Parts are coming in!! Also picked up my propane furnace for my garage. Hopefully have it running this weekend so I can work in the heat! I have a hard time getting motivated in the cold lol
Here are my 304 ss rivnuts. Can not bring myself to just using self tappers for my side diffusers. And aluminum will eventually corrode being up against steel, so I needed ss. It was difficult to find a vendor that was selling high quality rivnuts so I ordered from multiple and these are the ones I'll be using.

Well had a couple hours today to work on the car. Put the valve cover, spark plugs, coils, and fuel rail cover back on. Had a lot of it off to install injectors, and do a valve adjustment. Also made a bracket for my boost controller since the one it comes with is useless. Oh! And started running/installing my vacuum lines and fittings. Just about ready to finish putting everything on then off to get tuned
Don't mind the zipties waiting for some mounts to come in for these.
Once I get everything installed, running, and tuned I'm going to turn my attention to freshening up the engine bay. Re-coat the valvecover, coil cover, titanium bolt sets, etc. Just trying to get her going so I can drive her again!

So today in the freezing cold I installed the Wasp side diffusers. I LOVE these! was kind of a pain to install because I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my cars. And because I used rivnuts not self tappers. I used the reinforced areas at each end of the diffuser but the other two I did not. I wanted 5 mounting points and evenly spaced. Also with my washer setup, it supports a bigger area rather then just a screw head. Then in between the top of the diffuser and the rocker I used rubber washers. So I think they are pretty secured/protected.
All ss hardware.

Got a few more parts in and got a lot of stuff installed this past weekend. Also picked up some awesome Prodrive GC-07c wheels! Hoping to have everything buttoned up next weekend, and then need to set up a date with Evens tuning to get this thing on the road!
