oh yeah, brownie points and funding to someone who goes up to pull-a-part and snags me the rear calipers off that s5 coupe they have/had...and judging from the inventory screen, they still have it, and after reading hte pricing...ill cough up 40bucks for the calipers >.>

well as gensai's not bringing the FD you should be able to keep up regardless as there aren't that many long straights.
And parts wise ive already stated, 1 left rear and 1 right rear brake calipers from the FC they have up there, it should be a S5 model and hopefully the calipers are the ones that reside over the vented rotors, which is the style i need anyway. The caliper itself should have 'ribs' along the top as opposed to being 'smooth' along the top.

That car hates me. Really, I think it's still feeling the effects of abandonment from this summer's... crap. It's kinda like that dark rebellious phase that a kid goes through after an ugly divorce. I did start it the other day though. It ran until I revved it up, then the carb got a bit dry. Definitely that fuel pump. Maybe I'll do that thing weekend.
