Bought TII front brake calipers and a rebuild kit. Also got GSL brake booster and master. As well as another air cleaner with the plastic snorkel piece and a new 3 core aluminum radiator. I also changed all the old fluids in the diff, trans and steering box, and I did some more work with the wiring. I better get back to it. Gotta solder some extensions onto the engine harness.

Almost got the new power antenna installed. Still need to tighten everything up and make sure there are no leaks. I really wish I could order new tail light gaskets.

Theres an engine in there? All I see is a turbo and part of an intake floating in mid air. lol. Looks good.

Finished up my engine and trans harnesses. They are both sleeved and have weatherpack connectors. Tomorrow I can get to work on the main harness after I get back home from my NEXUS interview/interrogation.

Put my, "new to me" clutch and pressure plate in that I got from Bob, gave the car a much needed cleaning after PARC... two weeks ago and then proceded to bandage up all the damage my front bumper took at said drift event. Next Sat. Ninja and I will be back out there giving go-kart guys ride alongs. It should be a lot of fun, I hope the weak stock clutch can hold for a event or two

I removed 2 screws from 1 of my tires and patched the holes. No leaks!!! Bought and assembled some wheel dollies and put the FD on them. Nice to be able to maneuver the car in all directions. Still in the process of gutting the engine bay for paint.

Well I'm really tight right now with cash but couldn't pass up a pair of rx8 seats on ebay for $400 shipped. Black/brown leather ones. So now it's put into motion... Wife may kill me over the new interior look but I'm going to be shooting for this.

Door panels, carbon fiber with Porsche style pull handles in brown leather. The black/brown rx8 seats, along with black/brown leather shift boot. Trying to find the right shift ****, may stick with the Razo I have. Changing my wheel to a Momo style wood.

Also I received 2nd gen fusebox in the mail yesterday so sometime I'm going to get rid of my fuseable links.

Got the engine in monday and drove it for the first time last night. Got it registered today and now I'm all legal and proper.

Next is to figure out why it wants to surge.
