Took the trunk lid off, brought up to apartment since no outlets near carports. Used a dremel to grind off two areas under the lid so i can acess the body plugs from the wing ans take them out.

Ultimately going to silicone the holes closed with stinless steel stampout from underneath then bondo the outside holes.
Mounting sti limited spoiler & painting.

Ready for Snail!

Fixed the leak in the uppipe with the 6SS 20GXR install. The water line and oil feed line was preventing the turbo from fully contacting the uppipe. Needed to bend the oil line down a little, and use a punch on the water line to provide some clearance. It's all sealed up good with the Grimmspeed gasket. Going to Snail Performance tomorrow (same day Apetron is getting his done) to get my tune for E85 and 91.

The following was installed:
6StarSpeed 20GXR turbo
DW1000cc injectors
Perrin turbo inlet
FMS TMIC (PW clone)
Forge Motorsports BPV
Okada Projects plasma spark boots
NGK LFR7AIX irridium spark plugs

Not sure yet. I'm still getting the basic bolt on stuff and suspension stuff together.. Most likely going to get tuned by Mike from GST. I'm familiar with that dyno, so I'll have any idea of where I stand in comparison to my last couple of Evos.

Seafoamed my oil few days back, changed it out yesterday. Hard to objectively nail down a difference, but things feel even smoother than usual post oil change. Gonna run some through the motor itself next.

Washed car today. Skidded a lot too, need some new tires soon haha.

Over the weekend, drove my wagon that's been under construction for the past year, drove it about 20 miles without issue then all of a sudden right when I'm in front of my work place, my center differential blows... and notonly did it blow up, it cracked the extension housing...
