Yes, switched back to OEM mounts from the Perrin. I want to put them back in, but on long stretches of highway the added vibrations from them through the steering wheel caused my forearms to get numb :thumbdown:. They'll likely go back in over the winter.

IMO, STI mounts are the sweet spot. Strongly recommend in all cases.

I hate driving from Calgary to Drumheller....its only about an hr away but holy hell its straight, mostly flat and boring as hell lol.

Nothing beat the painful journey of driving from LA to Vegas though.....you guessed it, straight and......desert all around.

Finished break in... 1/4 of a million km on the car and still going strong. No plans for anything engine related for this year, perhaps next year.

No, no. Now is the time to do the valve spring recall.

The itch for some EL headers and flex fuel is there, but still suppressed.

And where do you find E85? Buying by the drum sounds easy enough but it is a total pain in the ass.

I've found about a dozen stations in Calgary with e85 that, according to a few locals, all test between e70-e85.
