Ignition Project IP coils and and NGK IX Iridium one step colder plugs (7 temp).
Had the BavAuto coils in her for about 8 years and they are still working fine but I read all the propaganda about Okidata Plasma coils and realized the IP are the identical coil at half the price and the company just changed their name.
Obviously not expecting a big change but I can say my idle is a little less stumbly (which would probably be the same with ANY fresh coils and plugs).
Level 3 Active Autowerke supercharger, Schrick Cams... and all the supporting mods... Figured a multiple firing coil couldn't hurt LOL.
Track time! Did my first ever track day. All day event at a very technical track (Calabogie Motorsport Park) and learned that I am definitely a comparatively slow driver of a VERY fast car! The nut behind the steering wheel is going to need some significant upgrades! 🤣

msportparts trans tunnel brackets
corteco trans mounts
corteco motor mounts
front door handle gaskets
valve cover gasket

next up tires, windshield seals, trans & diff fluid, then new starter and injectors rebuilt when subframe is down for bushings and oil pump nut. Gotta plan that one out a bit. maybe next year, maybe in the fall. car is seeing about 10k mi/year right now. mulling a move to somewhere where I wont have my own space for a while (still 2 years out), so any other futureproofing suggestions welcome. ill do rear subframe/rtab reinforcements, full brake job, and fuel pump before said move too.
Just a few things taken right from my spreadsheet.

Disassembled the rear driver's side suspension, removed the bearings and bushings. Will be tackling the passenger side today. Will remove the diff/cradle afterward, remove the tank, clean everything, and get some RTAB reinforcements added.
