With boost you need the fuel pump otherwise your performance is going to suffer. I recommend either AEM or Full Blown. I'm running AEM now.

Installed RCE Tarmac 2 coilovers today. I'll give more info and add them to my first post after I actually get a chance to drive on them and also after getting a corner balance alignment. Not sure where I'll go for the alignment yet.

TRD steering wheel installed and added to the bottom of the first post.

Updated bottom of first post with:

I haven't posted in my build thread in a while as I haven't bought any parts in a while. My turn signal relay I had still installed from when I had Tom's Tails finally quit working all together. My signal was stuck on all day at work and my battery was drained. I do not recommend any of the Tom's tail lights based on my issues and many other's issues or with any of the Depo's taillights (Buddy Club, etc...).

Ordered a new relay and red turn signals for the rear. Installed them tonight and they work great.

In other news I dropped out of the top 10 most modded cars on Wheelwell. ;(

Changed my spark plugs today. It was pretty crappy but I got it done in around 4 hours. No engine lifting, just the proper tools to go around corners (elbow ratchet pieces) and the correct sized socket's, extensions, etc. Tight fit but got it done. Started it and it was misfiring so I turned it off, checked all the plugs by pushing then in more and the stupid water pump splitter from the supercharger intercooler that plugs into the fuel injector. It started working fine after all that. I'm not going to like doing this again at 120k miles. Better than spending hundreds on labor alone I suppose.

I'm going back and forth. I may sell it to the right person/price. Unfortunately Californians won't be able to get it to pass emissions since it doesn't have the header cat, only the front pipe cat. Passes Oregon and I assume all others aside from Cali.

Maintenance day. Replaced oil, oil filter, Sprintex supercharger oil, in cabin air filter, drive belt, brake pads, brake rotors, and brake fluid.

When will I get an electric sports car so I don't need to do all this maintenance? As soon as an affordable one is available! Probably won't happen until I retire.
