indeed, of all the things that could go wrong,

I dropped the air bleeder valve screw while trying to burp the coolant after installing the koyorad radiator. I spent hours trying to find it to no avail, a replacement should be in tomorrow.

** June 27th

Received Vortech, started the install, was up until 2am working on the car.

** June 28th

Continued the install at 5pm, called it quits at 4am when the Tune failed to flash onto the car

** June 29th

Got a new Tune file from @Visconti , managed to lose the air bleeder screw for the radiator system while burping it , ordered a new one from subaru

** July 4th

Received the air bleeder screw, finished burping the radiator, drove the car around a lot pictures and more info coming soon

Installed Chargespeed knock off side skirts and front lip. Installing these goes much much easier if you pick up 3 packages of 3m 20lb double sided tape and run the tape everywhere.

Let me know about the pro kit. If you get Brady to put on the new coil overs you're getting I'll come pick them up then. Would be interested so I could just swap them out.
