Nah still stock. Need to get an air filter though. Was going to get a CAI and muffler if I'm still happy with the car overall in a few months. Do you still have your Perrin CAI and want to sell it?

That was one of my initial thought. The harness to the MAF is a bit tight, and the engine torquing on its mounts pulls on the airbox which is mounted to the chassis (another reason I want to move to CAI), so the engine could have been pulling on the connector enough to slightly unseat it or something. I fed it as much slack as I could when I re-installed the MAF. It ran fine for about 15 miles today, but I had to park it to travel for work and won't be able to mess with it again for a few more days.
