Good to know. This post really was not about build progress though, just more of an introduction like the overall Thread it falls into.

Zepticon, It is not originally black on back. After pulling the dash out, I was able to see that someone left the old tan carpet back there. Cant see it any other way so I'm am 100% OK with it lol.

Yea. I bought the car like most doing very little research about how to properly inspect one before buying. Luckily I learn better after I have already broken something. Another crappy part to this is once that seal went, it wrecked the rotor, housing and then blew itself right into the turbo taking that with it. hahah. I have had the car now for 2 years.
