Put on newly purchased Stance coilovers (thanks Rishie@AutoRND). Mounted powdercoated t2 wheels. Installed cusco upper front and rear strut bars(rear was fun with the cutout). Added modernized tails with new center piece. Was a long but very rewarding day for my fc. Next week is the exhaust and rear diff.

re:

Spent Friday afternoon and most of Saturday and Sunday removing all of the neccessary pieces so that I can install my new alumnium radiator and y-pipe. Feeling pretty comfortable taking it apart now which is a really nice feeling. Hopefully, my new gaskets will be here for the y-pipe this week and I can start putting humpty dumpty back together again.

Spent the day pulling off all the EGI system and all the emissions from my SE 13b, then removed the starter and tranny. Pulled the lim and gave it a long thorough scrubbing and scraped all the deposits out, pulled the port actuators and then pulled off the acv and both sets of linkage for the ports. Also pulled the sleeves out. Pulled and cleaned oil injectors, then pulled the PP to have a look at the clutch. Flywheel is in so/so shape and PP was scored pretty good. clutch pieces fell out when I took off the unit, so I grabbed a good clutch and PP I had extra ad installed it. My stainless 13b to 12a front mount came today from RB, so when my injector plug kit gets here............ the FB is going 13b. I'll finally get to install my new inovate wideband and afm gauge and my new oil pres. oil temp and water temp gauges too. After that I'll finish my stereo install and I'm done! (for now) LMAO

I'm pretty shure all rotarys are a never ending project. but thats what I like about mine, Keeps me busy and out of trouble. well most of the time, I'm pretty shure I can make eather of them find trouble very fast.

Today I put some gas in the tank as I do every day, and bought her some oil. but other than that I just went out and looked at them a few times. wispered sweet nothings to them.

You know what women have in common with rotarys? There exaust is too close to the intake.

Found a bolt and cleaned the inside of the Turbo II Transmission bellhousing. OMG! That was a pain.
