2021 update, finally have the car out for the season, kind of. Took the car for a ride yesterday and 5 minutes into the trip, things got a lot louder. Stopped and saw the exhaust broke before the cat. Luckily I had a magnaflow cat on the shelf since I never liked how it sounded with the gutted cat when the shop installed my metric mechanic engine. A couple hours later and one problem is solved.

Pretty sure this isn't supposed to be broken:

Nice when you have backup parts just for things like this.

Time for a quick update, been having some odds and ends taken care of in the off season. 1st I had my MAF rebuilt by Bavarian Restoration - the idle is perfect and I hope this will solve my inconsistent, especially when cold idle. While I was at it, I also sent BavRest my instrument cluster and had it refurbished and had the econo gauge replaced with digital oil/temp gauges, I'm loving it! While I was at it, I also replaced the window breaker switch, it's amazing how much better it looks with this small change.

Next up, I'm having my wheels refinished and replacing the speakers, if anyone is interested in a pair of black premium rear speakers let me know. After that, some fresh coolant, a good cleaning and hopefully get it back out on track.
