Alcantara wheel made by Prova.

I bought mine used locally. Their site and most retailers indicate they're discontinued, but Japan Parts still has it on their site, so maybe they have some left? They're definitely kinda pricey when new...

Put on the OEM mudflap kit and some Drambeenie risers. I like how the latter look, but I don't think I got the fit quite right or something.

Hardly something to keep me up at night at this point, but we'll see how it does when we get a real cold snap in a month or so.

i mean ive driven with the motul at -35c it isnt much worse than at freezing

he is using a blend is my guess. I normally use 5-6 gals per fill up of e85 to keep and e45-55 range.

Installed my VEMS wideband gauge! I pinned the connector after routing it along the firewall for a clean install.
The gauge has a separate input for EGT, boost, boost control, etc. I may try to configure it for oil pressure, we'll see.

True, but so worth it. Not a daily, so it is easy to prioritize fun drives in it vs. using it to just get from point A to B. Don’t get me wrong, 93 is great fun in this car as well. In fact, can’t think of a time I did not enjoy driving it.

Order some goodies:

Whiteline Transmission Mount Bushing Insert and Perrin Support insert combo
Mtec Spring kit
OE 2017 rear sway bar
Pedders Offset camber/caster top hats

Can't wait to get all these installed.

Finished some various minor interior stuff I've been putting off for a long time. Made a bracket to mount a fire extinguisher and the passenger seat occupancy sensor (so I don't get an airbag light with the passenger seat removed); sewed together a transmission tunnel cover out of car carpet

OLM spats.
Spent 2 hours fighting with the MFing fender liner and junk. Then read on here that a guy took a 3/8 drill bit and made his own holes, used the car's hardware and threw away the included junk. Done in 5 minutes.

Ahhhhh ........ YES, the Bubba method -

Installed one of these DSS alu driveshafts. Got it used locally for a good price and thought why not. This is the only pic I have of the thing

Also while I was at the mechanic, they told me I mounted two of my wheels the wrong way. Didn't realize they were directional. That explains the weird handling which is now completely resolved. Embarrassing

DarkPira7e · 11-13-2020, 07:21 PM

Damn, your trunk is clean. Post a review of the driveshaft!
