I put the factory cup holder where the HVAC panel used to be and pulled the PCB out of the DSP to gaffers tape it inside the console so the HVAC can be where it used to be. The cup holder was spectacularly difficult to fit for me. It took longer than replacing all the SAI valves! But, eventually, a long screw driver and some long deck screws helped me get everything in place.
After not touching the car for a month while I finished disassembly and getting my part out car out of my garage - I finally got my car situated for the long, cold New England winter.
Up on stands, wheels off and battery removed. Went over the car and made my list of mods and general work I need to do over the winter. I am sure it will grow but will keep me making progress as time allows.
As much as winter sucks, it does allow for an opportunity to reflect on the current state of the car and down time to work on it without having to worry about a deadline.

Winter isn't so bad but 5 or 6 degrees cooler would be better for wrenching.
50deg or lower and I don't work outside.
That's just too cold for me.
Luckily today it's in the 60s.
I can stand wrenching in a short sleeve shirt...in the garage...with the door shut.
I attempted the AOS/crankcase vacuum measurement again after finding that I put the fitting in the cap in a position that didn't allow a complete seal, resulting in a vacuum leak at the cap. The value on reply 4359 is wrong. 95K mi, 20K miles on AOS, 5W40 oil, engine at op temp, at idle
Too warm for wrenching so I went for a drive instead.
Then I came home to hook up the Durmetric to figure why my airbag light was on after doing coil packs and sparkplugs.
Supply voltage and driver belt buckle...??
Cleared the codes and I'll see what happens next time I drive it.
I got that driver buckle warning once. Shot some electrical cleaner in the buckle and it never came back. I was stationed in San Diego way back when....it was nice. Used to drive my MGB up in the San Jacinto mountains on the weekend and camp back in the forest roads.
We have a serious deer problem here as well - They're literally everywhere (especially in my neighborhood but for the most part, the entire east end of the island)... Drivers beware!
