No pics, but got alignment and brake fluid flush done today.

Alignment - Completely stock PP except for SPC camber bolts (bottom hole) and OEM 14mm bolts on the top hole up front. My shop was able to get -2.2 deg on each side up front. Rear is completely stock, so it's stuck at -1.5 both sides with 1/16" total toe in. Outside shoulders on the front tires were taking a beating from the past couple Auto-X events, so hope this will help.

Brake fluid flush - Flushed with ATE Type 200 in prep for track events in the near future.

Rotors Turned, bled the brakes, new pads, and *drumroll* ...changed the spark plugs! All in one day. I am a man now. I am also dirty, bruised, scraped, and slightly poorer. I am so happy I was able to do the plugs!

you know, when my parents where kids, when they got a free tire, they were happy about it.

Got my sensor interface wired and connected to power. I am pulling RPM reference off of coil pack number 1. I have not connected it to my laptop yet to verify it is reading. Tomorrow I hope to daisy chain my gauges to the interface and to my data logger for a dry run to make sure it will record.

Installed Perrin 22mm front sway bar. People say this is a simple 1hr job but they failed to mention all the underbody panels. Removing the skid plate, the transmission aero cover, the two underbody aero covers behind that, and the draw stiffeners made the job a lot bigger than on early MY cars that had nothing underneath.
