I've got it running on the stand. First start I had oil blow all over and found out that I forgot to tighten my oil pressure sender. Got it tight and everything is good. I should be driving this week. I will have to test it under load before I can claim victory, but things are looking good. Video from instagram:

Not a whole lot at first. I have a 1.2 bar tune at the moment that I will run for a while. I will crank it up later on down the road. Just looking forward to doing some canyon carving and mountain climbing runs for now.

Getting closer. Should be driving this weekend. I think I need to roll my rear fenders, 315's are tight.

Good luck!! It's been fun following your progress.

What are the specs on your wheels? I'm able to run 315/30/18 on an 18x12 ET43 without any rubbing.

They're 19x12 wheels with 315/25/19's. It's pretty close.

You'll probably have to roll fenders I had to roll mine with 305/30-19 PSS on 19x11s. I'm lowered on H&R springs.

I ordered a fender rolling tool and I ruined my power steering return line and had to order a new one because it leaks. Looking like next week now.

They are 19 X 9 F +54 OS and 19 X 12 R +45 OS according to the guy I got them from. They might fit and I'm just being paranoid. I will just roll the fenders a bit and be done with it. Either way, I'm glad I landed these wheels, I think they look fantastic.

I'm still waiting on my power steering return line. I should have ordered from a more reliable source, but they did charge my card so maybe it will be here soon.
