However a decent set is going to cost a pretty penny!

For now I'm going to clean up the style 20 turbines and run them. A little spit shine and new roundels. Dr. C. placed a new set of 'performance all-season' tires just before sale so these will be good to go.

Meanwhile, I'll focus my resources ($$) on drive-ability and reliability items.

I found the SLS rear shocks to be DOA. I'm not messing with these, they gotta go.

I chose to re-circulate the SLS at the firewall just below the driver. I'll also cap the the SLS system in the rear at the accumulators.

Here are the replacement parts. What’s missing are the rear shocks, Bilstein B46-1247s. Seems I won’t get these until May
