibly hitting someone!

Nice! Thanks Chris, I'll be sure to ask him about the FPR. Also wanted to tell you was I'm finally getting my hands on one of those CP Racing Strut Bars.. like the one you have. I'm even having it nickle coated just like yours, want that pimp look

Cleaned up the engine bay a bit today. Also decided to pour in some MMO (Marvelous Mystery Oil) in hopes of getting rid of some damn carbon build up. Tons of smoke, was fun. Planning on installing my polished S5 TII alternator this week as well as the 2x MSD 6AL boxes I picked up. Also having my CP Racing strut tower bar nickle coated as we speak! Recorded a quick vid to show the effects of MMO, here ya guys go:

Unfortunately I've hit some bad luck and seems like I'm going to be taking a different route. I've thought for a while that the motor was strong and he is indeed but it seems the coolant seals have been going and they are going fast at this point. I've decided to pick up a S5 TII core motor which I'm having fully rebuilt with new apex seals, full street port, and painted housings. Once it's done, I'm going to drop in the motor and drive it NA for the time being until I can fork out the rest of the money for the turbo setup. I think this will be a good idea and give me time to break in the motor before slapping the turbo on.
I also plan to get the Re-Speed coilover kit and upgrade my Tokico's to illuminas. Still need to upgrade the fuel pump and get an FPR as well. Too much to do, but it's fun all in all. More updated to come.

You call that smoke, that's child's play. When the neighbors come over and ask if they need to call the fire dept., then you have smoke. When you do a burnout 6 blocks from the house and 10 minutes later it's still wafting down the street past the house/shop, then you have smoke. When you redline through 1st and 2nd gear, come to a stop and can't see anything behind OR in front of you, then you have smoke.
Engine bay looks good, keep it up.
