Last time it was on a lift I could see there was some carbon buildup around the engine-side flanges. It hasn't affected the tune and I don't hear anything like a leak so I think it's ok.

New issues are oil leak related. The top of the turbo again, and now the fitting on a pipe coming out of the return pump. My belly pan was covered in dried oil residue. Again, small leaks that haven't affected my oil levels noticeably though.

That was just a Touch up Job. I want to start fully detailing my self as I have found no one can detail as good as your own self

Been a long while since I posted an update here. I seem to only ever be able to do these updates in a really big way at a time lol. I recently purchased a large bundle of parts from a friend who was parting out his BRZ. This included the following:

- Mach V Wicked Awesome x4 18x9.5 (not sure on offset)
- Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 265/35R18
- HSD Coilovers
- Rear LCAs
- Carbon Fiber driveshaft
- Rear diff brace
- The brembo brake kit from the TRD Griffon (yes I'm serious)

We installed all the parts over the course of a few days and then I got an alignment done at PTuning. So yeah, pics!

The first night we only had enough time to put on the front setup. Fortunately the rears fit fine with stock struts (huge surprise).



The rear diff brace fits nicely with the gold theme, as if anyone would ever see it.



Driveshaft installation was a breeze. Car peed a little bit of trans fluid but that wasn't a big deal.



Had to disassemble the E brake drums to swap them. The brembo kit requires that the dust shield be cut off, so we swapped the assemblies between cars.



And here was the end result after everything was installed.



Need to take some more pics or find ones from the Mach V open house. Maybe @Mach V Dan has some he could share.

After cleaning up the wheels they looked really nice.



I'll update the main post later. I also have some rally armor mudflaps that look pretty damn aggressive.
