Yep you made the right call. 8MM is .314 inches. 5/16 is .312 inches. I highly doubt that the .002 inches makes a difference in this case.
Metric measurements are not some weird and mysterious thing and for every size bit there is an Imperial one that is so close to make no difference for anything other than the most precise requirements.

Depending on just how "not 100% sober" you are you may be in for a really cool surprise in a few weeks.

Washed and swapped out the oem shift knob for a Beatrush knob

Changed the color of my ethanol gauge to match the cluster

I added a perrin inlet hose. I trimmed about 3/8" off the side that connects to the air box, it sat WAY to close to the belt for comfort even with adjusting it the best I could. I emailed perrin for support. I also added a K&N filter... cause... why not?

Don't expect to hear back from Perrin. I had a couple annoying issues that I emailed their tech department about and never heard back. Decided I'll probably avoid them from now on if I can find alternative brands.

I've had really good luck with them in the past. I purchased a TON of stuff from them for my old Mini (they go by Alta Performance for mini's). And I have an account with them. They've always hooked me up and done well. So hears to hoping.

Have they come out with one that will fit the 17? Look under compatibility at the bottom.

Technically they did, and that’s the one I bought. But it has the same issue where it’s tough to get it properly fitted, and the included clamps aren’t large enough. Had to use the factory ones.

Put a lift kit on my spoiler.

xenarc · 02-13-2018, 07:45 AM

@johan, where did you acquire the spoiler lift kit?

You have an automatic transmission car, which uses the regular intake tube not the one listed for the 17's.
The air box is different on the manual vs automatic cars in 2017.

Though I do agree with you on their customer service, I will not buy another product from them.

I got an email back right away from them, they offered to replace it with proof of purchase and apologized right away.

Sometimes a nice email goes a long way people!
