Put it back together after the track day, looks different with the street tires vice skinny/fats.
Had to pull the radiator out due to a casaulty at the track, what a mess that was....esp being an automatic with tranny cooler in there...placed a bid on Ebay for the radiator/shroud/fans for $214 shipped which is a great deal since I paid $200 shipped just for the mishimoto radiator 2 years ago.
Installed the UPR sway bar delete on Luke's car which was easy; when we were at the track-Luke was spectating-he started the car up and he had a horrible exhaust leak coming from the passenger side so we pulled the passenger side manifold and the gasket came out in at least 10 pieces, which was good since we knew what the issue was. Installed the Felpro gaskets and all was going well until we tried to re-install the last bolt-always happens that way-and it was very unhappy going back into the head...uh oh....we tried every trick we knew to get it to rethread itself, put the manilfod back on and when tightening that bolt the head threads gave up so 7/8 is all we got. Started the car and no leaks, whew.
We also reoriented his hot side turbo piping to get it away from the AC wiring/compressor/serp belt and got the one exhaust pipe into the hanger which we had put off until we did the sway bar delete which gave us the clearance we needed.
Next weekend UPR K member install....gulp.

I texted Jeremy a pic and he said its nothing but condensation, he gets it too. I was worried that I had a blown head gasket for a minute. I need to double check my oil when I change it soon.
