Once I get a nice job (just got back from service) I will most likely be interested in the intake runners and oil pan. Perhaps even the mounts, so I can make a set of solid ones without too much trouble

Sweet thanks for the specs bro! I appreciate it

New Sport grille

After futile attempts to clean/polish the oxidation from the honeycomb pockets in the OEM grille, I decided to go for an updated look with the sharp-looking Sport grille. A bit pricey at $185 but way better looking. 10 mins total to pop the old one out, trim 2 tabs with a knife and snap the buttons back in.

Sunday - installed new plugs: IFR7G11KS. Checked the valves - all in spec. Installed my new suspension: Tanabe Sustec Pro . Not all the way down, but pretty close. The car is still my daily driver with a daily average of 80 miles. Already aligned with camber set at -0.8 deg.

Wheel specs are 17x7.5 +40 with 205/40 tires for those curious. No rubbing whatsoever with just trimming the little liner tab in the front and a manual pull of the fender (maybe 1/4 to 1/2" at the max), and a very slight rolling in the rear to just tuck up the top edge of the rolled lip.

Volk TE37 15x7 +43 , tires are 205/55r15s seasonals, lowering the car more and switching the tires to 45 series once the snow is all gone!

Not done today but about 3 weeks ago. I had the LS460 projectors retrofitted. And incase these lights mess up, I still have my old setup with the TL projectors. So far I really enjoy these projectors, nice width and brightness. Although I will say that the TL had a more intense hotspot than the LS one.
