I got the car started. I burped the coolant and topped off the oil. The process wasn’t too hard with utilizing the BRZ OEM purge port and with using a fill kit. I got super hot air blowing from the heater in 10-15 minutes. The upper and lower radiator felt warm, so hopefully this means the thermostat opened. Water temps seemed stable. I should be able to try to drive the car tomorrow, maybe.

There didn’t seem to be any leaks or anything in the exhaust or IC pipes. There was vibration, but I don’t think anything is rubbing. The vibration might just be expected. It smoothed out with throttle input.

The bolts for the strut tower spacer are too big like a M10 versus a M8 or something. I’ll reach out to the guy.
