Your brakes shouldn’t be an issue with that fluid and good pads. Bled and bed in properly :)
I was quick to condemn the fluid choice after seeing on here it wasn't the best option. I've bed in pads both oem and high friction countless times before.

Only other thing i can think of is that i should pressure bleed it next time instead of vacuum bleeding.

I do a regular old fashion bleed to get rid of all the old fluid and then finish off with a vacuum bleed. Has yet to fail me. I am too cheap to get a Motive bleeder.

Wasted some time, trying to release some valve cover pressure ?

Added a valve cover breather, won't share the manufacturer because in my opinion it's kind of a cheaply made knock off of Vader's original design. Literally a hacked off piece of rubber. Took a couple weeks to arrive.

Vendor is a gold sponsor here.

Does what it's supposed to do, breathes. Except the pressure pushed the cheap rubber connecting it, and now it spits oil before it gets to the filter.

Looks alright.

Then washed it today and test fitted where I wanted to mount my timer.

@djmad just saying, that’s an absolutely horrible spot to mount the timer.
It does take up more real estate on the windshield than I'd like, but I'll make do with it ?.

I was hoping it would sit lower and closer to the windshield, but didn't realize the RAM mount was so long. Oh well, not enough time to get a shorter one. It could be worse though ?‍♂

What’s a better spot? I have the gigantic RaceBox.

Way off to the right so that its not blocking your main view. Can only imagine how bad it blocks your view on a right hand turn.

And in other news, did the final stuff to my car (other side this time) to get it ready for my track day this weekend. Drove it to work today to verify all is good and so far, so good!

That’s a lot stack. I feel like you could just use a JRZ/MCS spring hat with a shouldered misalignment bushing direct to the monoball.

Not so sure I'm a hugh fan of grinding away at strengthening webs on a major structural element of the cars chassis.
