Do you have the oem carpet or does that have to come out of an STi too?

Thanks Aaron!

The carpet I'm putting in is OEM replacement brand new, I chose black (not charcoal) because I think it'll look tits with the blue suede seats. I also opted for the smallest insulation to save weight :D

Just ordered some redline from Bill for the tranny fluid with the help of Hughes, so hopefully that'll be put in tomorrow.

Looking good dude!

Let me know if you need any extra help this week. I'd love to see her on the cruise!

Fucking UPS man didn't deliver my carpet because I wasn't there, arggghhh.

The "good" news is I got a Mishimoto aluminum radiator and radiator hoses, the bad news is I spent another $300. But tonight the FMIC should be good and radiator should be good. All that's left is get tires, install exhaust and bleed the brake lines!

Tachyon, I'm always happy for help, if you're bored tonight let me know!

I'll have to take pics of last night's progress but I have some bad news...

"Sarah" will not be on the cruise. I HATE not making goals, but it's time to swallow my pride and do what's best. Considering the engine wasn't even in until about 2 weeks ago I think I've done pretty good.

At any rate the stuff left to do last night required a lot of grinder work and the neighbors wouldn't have liked that. That's what my main setback was grinding the main bumper beam for the intercooler, would have taken 30 minutes of solid grinder work.

Stuff left to do.
1.) Fully install FMIC and piping (about 40% done)
2.) Bleed the brakes
3.) Put coolant in the car
4.) Put tires on the wheels and align it. (which was planned today)
5.) Install the exhaust.
