Twitterpated about recent / pending updates...
Got in the drilled Zimmerman rotors, fronts are on, rears go on tomorrow. Dropped in new Timken outer bearings while in there, even though I replaced the bearings 2 years ago.
Awaiting 2 new burgundy seat skins, and a GAHH headliner, local upholsterer to do the install.
Picked up a halotron extinguisher here on RL.
Got in the 2 new rear decklid shocks, installed them tonight. The old setup was fine for the non-tail lid, but with the Carrera tail, not so much - wouldn't even pop off the latch. Well, turns out there is only a driver's side bracket on the firewall, so I rigged a new setup with a pair of bolts & some rubber grommets to run a pair on one side. Works great, pops off the latch & holds up the lid when opened.
Ordered the chin spoiler this week, waiting on that one to come in - with luck, for this weekend.
New engine / trans mounts arrived, waiting on the shelf for the time being, will see about swapping those out shortly if Clutch / Trans rebuild funds appear in the slush fund.
Speaking of slush fund, just about drained it today - had a great telecon with Steve Weiner at Rennsport today. A whole new suspension's on the way in - new Bilsteins, ER poly-bronzes, hollow torsion bars, strut mounts, bushings, turbo tie rods, ball joints, etc.
Like I said, "just about" drained... just enough for that Steve Wong chip & DME update.
Poor is good. Happy P-Car is great.

Nice.
I've got fabspeed cat bypass, M&K muffler, tensioners, pads, rotors, braided lines, turbo tie-rods, etc.. all arrived in the last couple of days.
BUT. I just had surgery to fix a trigger finger and can't work on the car for aprox 10 days. I'm going NUTS!!
