    Long-time update

    Update for May 2017 - November 2017!

    Updating this thing has been intermittent due to my wife and I buying our first house! Eerily similar to the previous owner's own story, actually. Right Jennifer?!

    Anyway, don't remember specific dates anymore, but since the last update in May, I've done the following:

    - uprated injectors. Now running 19# with the appropriate updated Sssquid tune.

    - fuel filter hose blew out, luckily it only started when I was parked. Replaced that and the rubber lines.

    - swapped out the rough sport seat for an almost-perfect comfort seat (not bad, actually pretty comfortable!)

    - replaced HVAC lighting (NEVER AGAIN)

    - fixed the gauge cluster, now all instruments work as designed!

    - probably more that I can't remember right now.

    Current future plans (in no specific order or time) are:

    - redo exhaust for quieter commute, with added dump pipes for funnn!

    - M30 afm swap and appropriate Sssquid re-tune

    - reseal leaking trans case

    - de-shadowline trim around doors and rear window

    - update front seats to OMP WRC-R seats

    - replace fog lights and gaskets

    - add IS front splitter

    - EVO M3-style rear spoiler

    - IS side skirts

        Supplemental update!

        Had some halfway decent photos taken of the Chariot! Think they came out pretty good. Shots are various areas around SE Portland. Enjoy!

          Very nice. I love zinno. I say keep the trim shadowline, add an iS front lip spoiler and figure out the zip tie/fog light situation. Otherwise she is gorgeous!
