More stuff!
Some Neo Gear Oil. After quite a bit of reading, I decided this is what I wanted to try.
I had Aerocatch pins on my last hood and they worked great but I decided to go with something a bit smaller that involved less cutting this time around.
Got the final bits in for my Oil Cooler setup which I'm looking forward to trying out!
Uh...also new NGK's all the way around!

So after getting my new NS Setup and Engine in....Ruler Mark completely trolled me and offered me a single turbo setup out of one of his cars...I know...I just *KNOW* that A-hole waited on purpose to do this.
So...I am now the proud owner of the A-Spec 500R setup out of his Digicamo car.
Apart from that been acquiring MORE parts (my God does it ever end?) and actually installing others.
In no real order: 99 Spec Turns, some good brake fluid, brake caliper retaining clips, new plug wires, getting my coolant lines in and of course the most important...new hood stoppers...good for about 5HP!

Losing waaaaaaaaaay too much money not being back in Tampa. After 7 months...it's time to go back so prepping the car to move back down to Tampa to finish it at my home there.
Pulled out NS Twins (FU Mark) to prep for single. Installed Banzai diff brace.

Pulled studs out of engine block and mounted the Aspec 500r. It was modified by the previous owner to fit a custom Vmount setup. I really don't like what was done and dislike the fitment in the engine bay with the housing. Whenever the turbo gets rebuilt in a year or two I will probably pick up a new housing and set it up the way I'd like.

Hooked up the Header/DP and my midpipe + trans tunnel braces today. Took off my front sway bar and mounts in anticipation of my AWR mounts arriving tomorrow. Possibly hurt Phil Sohn's feelings trying to offer advice on the DGRR website on Facebook. He's such a nice guy...haha.
