Gotcha. I would atleast replace all the chains at this point even it there is not a problem visible because the engine is already apart and its not that much to do at this point. Chains stretch over time.

That's what we're doing.

Well the Tein Comfort Sports were discontinued. So I've been researching this past whole week and opted for the KW Variant 3 Coilovers. Hopefully will hear back from PowerFab next week on availability.

PowerFab might have a set of KW Variant 3's in stock. Also going to add the SPL front upper arms, rear camber links and eccentric lockout kit.

Impressive build for an already impressive car. Your progress is looking really good. How much did it cost to coat your pistons? I've always wanted to do mine but, never got around to it. From your research, other then the stated benefits from it did you find any independent study on this?

Thanks. The coating was $250. Only research I did was talking with my tuner and engine builder separately. They both agree its an added insurance.

I believe installation is starting this week. The KW V3's as well as the '06+ LightWerkz headlights shipped out. Also added the SPL front upper arms, rear camber arms and eccentric lockout kit. Oh and my Toyo R888's were delivered yesterday to EVS Motors. Still no word back on my HRE's.

Looks like everything is getting closer to completion. The KW coil overs should be delivered today at PowerFab. Just received pictures of the headlights; http://www.lightwerkz.net/news/2012/...lear-lens-mod/ Now if I can just get my damn Entry-Visa so I can come home and enjoy my car it would be perfect!
