Did another round of oil changing.(diff, trans, engine)
fitted 3 season wheels with 5mm spacer. They look perfect now. From 43 offset to 38. This bronze color is subtle. Photo out front the shop. Last edited by Elliotw; 02-20-2021 at 12:15 AM. |

Ordered replacement clutch/flywheel for my car. I went with the HKS LA Clutch kit.
Details on the product can be found here: https://www.hksusa.com/products/26010/AT001/1223 Between Winter and COVID my car has maybe driven 10 miles in the last 8 weeks. I went to use it the other day and it barely started(due to weak battery). I bought a CTEK battery tender now to keep the car's battery healthy. |

Hopefully perfect lol . Ive been though so many exhaust iterations on this vehicle. I also have the special STI muffler cushions coming as well. I'll report back after I install it. I am hoping its louder then my Fuji Authorize S but quieter then the nameless 5inch axleback

For fun I put together a mod list. some slight teasers in here that are on order. I hadn't realized the list had gotten so long. My wallet did though
Mods on the car or to be installed
Total: $21,311 Mods uninstalled or to be uninstalled
I hope I didn't forget anything Last edited by Elliotw; 02-19-2021 at 09:14 PM. Reason: added price information |

That sounds like the right way to do it. I was using the ostrich head in sand approach. I figured it was time to come out LOL

Lmao considering I have to be calculated with my spending, it's very wise. Also it let's me know what my budget is if I go down an expensive route, i.e. OEM or high end parts, or a more budget route like knock off brands. Which you've seen my build so you know which route I went lol.

I do have a few more plans once I get the flexfuel sorted. But till I'm done with EMT school and get sent back off the military training, it will have to wait. But that's good because that sweet, sweet, government pay will really help
