Car has been in my possession for approximately 24 hours at the time of writing, and will be undergoing an tune-up, diagnostic/inspection. and thrown onto a dyno for "what we started with" numbers.

Current known issues are minimal, but I'm sure we'll find much much more soon. Here's the list as it stands:

Speedometer not registering speed (odometer not measuring mileage as a result). (speed sensor maybe?)
Power Steering pump is completely missing.
Unidentified grinding/rubbing sound while driving, originating from the front passenger side of the car (My suspicion is something suspension related?)
Passenger airbag cover is warped to hell. Not a big deal, but it's ugly as sin. Gonna take care of that while doing everything else.

Suspected issues:
Compression leak unidentified location
Exhaust leak unidentified location

While this isn't a comprehensive explanation of what sort of crazy exciting things I want to do, I'm more logging the "Get it working" steps for accountability purposes. Will add findings/results once we make some progress.

While waiting to get everything up to date, I managed to get some new parts ordered! Still need to hunt down a few exhaust components (custom made it seems, at this point) and get my hands on an FMIC. Was going to go for SMIC, but it seems like getting one up and running takes a bit more ingenuity than I'm capable of, currently. The Hunt starts for a Link ECU. I've messaged ECMTuning, and no response on availability yet. Fingers crossed, but I'm not counting on it given the current state of things.

On order:

Wally 255 Fuel Pump
Hallman Pro RX Boost Controller
AEM Boost Display
FueLab 515 FPR Kit w/Gauge
FIC LowZ 750 fuel injectors
Big 16G turbo w/ Install kit


Hopefully, this is enough to keep me busy through winter.
