Head and block were dropped off at the machine shop today to be honed, resurfaced, pressure checked and have all seals and guides inspected!
Also, just bought my tuning package from 22RPD. Looking forward to working with Zack on my metal death trap

Been really boring (engine building pun) waiting for Wiseco to make my pistons.
Worked with John @ CES to order 8.8:1 CR pistons. Slight overbore of 0.010 inches with a stock deck height.
So as of now, the only thing still left to buy is the actual Turbocharger and then we are good to go!

Meantime,
We've been working to put on my Fitment Lab Over Fenders now that the weather is nice
Grabbed a set of smoked Depo's, since its been about a year trying to deal with Umnitza's unbelievably bad and unprofessional customer service to get my second tail light. Literally have my BBB complaint written up, but haven't submitted yet.
Just ordered today Lee @Massive Brakes dual caliper bracket so I can run a standalone Hydro E-brake which I am ordering from Chase Bays.
Also scheduled this weekend is shop time trying to fix my e39 since I'm too busy to diagnose/fix right now. Currently has 6-8 codes for misfires.
If only these cars cost as much as Hot Wheelz to own...
