JEGS should have it
*Whiteline bushings installed in front lower control arms.
*Had crashbar modified so I can use it with the intercooler. Still need to mod it so the tranny/oil coolers will mount where I want them to.
*Had the tops of the GT-Spec fender braces shaved down so they won't hit the fenders, those will be going on shortly.
*Continuing on wire tuck now that everything is easily accessible.
And managed to make a mess in my garage with the fluids.

Tonight I installed the MREV2 and SxExCx's polished coolant and power steering tanks. The MREV2 was easy, but finding a spot to mount the tanks, and to actually get them bolted down was kind of a pain. The pics I saw had the washer fluid tank removed, which would've made some more room, but I decided to keep that....not really sure why, but I did.

Well it didn't necessarily happen today but...
We changed out the spark plugs, started at 6:30pm and finished at 4am.
The day before that we changed out all the bulbs to LED's, from license plate lights to reading lamps to projector LED reverse lights, etc.
The car now runs and looks beautiful!!
On a side note, when I changed the air filter, the old one came out really really dirty. I didn't do a ECU reset when I changed it and when I started the car and reved it with the new air filter in, it sounded like a monster. Then after cruising around it sounded like normal again. I'm guessing this was because the ECU figured out it can breathe easily again and didn't have to suck so hard anymore?? haha

Changed the oil on my 04' today. For some reason I was getting paranoid about OC after all of the threads that have popped up lately but at 66xxx miles I put 5qts in and got 4.9 qts out after 3500 miles. big weight off my shoulders.
On a side note, got some F20mm/R25mm spacers installed to make my OE 18's a little less Titanic... Also finally got the Blizzaks off the rear and got some Continental Extreme GT's.
Nothin major though...

9 1/2 hours to change plugs, wtf. I did mine in less than an hour.
