I just need to get it back up in the air, double check things, reinstall the bumper and undershroud, then test drive.

You'll probably have to get it out and test drive it to check the new GReddy Thermostat. It passes very little oil until 180deg. I was able to get mine to open idling in the garage but I had to hold the revs up @3k for awhile. Not sure what the weather is like up there but it was 90deg in my garage and it still took awhile.

Thanks for the tip. I basically had time to start it up and do a quick check for obvious leaks. I will check oil level in the morning and top up if needed. It's supposed to rain the next few days so I might not be able to take it for a test drive until the weekend. I'll let you know how things work out.

Will do. Honestly, I don't remember how the pad/dash light is supposed to work. I'll have to read the owners manual again.

Only Gale could get a set of seats done that correct. Perfect in every way, flows with the build, yet appropriately racecar. This man's attention to detail is second to none my friends.

Well done sir!

PS: dibs on stockers

NSFW, I cannot leave my office for about 10min because of "anatomical difficulties" related to "carporn".

Yeah, I have a "quick" release. Usually I leave the front plate in the car, just incase. Besides, it doesn't block too much with it on the passenger side.
