My Girlfriend surprised me with these this morning:

She asked me to get the Sodas out of the trunk of the car.

I found one of my wheels is cracked in two places :/. We had a big rain storm awhile back and a giant puddle was hiding a curb. I pulled over after I hit it and couldn't find any damage. That is because I didn't check the wheel. Pictures later. So I can either replace the one(Which is tempting) or replace the full set.

I am really liking the Fifteen52 Tarmac's

I like the Tarmacs too! They somewhat remind me of Regamaster Evos surprisingly, and Regamaster Evos look great on our platform (given if atleasy 17x9 in size).

I got word that my Turbo Kit will be shipped the 18th. It will suck waiting, but there was an update to the kit that I will be receiving. That is awesome.

I am currently trying to decide what to upgrade while I have everything apart. I am thinking about upgrading the Radiator and adding an oil cooler. This will push back the install date a couple weeks, but I think it will be worth it. This will also give me time to wrap the exhaust parts and make sure everything looks good before I jump into it. I also plan on taking some time off from work just to give some time just in case something goes wrong.

DustinS · 05-07-2015, 04:22 PM

Well. I just accepted a full time position at my part time job, and will be leaving my full time job. So updates will come MUCH slower than the currently slow rate. I will have more time to enjoy the car, just less money to spoil it with.

Still waiting on the turbo kit to ship, and deciding on the next more critical upgrades before money starts slowing down. Life can sometime throw some very hard curve balls.

Motiv overpipe and front pipe went on today. I bought them from a friend who traded his FRS in for a WRX. Unfortunely it is a catted front pipe, but oh well. Sounds really good, seems to bring through a better sounding exhaust note at higher RPMs. Pictures as soon as I get to my computer tonight.

DustinS · 05-19-2015, 02:51 AM

Well the turbo kit ship date has been pushed back a week due to the updated design. So in my sad state I made poor financial decisions and ordered more parts!! Yay!! Full Blown Radiator, Grimmspeed Hood Struts, Spencer Fabrication Radiator Relocation Brackets, DEI Titanium Exhaust Wrap. AMSoil 5w-30 is being shipped to my independent dealer then I will pick that up.

Racer-X just released their oil cooler kit, which I plan on ordering next pay period along with Racer-X Cam Plate. Don't want to order too many things at once

.

I also need to look at ordering a AOS. Possibly Racer-X?

There was a thread started on here asking about temp readings being incorrect at the galley plug. After doing research, I am finding oil temps 20-45 degrees cooler than what the OFT is getting from the OBD port. So I am going to have to find a different spot/Different oil temp gauge.

Sub'd!

DustinS · 05-27-2015, 07:15 PM

Still waiting on the Radiator to get here, and for the turbo kit to be shipped. I am hoping it comes in Saturday or Monday. That way I can get to working on it before the next Cars and Coffee on the 6th.

(Yes I know I need to wash the car

)

DustinS · 05-29-2015, 12:50 AM

More Parts!!

Also got word the turbo kit is being shipped out today. I should have that early next week. I am hoping my radiator comes in tomorrow, or soon.

DustinS · 06-01-2015, 11:46 AM

Little update.

Turbo Kit has shipped, though unfortunately wont get here till Friday. I was hoping to have it done by Cars and Coffee Saturday. Such is life.

Radiator is still in an unknown state. I was told the company I ordered from never received the tracking info. Really hoping everything works out there.

Still need to order Oil cooler, Cam Plate (special Driveway Labs edition), oil filter, heat wrap, gauges, and gauge pod.

DustinS · 06-03-2015, 01:19 PM

It's been two weeks since I ordered the radiator and contacted the vendor again to see what was going on, he let me know that the radiator shipped today.

Except I was told it shipped out two weeks ago... Not sure I will be using that vendor again :/. Poor communication can make or break a company unfortunately.

More DEI Titanium Heat wrap and Gold Heat tape will be here tomorrow. I also ordered some vinyl samples to see if I want to wrap the interior pieces (Maybe whole car?)

Edit: Tracking Number for Radiator was just sent to me. So that is a good sign.
