Washed/waxed it and didn't drive it lol.

Oh and took some HDR photos with my iPhone! omgawd x]

Oh oh and I took off all my decals omg!



What's this mean? Did you paint it or something?
Yeah sprayed it with black VHT header paint (except the bellmouth), so it doesn't stand out quite so much. I was surprised how nice the finish turned out, hopefully it holds up once on the car (still needs to be cured on the car too).

I de-badged my Foz and had it detailed, everything buffed out well. Would not have tried if not for the tips found here!
And so begins my modding.

washed the car at diy carwash. it was the first time i reached in through the wheels to get at the brake dust on the inside of the wheels, worked pretty well; good thing i don't have a big brake kit, there would've been much less space to squeeze my hand through, haha. wheels look properly clean, or at least better than the usual "two-tone" of black on the outside and brake dust brown just inside. used meguiar's plast-x for the headlights, which always works well (squeak*squeak) to get rid of the haze. lookin' forward to puttin' on new set of rubber that should be arriving tomorrow... =)

Assembled my fuel rails and most of the intake manifold. Hoping that this samco turbo inlet tube will actually fit (its very tight to the pass side tgv motor, would fit perfect if the whole thing was about an inch longer).

Just have to check all the hose clamps on the fuel rails and then install the engine harness and it should be ready to install on the engine with the grimmspeed spacers.

Also got the turbo all ready, finally got the DP studs in the mail today, so it can now be installed on the uppipe (hopefully I can get the turbo inlet onto the turbo when I install the intake manifold with the turbo already in place). Double checked the P&L ss oil line, not 100% happy with fitment, but it -has- to work as the stock one is too bent up (and probably cracked now) to bolt to the turbo.

Hopefully first start will be friday or saturday.

You have to get up pretty early to make that happen and you don't.
