Received some nice goodies from the Rezlo store:

Boost gauge and Oil Temp, will show install pics soon.

Oil temp and boost gauge

Although the Apexi Power FC displays boost, I would rather have other things there on quick reference like knock values, and the fact that it displays in mm/hg is not easy to adapt to.

My car sprung a real bad oil leak from behind the front crank seal, when I removed the crank pully one could see the front oil seal was warn out a little.
I measured the crank in the motor with my magnetic base dial gauge and it is off center by 0.1mm, so it was only a matter of time before I would have a catastrophic breakdown, luckily this happened right in my driveway and not on the road.
State of the car now

Absolutely nothing, waiting for new crank, bearings and seals.

Then reassemble, and see what happens.
