Now, all I need to do is to swap back to race pads, install the ducting hoses back, and put the gauges on; nothing hard. I should mention, though, it will be my first time installing a gauge.
I only got the oil pan baffling installed by a shop, and I regretted it. Engine mount bolts were way over-torqued, some of the wheel well plastic retainers were missing, so were two 10mm bolts holding coolant lines around the pan, and one of the oil pan bolts was not torqued enough, leaking tiny bit of oil. All this after just one job! When I told them about missing bolts in hopes that they could find them, they said the car was already missing them (it was not, I looked around the pan before leaving the car with them since I almost did the work myself; I wish I had). I'm sure the pros are much more experienced than me, but they care so little about your car, in the end, I usually end up doing a cleaner job :(

That's also why I try to do my own work when ever possible. Great job on the build.
