Reinstalled the turbo/downpipe in the RC, what a clusterfuck that is. I spent a stupid amount of time trying to chip off a piece of crusty old vac line that had pretty much turned to plastic.

Also installed the replacement rad in the RX7, the silly fan shroud is a bit of a pain to wiggle in there but I think I've got the hang of where it gets hung up now.

Get the BC's rebuilt and you'll be a lot further ahead than running stock shocks.

BR series coils have a $100 shock replacement policy...

And replacement parts are readily available for all their other Coils as well. I see no reason not to repair them...

Burped the coolant in the FC after the rad replacement, man what a messy job that is. Also bled the clutch and aired up the tires, then took it for a drive down some twisty roads and I've got to say, FC's are very fun cars. Even though this one is a fairly rough NA one (albeit with new shocks and springs) it's a blast to drive.

Recently been re-assembling my engine, today I stuck the oil pan on, along with some water lines and a big ass bracket for the alternator. Thing is, I painted the bracket the same colour as the block and need some opinions on whether I should keep it that way or paint it black. Even one or two comments would help. I'm kinda torn between the choices, lol.

I would keep it matching, unless you want to draw attention to the big alt bracket.

I'm going to respectfully disagree.

Stock > BC/Megan Racing/Made in China/Taiwan garbage. And who is going to repair them locally? Likely nobody. They have to be shipped out and what you get is the same garbage again.

I'm going to disagree with you since you seem to assume everything made in China is the same...
