Yes it does! I'm finally at the point where all the work feels worth it.

Car has been running good since I got it on the road! Good safe solid afr's. ~12.1 at idle, 14.5-15.0 cruising, nice linear drop to ~11.7 at full boost. Getting a consistent 18mpg combined with spiriting driving.

only issues left are no cruise control, no a/c, a small oil leak from one of the oil cooler lines and the clutch is on its way out. I have replacement a/c o-rings, oil cooler lines and Exedy clutch/pressure plate on hand though, just no time to do the work.

that being said, the car is for sale, $15k on stock wheels. I'll post a link to the for sale thread as soon as its approved

Car is sold! I was very happy with the build so is the new owner. The car is clean, quick, reliable and runs cool as can be. The new owner plans on continuing the same path I had for the car. And I am back to working on my FC and re5 projects.

New owner here. Glad to see such a great build thread and I will be continuing with a similar "reliability" mindset.

She's been great! Posting a question now to the main 3 Gen thread.

Quick question, did you ever finish the simplified sequential with block off plates and all? How about the air pump? Hopefully we will meet again.

No I ended up doing a full vacuum job without simplification. Air pump was left in place, unplugged
