Today I finally got around to putting the amsoil in the tranny and diff.
the stock noise generator fitting works great for filling the tranny. Attached to a piece of hose from the engine bay and pressed into the trans it makes for an easy one man job.
As for filling the diff an old dish soap bottle makes for a great solution to filling the diff.

I have to say. For me the wheels looks a litle small(for my taste), I think the retro look works so well with the car. Nice wheel choice

Ya I think I would have preferred a bigger wheel as well.

I actually like how these look. Nice proportions and they fill out the wheel well. Not some pencil thin sidewalls on oversized rims, that is so 2012.

I've been thinking about these wheels or a similar look. Either this or something like the te37.

It looks great. The tires are probably a little cheaper too.

thanks, no point in destroying a performance car so you can put big wheels on it.

I did mean that as compliment. I can appreciate peoples different styles with have to be in love with them. I was also thinking of a retro wheel for mine. Just maybe and inch or two bigger. I look forward to your updates.
