Added back hatch springs to the struts. Works great.

Finally solved the problem that was causing nitrous gauge to periodically go wacky. Hate electrical problems.

Replacing thermostat and temp sensor today.
Ordered Dynavin N6, BC's, and already received my Lemforder front thrust arms, straight arms, tie rod assemblies, engine mounts, sway bar links, and rear ball joints.

Have an appointment to install everything next weekend.

Two , way up.

I want an N6 so bad, in the coming months with running boards. Need to do my rear suspension this year as well.

More like what DIDN'T I do!
Son is home from college and I get to chase:

Bad DISA valve, first one replaced since I've owned it
Both sunroof drain tubes pulled out of the metal part. They've been wetting on the carpet all winter, and the electrics were really funky with all of the moisture in the car
Rear wiper wasn't wiping - some WD40 and back-and-forth to solve

Remaining issue: vibration in steering wheel is now not just under breaking but all the time. The tension rod bushings are poly, but the ball joints on the other end? One was replaced a few years ago but as far as I know they other is original.
The lower CA on the driver's side looks OK, the bushing is not rotted and I can't pry it around with a pry bar, but I don't know how healthy the ball joint is. I've eliminated brakes since it now will shake the wheel without brake application. It has definitely progressed.
