My Blistein PSS9s just arrived. I also picked up some Enkei RPF1s last month. I plan to roll my fenders, put on the suspension, and put on the Enkeis.
I am currently saving up for a Amuse replica RockstarGarage hard top as my soft top is in pretty rough shape. Hopefully, I will have enough for the hardtop by February.

Actually, they are Re-11's. I know they were out of production at one time , I don't know if they are back in production now or if this is old stock floating around. I tried looking for a production date on them but couldn't see it, but I know they were available from a number of distributors when I was looking so they weren't hard to find in this size.

^ my S0-2's were more like hockey pucks, I still had 50% tread left on them but they weren't very sticky compared to current day rubber. I got the S0-2s as new unused but they were a few years old which one of the members here had stored away.

Just found the date code on my Re-11's, I didn't realize it was a 4 digit code based on weeks of the year. They were made the 31st week of 2016 , made in Japan. Not bad.

Top of my list...diagnose mis-firing CEL codes and fix problem, then pass emission test for new plate sticker.
Sounds easy but fingers crossed.

Have you ever done a leakdown test before? Could be something serious that requires a cylinder head rebuild or something as easy as a bad coil pack/ spark plug.

I've done most things suggested on this forum, except for switch coil packs, valve adjustment ( haven't done since I own the car 10 years ).
The motor sounds and runs normal, motor sound like the same before the CEL light turns on.

I'll focus my time this year on getting the car out, just not in time for RTD 2017.

So you've done a leak down test then? What was the result?

Had so much planned for the car this year as many of you know but plans are changing so budget will be much lower.
Main goals are:

- Repaint front bumper, hood, fenders and rear bumper
- Replace rear driver-side wheel bearing + rotor + pad (all from that axle incident...)
- Flashpro
- New OEM floor mats

Hopefully everything comes to under $3500 (2k paint job, 500 on rear driver-side issues, 800 flashpro, 300 floor mats).

At the current GBP/everything exchange rate, I'd go for the premium OEM mats
