Here's the Girodisc S/S pads:


Catch can installed:


Generic mounting bracket that came with it had to make do for now....it ain't too purdy up close:


But like the rest of the car, from a few feet away it ain't bad (also, here's a shot of the engine bay all buttoned up):


Car is back on the road! 150 miles on the clock so far...no major leaks. I'm still undecided on break-in procedure....Proving Grounds is 2 weeks away and I want to try and do some WOT tuning before I hit the road up there.

Started car, full warm-up.
Changed oil. 10w30 Fleet Farm oil.
Drove 41 miles, vacuum pulls, vacuum pulls, vacuum pulls.
Changed oil. 2.5x 10w30 Fleet Farm oil, 2x O'Reily 10w40.
150 miles now, do I change to synthetic at 500 miles or...
change oil at 500 miles with some 10w40 dino oil and then go for 1000 before going synthetic....I don't know if I have time.





Also need to fix the BCS lead I broke during disassembly, do the rear brakes, bleed them all around, and change the rear diff fluid. So far so good....
