It does look like I'm planning a two tone doesn't it? Rest assured, it will be sprayed one amazing color. More pictures:

UPDATE:

Oil Leak.

Thought it was the valve cover, took care of that.
Thought it might be my transmission leaking through the axle seal on the pass. side, its not due to the oil clearly being engine oil (I used royal purple for my trans fluid).
Rear main seal was replaced when I did the swap.

Other than that, the car runs amazing and boosts great. No longer a misfire in high RPMs when boost is increased - put new spark plugs in / gapped properly.

Will take pictures.


EDIT: also replaced the O-Ring gasket on the distributor, so i don't think it's that.

Cars looking great!

oil leak looks to be coming from close to the head and running down the block on the driver's side.

Could be the inner dizzy seals.

^that's another area of concern I thought about. Very high chance it could be the culprit.

what kind of seats are those..easy fit in?
Leather Recaros from an Evo 8. I used the Recaro sliders and Corbeau brackets. Minor modification but fit perfect.
