Ive gone through all 100pages of this thread so far and there's some really good detail about the build.
I was just wondering from the guys who have done it and lived with it for a while if there's a list of things to look out for/upgrade/fix from the kit.
I'm trying to build a nice street car which will see the track 6-10 times a year.
Bit of background.... my stock FA20 ended up with a hole in it so I decided to go with this kit. Ordered in March 2022. Arrived in Sept 2022.
So far what I plan on doing is
1. Secondary heater line to thermostat. That seems like it's had positive results
2. I'll get the stock DS shortened, as it seems like it helps the most with the vibes
Any other things I should be worried about when doing the install?
I was owed some parts Kpower forgot so I bought the new f/p relay at the same time. I'm gonna wait for an official fix before I tinker with that.
I did read issues about the sensor grounds in the loom, has more people experienced this? Should this be on my fix list?
Thanks for your guys help and appreciate thr patience with a newbie

As much as I love the reduced vibration of the 2 piece driveshaft I think you should try the 1 piece first and see what you think. It's easy to swap out if you aren't a fan but could save some money as everyone's opinion on acceptable NVH can vary quite a bit.
I haven't done the added ground wires but will at some point. I've driven roughly 14k miles on the swap without the fix so it will work just fine without it set up right.
At this point I imagine that the dipstick hole in the oil pan has been fixed but worth checking before you bolt it in for good.
Flex pipe in your exhaust system is going to be needed.
That's about all I can think of at the moment.
