Today's win. My coworker had a little bit of wheel paint left over from one of his projects and I had center caps that were black and silver. We put the two together and came out with beautiful toilet bowl center caps.

It's alive!!!!!!
The three day weekend gave me all the time I needed to get the ride height set, the motor bits all fit back up, and get her washed and test driven.
This is how it sat when I first put it on the ground. Really high in the rear. I should have set the coils all equal before install but I was just happy to get it all installed at the time.
Video of the first start the next day. The first is from a cold start and the second is after the car was all warmed up and idled down. The smoke coming from the turbo side is oil burning off that dripped out of the Y-pipe when I removed parts
Easter morning was beautiful so I took advantage and bolted all the rest of the engine components back on and pulled the car over to my other driveway for a much needed wash (probably 5 years without one). I left the hood off because the engine bay was incredibly dirty.
After my family got together and ate our meal I took the car for a spin around town with the hood off. The alignment is off which is expected after a full suspension job but no major issues. I only got the car into boost for a split second when I blew an intake pipe off (This genius forgot to tighten it). The car will go for an alignment this week, get another wash and then a wax, and see its first car show on Sunday.
