Yeah man, I can say the exact same thing to you! I thought you were going to be at mazfest! I went all the way down there to anticipate your arrival in Cali!
Sweet brotha, Do you have a tracking number or anything like that so that i can possibly start on my project?

My bad Noah! I always seem to miss your comments!
The AAC Rear Link Kit is awesome! Totally worth in all ways; it's looks fantastic if you're driving behind me, the performance result turn the car into a whole different car, and it's 10x beefier than the OEM links. Quality on this product is top notch HANDS DOWN! For those people who haven't jumped on this yet, whether or not your a track head or just a daily driver who likes to take the turns hard once in awhile should definitely take the opportunity to jump this before it'll no longer be available!

Taking out that dash and installing that harness, lol.
no worries man - just glad you are liking them. much thanks for the write up. i might have to hit you up and have you post this on our shop site once it's done.
good news is the next 12 sets of links are being powdered so i'll have a few sets in stock for those that want to get on these.

Good news guys!
I got some of the wiring fixed! I'm no longer stalling out and the engine stay on consistently! =) I was pretty darn happy to have that pass my shoulders. I was stressing about that for weeks. XD
It turned out that I had miswired a few things for the SSFTC and that made many things go hay wire.
I'm going to try to get everything in working order and then clean it up and make it all presentable. Sadly the tachometer and rpm are still not working! I'm going to have to wait for that dash wire harness from Damian (boostedprotegelx). I'm going to compare the one i have in my car to one im going to receive. I'm crossing my fingers that it won't be that big of a difference. This is what happens when you do a automatic (with tiptonic) to manual swap!
Head ACHE! Overall, I made great progress today!

QUOTE=Signature Sound I started on your coolant tank today! Polished takes forever, but its going to be worth it seeing it in that nice bay you have. I think the BLACK hose with the blue/ red fittings will look good to match what is already there. Here is the tank so far:

Heres how it looks today (not quite done with polishing yet). The bottom fitting was installed by threading the bottom with 1/2" NPT. Then its sealed inside and out using a special 3M epoxy that withstands 600* temp and 4500psi. Wicked s*** and sets up in just 4 minutes!
