Well crap...Ive been sort of busy...
Did a double din stereo install with amp and speakers
Then an oil change.
Then I bought an exhaust system where I custom packed the mufflers and had a "guy" cut out the cats. Paid him good money, then he screwed it up so it didn't fit.
So I bought my own pipe pieces and cut and fit a tacked welded it up. Then another welder finished the seams for me.
Install the 2nd gear detent from Gbox while it's in the air and just pulled my tranny mount to fill with urethane.
in the last 4 days, I heated and pried open my headlights to custom paint them.
I hope to have my new exhaust back on this weekend...the real kicker is when I pulled off my old exhaust system (1st gen FVD exhaust) I found it had gutted cats afterall...wow.
Then straight to the shop for bigger injectors and OEM FPR. I want to be done working on it for a while.

did something none of the previous owners/'pro' shops did...take bumper off and clean rads 
probably removed over 5lbs of debris, driver side rad isn't looking happy(pic hiding dirt/issues),
Hope the all-aluminum rad idea comes through soon...

If you plan on tracking your car, I suggest using heavier rated springs.
KWs sit low. In my case I had to trim (front) and remove (rear) bumpstops to allow more travel.
Buy some good adjustable drop links front (curved for the AWD turbo) and rear. TRG, Tarret, etc.

I'll share a very similar picture. Appointment at BBI set up next week for install and setup. Going with Tarett drop links and rear toe links.

Street setup, no track planned. Debating on whether I should do rear upper control arms to get a bit more life out of the rear tires...
