I figured it's was time to change the valve cover gasket and check some valve clearances. I also changed the plugs out. Those NGK plugs didn't last long. I ended up picking up a set of Denso plugs. All of my intake valve clearances were off and the #1 exhaust valves were off. and thats at 155,856 miles.
Haven't updated my Build on Here since 2014. ahha
Picked up some New Wheels:
Buddy Club P1 16x7 +42
BF Goodrich Comp2s 205/50
Switched out retros LS460Rs to TLs.
Spoon Rep Mirror.
Swapped out the Mugen Rep Visors to Legit ones. (not pictured)
I also have couples of more parts laying around that i need to install.
But liking the way its currently sitting.

Notice any change from the reps to OEM mugen Visors?
Loving your brake setup. Wilwood calipers with project Mu rotors? How does it feel in comparison to stock?

The reps I had didn't say Mugen also didn't have clips like the legit ones.
Was able to get a set for under retail.
As for brakes I haven't used stock in a while. Before this I was running S2K rotors and calipers.
I think I like that set way better than wilwoods. Haha
But yes rotors are Poject Mu.

Woaah this forum is starting to come back to life. Awesome.
Mike, how difficult was reaching the plugs? I wanna do basically the same things you did soon. Im at almost 145000km now.
The plugs are easy, remove cowl. Now to do the valve clearance check and valve cover gasket, you have to remove the intake manifold. Its easy as well. the hardest part is measuring the exhaust valve clearance (I didn't take the cowl off).
Thats assuming your an above average mechanical skills. If you mechanical skills are so, so, it will take longer.
Mine are probably just average. Its my first car so i havent done any of those things besides the plugs on my other car. Surprised you could do that with the cowl on.

the air box is like the size of a mini transmission. once that thing is remove, you have so much room to play with.
