Let's do it. As long as they're flat, flat pieces are cheap and easy :)

So the AEM will be a few weeks yet since he has to make a special harness for me. In the mean time, I've picked up some stuff. Got some of those Aero hood pins for the new hood. Also got all my sensors I'll need. AEM SS 5 bar MAP sensor, AEM SS 100psi fuel pressure, GM Flex Fuel, & a MAC 3-port boost solenoid. Good news was I had enough points on my credit card that I got all those sensors, plus a new Ryobi ONE cordless setup for free!

I also have some new ABS sensors on the way that I'll need for setting up traction control.

I also got my new Tilton Clutch Master Cylinder half installed. Hopefully I can get it further installed over the next week or so and figure out if that fixed my tranny issue. If not, then yaay that pig gets to come out. Crossing my fingers that doesn't have to happen.

Glad to see you got some genuine Aerocatch vs the ebay/cheap stuff.

I love my aerocatch hood pins.

Cm on man, I'd never buy cheap ebay knock off stuff... :P

lol, well they are $12 so it's pretty tempting vs the $80+ or whatever they are now.

I haven't installed mine yet, cutting into a CF hood is scary!

I think I paid 70. And oh yyeah I was tempted, but just went with the real deal.

Some more little updates. I was able to finish up installing the new Tilton master. Was hoping I'd get lucky and that'd fix the trans / clutch issue, but nope. Still looking like the clutch and FW fused. I'm going to swap in a new slave this week sometime hopefully just to scratch that off the list, but I doubt that'll fix it. So then the trans will be coming off. No idea what the timeline looks for this now. But when the trans comes off, I'll likely be switching over to a new adapter setup that mates a stock supra auto bell housing to this trans. Supposed to make this fit a whole lot better which will be nice, and also use off the shelf clutch parts.

I also picked up a set of Megan adjustable rear lower control arms. These should help me get the rear better alligned since the car is lowered, and help me square up the tires to the road to help with traction. That's the idea at least.

Well while I'm waiting on my new slave to arrive, I decided to do a couple things.

A took out my gauge cluster and sent to Tanin Auto Electornix to get the bulb changed over to LED and to fix all my burnt out needles.

I also took the opportunity to swap in my new steering wheel I picked up. First time ever removing / installing a steering wheel, wasn't too bad, took me maybe 15 minutes. Really digging the new one! It's out of a Lexus GS300, but from JDM land so it would have been a Toyota something or another (Aristo maybe?), sorry I'm not caught up on my JDM models, haha.
