Well a few things for today. I've gotten word that the wheels I originally ordered are not available even directly from Rays in Japan, however the 18x8.5ET44 are. It looks like the wheels should fit so I gave the go ahead for the half inch wider wheels instead. Meanwhile, I went ahead and took out the backseat today and all the junk in the trunk. I've ordered the Shrader Performance rear seat delete kit to make it look prettier than bare metal, and I'll probably modify it with some foam or similar to give it more rigidity per the comments in that thread.
I also received the used oil analysis from Blackstone Labs from the first oil change/service. Nothing is out of the ordinary, as expected. I'll be submitting a UOA for every oil change to maintain historic analysis records.
Now I'm just stuck waiting on parts...
First round of parts arrives on Tuesday, going to be 6-8 weeks for my wheels though and I have to wait on my wheels before installing the brakes in the front (unless I want to throw a spacer in temporarily).
