Build Starts soon, what am I forgetting?

Well, after a long winter of spending all my money gathering parts for my build (putting in a fresh rebuild), I'm anticipating work starting in about two or three weeks (waiting on my vaccuum hoses to arrive).

I've assembled a list of everything that I've purchased, I'm just wondering if anyone can think of anything I'm forgetting...

Koyo Rad
Efini Y-Pipe
ACT Street/Strip Clutch
Lightweight Flywheel
HKS Downpipe
FMIC
A/F meter with wideband O2
NGK Plugs
Wires
99 Spec Front end conversion
Evo-R Headlights
PFC w/ Commander
Hose Techniques Vaccuum hose kit (waiting on shipping)
New Hood (mine was damaged when I bought the car)
Walborough Fuel Pump with Screen
Waterpump
Thermostat
Rad Cap
Viton Check Valves
99 Spec Twin's
Water Injection kit

I'm sure I'm forgetting something (not oil/coolant, etc. I'm just not putting them on the list). If anyone can think of anything else I might need to buy, please chime in, I'd hate to get started and think I forgot something.

AST unless you are eliminating it
All coolant hoses while you've got it all apart
Stainless clutch line
Maybe clean and flow injectors if you are picky

Possibly a front mount depending on what gain's you're looking for too.

I got the banzai engine mounts and oil pan brace, both are excellent. Fully compressed I get very minor vibration and only from dead stop in 1st gear.

Metal front cover, another good item and removes requirement of using orings on front cover.

New FPD or delete and go with an aeromotive/SARD FPD

Fast AIT sensor (wannaspeed sells em i think)

upgraded sway bar mounts (mazdatrix sells em if you can't find widefoot ones)

EBC

Oh, and a datalogit to really open up your options with the Power FC

My passenger headlight motor is burnt out, it's manually raised, I'm tired of driving "eyes open" all the time. I've had terrible luck with pop ups in the past. They're gone.
