Well i drove it yesterday a good while yesterday for its christmas gift

The car was blocked for a good month so i didnt really have the time nor the will to move the car blocking it out of the way to drive the car. Plus we had some crappy weather past 2 weeks anyway. Now the blocking car is finally gone and yesterday was too nice out, not too cold and all the snow/ice finally melted so i took it for a spin.

But it gave me a gift back, a CRACKED AST LOL

I replaced an ast hose last week, thinking that was the reason why coolant was spilling after car was warmed up but after yesterdays' drive, i looked carefully and it as the bottom rim of my AST that was cracked. I guess the weld finally gave in after 3 years lol

So i bought a new one, and waiting for the part now

I didn't purposely get these items for Xmas but it just all appears so since I got all shipments around this XMas since my car was down since July but is about to awake from a 6 month slumber. I bought new wheels back in July but a few days later, the car would be under the knife for the next several months so....it's Xmas gift so to speak. Since then, I had an "excuse" to buy parts since the car was down and perfect opportunity to do so:


18" Volk GTS Diamond Black
Volk CF Center Caps, Lugnuts and License Plate
Pirelli PZero M+S Tires
Racing Beat Dual Tips Catback
Shine FEED CF Skirts
'99 Lip
PIAA Sporza CF Wipers (LoL)
Misc. little things
Complete Hose Techniques vacuum replacement
Complete OEM coolant hose changed

...and thanks to Rich for the following:
Ceramic Coated UIM
Ceramic Coated WP Housing
Ceramic Coated Efini Y-pipe
Ceramic Coated Filler Neck
Polished/Rebuilt Alternator
Polished Throttle Body
Polished WP
Polished Misc. Brackets

I wish I could list some of the awesome items in this thread, but with a wife and kids plus an extended family to spend money on that wasn't possible. The wife bought me the efini emblems I've been wanting and the armrest console to replace the ashtray.
