Did a little bit of work on the car today...

I fabbed up a new mounting bracket for the Mishimoto Oil cooler that positions it so it is 100% in clean air flow instead of being partially covered by the bumper. I am still waiting on the Jim Wolf Technology oil pan spacer to get here before I finish installing the rest of the lines and such for the oil cooler so I can put everything on at once and not have to drain the oil twice.

While I had the bumper cover off, I also decided I would replace the Jim Wolf Technology Dual Pop Charger intakes with a new Injen Technology Dual Cold Air Intake system to see how they compare. I also did not re-install the washer fluid bottle included in the Injen CAI kit for the purpose of saving weight on the front end.

I have a ton of work to do on the car before this next weekend's test event out at Spring Mountain Motorsports Park before competing in Round #7 of the Redline Time Attack Series a week later at the same track. I really want to make this test weekend since there are so may new parts on the car since last time it was on track. The only problem is that I am waiting on a bunch more parts to come in so my hopes of getting a lot done this weekend are somewhat shot.

Tomorrow's agenda:
- Change Transmission Fluid & Install Project Kics Magnetic Drain Plug
- Change Differential Fluid & Install Project Kics Magnetic Drain Plug (if it fits)
- Test fit SPL Parts Adjustable Sway Bar End Links

The only other thing I can do at this point is install the NonStopTuning Crank & Alternator Pulley Kit which arrived today, however I don't have a lift so I probably won't be able to get the leverage needed with a breaker bar to get the stock one off. Might have a local shop with a lift do that install.
