thanks guys. it still needs alot of work but its worth the effort. does anybody have anyone they would recommend to adjust my valves? my car sounds like a sewing machine thats 3 quarts low on oil. i asked matt at matts foreign car in tosa he gave me a quote as if he were doing a motor swap/parts and labor. haha that guy is good but holy hell is he high on drugs!

A valve adjustment is a matter of 30 minutes, a set of feeler gauges, and a new valve cover gasket+rocker shaft plugs.
Between having a newborn and buying a house I cannot figure out when I would be able to help you but I would be happy to help and could give you instructions over the phone if needed.

So heres a small update but nothing too exciting. I ordered tie rod assemblies, an inner door handle, a lower temp thermostat and a valve cover gasket so i can adjust my valves. I also picked up an iS lip from Jake. I painted the grille so the lip would match. Here is a bad pic that i took without any sun light of my car with said lip. If anybody has a set of kidneys they would like to sell PM me. Mine are in terrible shape.

The increased aerodynamics due to the lip will surely help you save big money!!! possibly up to 11%!

I haven't updated this since last year because my photobucket wouldn't upload photos from my phone. I've done a lot of boring maintenance in the past month since pulling it out of storage. I'll post a everything I've done so far this weekend. This is the way it sits as of now.

Over the line.
