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.

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?
Fate
Oct 26, 2012 - 8:43 PM
Leather Recaros from an Evo 8. I used the Recaro sliders and Corbeau brackets. Minor modification but fit perfect.

Must have been expensive, but they look fantastic. The only other seats I'd consider, besides tiger SS-III seats or confetti Recaro ST205 units. Only question, do they come in cloth as well?
Fate

Closest to cloth:
Stevenson has a set of these in his celica.
Also, thank you for the compliments.

Need some opinions:
I am planning to purchase a set of BC coilovers and will be doing custom spring rates. I was thinking 10k front and 8k rear as I know many FWD hondas run it without issue. Would the stiffer spring rates negatively effect handling as I know there comes a point in suspension basics where too much is no good. Planning to also purchase ST sway bars and replace all bushings both front and rear with polyurethane.
Oh ya:
Fate
Apr 11, 2013 - 9:10 PM
10k, 8k input? Anyone?!
RabidTRD

I feel like a heavier spring rate in the rear is better for our cars due to massive under steer. It ballances out and I've made the rear kick out first a few times now. Upgraded the rear with urethane bushings on the sway bar and Moog end links. Also run a harder setting on my shocks. Idk much about the spring rate of the factory springs, but the red eibachs ive got hands great.
Aaparently the D2 RS's that I bought (coilover) have higher spring rates than the BC BR's, which will benefit me when I go low. Don't know if those would work well for your setup though. However they do have upper camber adjustment on the rear mounts/tophats.

Thanks for your response amigo! I'll look into the D2's as well.
