Noob from Chicago
Hey all, longtime lurker..... I recently bought a 2007 chili red MCS (aspen white top, black billet wheels, white racing decals, driving lamps, leather, cold weather package) looks sharp, with some miles on it, found lots of great advice on NAM so far. Getting ready to change out the vacuum pump, turbo oil feed line, pre cat o2 sensor, valve cover gaskets, spark pugs and oil. Later I'm doing new OE suspension, struts/shocks from bilstein and springs from h&r.
Just wanted to say that Bar's Leak Stop in the crank case has worked great at stopping oil leaks that came with the car when I bought it....black vinyl electrical tape on the D ring has worked great at eliminating the rattle from the rear hatch......the Kinugawa turbo oil feed line for the MCS I found on Amazon for $40 seems very well built, I would recommend.

Hi and welcome to NAM!
I am not a fan of oil stop leak!
The rear hatch has two adjustable (threaded) rubber bumpers to keep the hatch from rattling. (not always 100%, but usually effective.

Welcome, post up some pics.
