I just changed oil and filter, the fuel filter, spark plugs,air filters and cleaned the MAF's three days ago. Two days ago, I put on some brand new tires for it, Bridgestone Potenza Sports.

AND...today I received my new Koni shocks and struts as well as both pre-cat O2s.

O2's I will replace right away but I want to redo the complete rebuild before throwing them on.

some stuff
A while back I changed my Nav knobs, Flushed coolant, transmission fluid, finished brake duct mod finally, and last weekend I painted my brake calipers for fun since they were getting a bit rusty anyway.

Did oil filter mounts with the mounts from vibrationmounts.com today. Also did the power steering reservoir mounts too as I was there. Man were my mounts in bad shape. The oil filter ones were split and melted onto the holder; needed some WD40 to get it loose.

Also did a detail to get rid of the swirls. It was bad on this car, especially since Jet Black shows everything. Got up to an 80% correction on most panels but I need a more aggressive compound to get rid of deeper swirls.

Over a few weekends I've reinforced one of the boot trims so I could mount my amp.

It turned out great







Tidying the wiring is the next job!

Just a simple wash and wax but I also tried to clean the pipes for the first time. Interesting.

Sprayed my grills with plastidip spray - 4 coats - then re-installed them after a fresh wash of the car. Looks amazing IMHO.

Gotta give it to plastidip - easy to use, very nice finish. It looks perfect from 5 feet and you can barely see a bit of crinkle in it when holding it in your hand, and I did no prep work, sprayed it with some wind in the background, and we have pollen flying around like crazy. Plastidip don't care.

Re-relocated the IATS to the location suggested/recommended by UFmotorsport and Evolve

Real world test tomorrow to see the difference in readings.
