!!5sfte!!, the second coming! Options

yep, you heard me. I'm coming back to the 5sfte community. Doing things a little different this time around, here's what I can remember so far that I'm doing differently:

Genuine HKS BOV, the new 2007 design
Got my injectors cleaned and flow tested at witchhunter. They were is poor condition before and are great now!
Going with a SAFCII instead of a neo. I got it for about $75 cheaper, and it measures knock. I was gonna get a greddy emanage ultimate, but I don't have a laptop to tune it with and it just looked too complicated for me to figure out how to tune it by myself, so maybe I'll upgrade later.
Got a custom stailness braided oil feed and drain line kit made specifically for my 5sfte. I just gotta weld a fitting onto my oil pan but I'm having a hard time finding someone willing to do it.
I'm fixing my radiator fan which was broken before. the motor fell out of the blade cause it was hooked up wrong
I'm using a regular sized radiator instead of the koyo, for a little more engine bay room
I'm relocating the battery to the trunk
and I'm cutting my IC piping down a lot for a cleaner install, might even paint them like LewFX

that's all I can think of right now, pictures to come. hope to be running by the end of the week after 6 months of down time!

Apology for what? For quoting what he wrote and speaking my mind? All of a sudden I am Mr. Mean Guy for not posting smileys and buttkissery? What are these forums comprised of? Five year olds? Again, all that is expected here is, quoting by what I wrote earlier, is mad props, praises, compliments and "attaboys". God forbid somebody posts something other than laughs and anything not in a happy tone, and tears will be running and hearts will be broken in 6GC.net. It's apparent that I wasted my time in this thread, and all I did was upset some young hearts, instead of opening some eyes. I'm not wasting my time anymore with this. You want to go ahead and keep doing your thing? Be my guest. I'm not stepping in or reading this thread anymore. The least thing I need is to try to steer someone the right way, and get some defensive kids stick up for their "wounded" buddy that cannot take a little bit of heat from his own mistakes.

Hah! point out my mistakes and steer me in the right direction? that's funny, cause that's not what I read. looked more like picking apart everything I said so you could make accusations and assumptions about how I'm doing everything so "wrong". Ok, so I stubbornly chose to use an oil feed line slightly too large for my application and suddenly I'm half-assing every single thing and not spending any time looking things over or double checking anything, cheaping out and trying to get away with the bare minimum? Now I'm a complete idiot who knows absolutely nothing about cars and is ignoring every single piece of advice (if you could call it that, more like criticism) given to me? come on! I've spent a considerable amount of time researching everything. and I've spent way more money then I ever planned on spending on this project. once I went over-budget, I tried to find a couple ways to cut some cost back, such as going with the cheap oil filter relocation kit. yeah, everybody said not to, but I know other people on this site were able to run for weeks/months with a similar set-up so I figured I could get by for a while. well, I had to learn my lesson the hard way. There have been a couple other things like that too, but for the most part, I tried to get the best I could for everything else. I've been thinking about and researching everything I could about the 5sfte for over a year. If you hadn't noticed, I've gone with a very different IC piping set-up than I had before. I didn't just throw it together for the heck of it, I spent hours measuring, test fitting, and rigging it up to get it just right. That's just an example for you of how carefully I've been trying to get this done RIGHT! I didn't start this thread until I was nearly complete. a few months ago everything was completely in shambles. to have like three tiny things go wrong out of the dozens of different things I had to do to get this car running again, I'd say I did pretty good. After all the work I did, it really doesn't feel good to be insulted for the three tiny things that went wrong, among other things that really weren't/aren't problems at all, you just felt like insulting me for them for the heck of it. /rant

anyway, if we could get this thread back on track like I tried to do before, I looked on Alldata tonight while I was at school for the procedure for replacing the fuel injectors. What it said to do was to apply a light coat of gasoline or some certain kind of oil (I can't remember the exact wording, but I think it meant like WD-40 or similar) to all the rubber rings before installation, which I did. then in bold letters it said "DO NOT APPLY ENGINE OIL, GEAR OIL, TRANSMISSION FLUID, DIESEL OIL, OR DIESEL FUEL TO ANY OF THE RINGS OR GROMMETS!"
