Oil lines purchased
1/8" NPT Tee oil feed with SS fitting for feed line
45 elbow with 5/8" barb fitting for oil return pan fitting
$17 for everything!
Also have MSP axles and a New MSP bumper underway ($150 for everything)
Axles should take care of my CV Joint issues that occurs while making right turns. Also, the thicker axles will be nice.
Current bumper has broken, unfixable places and will be trashed after this bumper has been painted and installed.
I do have a source for paint now, so don't worry about me rocking a Titanium Grey bumper for the next year
Next important step is caliper(s)
I have at least 1 seized caliper that is making me lose break fluid. Calling a few people today to get a replacement

I recently installed some LED reverse lights. They're damn near blinding at night, I love 'em. During the day, though..... I worry that they're not visible at all. Keep an eye on em, is all.
In addition to axles, calipers, rotors, and pads....I also need outer tie rods. Hurray!
Also....don't mess with something you don't know about. I tried test my wastegate actuator to see if it works, blew too much air into it and ruptured the diaphragm. Yes I'm stupid. Yes I have to pay to replace it. No, a new actuator isn't a bad thing to have

Where did you purchase your LED's from? I'm currently in the market for some new LED reverse lights. Just don't want to waste my time and money on some cheap eBay Chinese LED's that barely work at night -.-
Very sharp!
wuh oh :O
