I have yet to finalize payment, but 1800cdn.

The 964rs mounts seem to be the upgrade that doesn't introduce massive vibration, but helps with more positive shifts as the engine and tranny assembly are better planted...

I hear....

Do you plan to hybrid the K24's? I purchased a new set of K24's years ago and did the wheel upgrade and it was awesome! No regrets.

I am planning on doing something with the old ones, I have a buggered seal on one.

The reason I am doing it this way is that I want a set of stock turbos in good shape, so I have been looking forward to lowering my oil consumption....

Yea, it's a slippery slope...you do the turbos and then you need injectors and a clutch. The fresh air plenum and inlet pipes really help now....it goes on and on :-)

Pulled out my fuel sender for a couple reasons. For a couple months now, when my tank is approx 1/2 or below and on higher g-force right hand sweeping turns my fuel gauge drops to 0 and I get a fuel level error. It corrects once I am going straight again. I've been meaning to pull the sender to check out if anything was wrong with the fuel level sensor/float. The other thread about checking the wiring pushed me over the edge. Wiring and all hoses looked fine. The level sensor and float also looked fine. I took it all apart and cleaned it. We'll see if it fixes that minor annoyance.

For the first time since surgery, the car finally got a wash - it's first since it was cut polished and ceramic coated it.

I am a fan of ceramics; I used a light soap and I really didn't need it. The finish is like glass, pity it has been put away now for the winter...

There aren't any good days for driving it during the winter?

Yes there will be, however, I have lined up two, possibly three jobs over the next six months, so it is not going to get a lot of love... Best to let it rest...

Made a super cool discovery today while I was applying the last 2 coats of ceramic (now with 5 coats...) - I had a scratch on my passenger that wasn't quite through the clear, bit it was close.

I decided to add a little 'extra' and see what happened - to my amazement it has almost filled the entire scratch, with only the slightest evidence there was a scratch and only with a bright LED work lamp on the door.

I have noticed something similar when I did the windshield (which is the original OEM one with pits...) - it seems like the product filled the pits a little; time ran out and I need some more light on it, but the windshield is notably smoother and seems to shine more.

I even put some on my Ti tips...
