I would definitely replace the front 02 sensor. My car ran very rough for a while and I could not figure out why. It would struggle to idle at the right RPMs and the motor would kind of pulsate. As soon as I replaced the sensor everything was buttery smooth. It's a pretty cheap part at Autozne, make sure you get the Denso brand which is the best you can get.

Easy way to check for a vacuum leak is to spray some brake cleaner near the vacuum lines and see if your RPMs shoot up, the brake cleaner acts as a fuel for the engine. Good luck!

Looking good!

Do you really trust those Gorilla lug nuts to hold up on Rally-X? I have the red ones and I don't even really trust them going on the freeway! They feel so cheap in my hand. I'm exaggerating about not trusting them but you get the picture.
