Your only savior is to get a long bit and use the Tstat and drill the block straight, tap it then a stud, I would do the same with the bottom one once you figure the left.

Yup only thing I'm coming up with even though I'm terrified to go to deep into the block and do some damage that can't be fixed

You did that without dropping the bumper? From what I understand, that's difficult to do with the Stillen.

What are you going to do about the missing Fuji? I think Top Secret makes a raised blank plate for that area.

I've seen volt meters with a USB port. Maybe that's a good option.

I saw those volt meters with USB port(s) too. But after some long thinking, I know I wouldn't like having USB cables sticking out from that area of the dash. So I went with a regular meter.

Also, the Volt meters that have USB port(s) were longer in length, in comparison with the regular volt meter. I was worried that I might run into interference issues (if I'd went with the USB version).

Cloudy day in DC, so finally gave the G a much-needed wash. Car hasn't aged too bad, after 6.5 years of ownership (with only one in a garage). But I'll be booking a professional detail for early Spring to address some of the more noticeable paint imperfections.

I've been to DC a few times, enough to know it's difficult to keep a car looking good there year over year. Yours always looks good, IMO.

What's behind it in the block? If it is just a water passage, then make sure you use RTV on the bolt stem and under the head. The rotaries I used to work on had two holes for the water pump housing that go into the block that were open to the water jacket behind them, and no worries once everything was properly gasketed and torqued.

If your G is RWD then you can always install a USB port in place of the dummy switch plate between the seat heater controls... That's where I installed mine. I also installed a traction control defeat switch inside the center console while I was at it.
