Some good news!
First of all, I fixed the coolant leak ... it was coming from the heater fitting just as I suspected.
Secondly, the car was wonderful on a trip to San Diego this past weekend ... ~130 miles each way and it got +25 mpg on the freeway @ 75-80 mph. My best friend's Millennia doesn't even sport that gas mileage. I've been experiencing ~14 city.
Thirdly, the San Diego trip put me right at 1000 miles on the motor. Time to have some fun!!
And to answer a previous question -- I found out that Neptune Speed uses 20W-50 Castrol GTX for break-ins.

Just thought I share my experiences with Neptune as well. Of course, nothing but good words about them.
Yosuke is a friend of mine so I thought I sent my project to them. I have them did the rebuild with new rotors, housings and street ports, as well as installing my GT3574 single turbo kit, fuel system, intercooler, and the whole nine yard. What can I say, FANTASTIC job by them. The enjoy bay turned out just the way I wanted. Most importantly, two of the nicest person you would want to work on your car. Attention to detail and no rush works. I stronglly recommend them to anyone on this forum. Oh, they have good prices as well. =)
Here are some pictures, enjoy! Thanks to Yosuke and Yoshi @ Neptune.

yosuke actually told me that the rotors for your FD were the lighter, high compression rotors too, since that's all they have now that you can purchase new. looks great !

as sam mentioned, Yoshiya at neptune has done the swap for my gtu to a jspec TII. all the work he does is top notch and being that he is very knowledgable in the rotary market and meticulous, it was just the icing on the cake for me in terms of customer satisfaction.
anyone i speak to in regards to tuning and general repair i have no hesitation referring them to Yoshiya.
On top of his A+ work he has a great attitude and work ethic. Customer satisfaction from his work to attitude to overall experience has made me into a lifelong customer.

Man...in the same boat as redat8 and I must say I have full confidence in yoshi's abilities. Im doing a GTU to TII swap and just dropped my car off 2day. Had all my parts supplied and gave him my deposit.

yoshi and yosuke should read this thread.
they deserve to know how they're doing.
or even, make a license plate frame with their name on it.
