Well after almost a year of trying to hunt down my brake fluid leak, I found out my ABS unit was leaking after I went on a vacation and parked the car for a few days. Went to the junkyard this weekend and grabbed some non-abs lines as well as a 4040 prop valve. Luckily I found both at the same time in the same yard. Hopefully I'll knock out the ABS delete this week/weekend and get some injectors so the car can run at peak performance again.

Some updates. While diagnosing my issue, I ended up purchasing a thermoplastic IAB delete plate as well as a fuel pressure gauge. Also eliminated ABS and all associated lines due to the ABS line block leaking out a port. Not fun, but at least it's out. The brake fluid took a bit of a toll on the engine bay.

Thanks gloryaccordy! I'm trying to stay away from too much negative camber. I don't have a kit in the rear yet though. I either need to run a thinner tire (not happening) or camber the rear in just a millimeter or two to prevent rubbing on the fender flares in hard corners. I love trying to see how fast I can get through some of the local twisties.
Excalibur, I made the switch to stainless lines when I did the rotor over hub and legend caliper swap but I was disappointed when I didn't feel a large difference in the pedal. The ABS delete made the brake pedal feel worlds better and I feel more confident in the breaking performance of the car.

Finally got my car running right again. It feels smoother now than it ever has before. Now to get re-tuned on good injectors...
I found a suitable replacement for my GReddy oil cap (still mad at myself for loosing it).
Additionaly I went ahead and purchased a of rear lower control arms from Cheddas Auto and a Cusco front strut bar, both of which I've been wanting for ages now. I can't wait for them to arrive!

I finally decided that the flaking wrinkle red has had it. Picked this up from paint today. I'm definitely looking forward to installing it. I may even throw a coat of clear over my plug cover so it doesn't stand out too badly against the fresh paint. Either way a good looking valve cover has been long overdue for this car.
