Cool. I'm not going to go with master kits though, those things are over rated lol, I already have most of the bushings. All I need is control arm bushings, sway-bar endlinks (I'm going to get adjustable ones from RB) diff and subframe mounts/washers.

Hooked up my S5 TII Power Brake Booster and 929 Brake Master Cylinder.
Made a HUGE difference. Considering how spongey my brakes were before!
Heres a couple pics and WHOA a double rainbow!!

Changed my 500 mile oil. After getting this engine I put in 5w-30 cheapo car quest oil and filter knowing I would be changing it out asap. Finally put in some amsoil 10w-40 and K&N oil filter and it runs much quieter. I can actually hear the injectors ticking now. Warm oil pressure went from 22 psi to 35psi. I think unneeded, but it makes me feel better. It also builds pressure much faster.

Today I hope to put in new TR55 spark plugs, and new wires (if they show up).

I installed my rear carpet and my MSD blaster 2 coils today. Amazing how un-ripped carpet can make something look 10 times better.

New Oil cooler mounts

Finally got new oil cooler mounts completed on both sides of my FD.

The wimpy little mounts that came with the kit were falling apart.

I think they are worth it. The wiring is easy. Just a power to the battery, 2 grounds, and a plug for one of the original headlight sockets. If you get bi-xenon youll have highs and lows. Buy them from www.vvme.com They are actually Hella under a generic Chinese name. My dad has the digital slims in the 260z. He loves them.

Think the total came out to $87 and some change. Too bad the switches didn't fix my non functional passenger window .

BTW- Theres a pull-a-part in Lynnwood with 3 fc's and 2 fb's in the yard... Just letting folks know.
