Yup! I've got a few parts to install...

I had an opportunity to sit with Oscar Jr for awhile when picking up the kit. We went over each page of the install manual. I probably spent about 2 hrs there just chatting about cars, etc.

I can't say it enough, but Jackson Racing and crew are amazingly awesome to work with. I know if I need anything going forward, they will be there!

Be careful of certain spots in the trunk as it's just the backside of the exterior trunk sheet metal -it'd suck to have something heavy slide around and cause a dent from the inside because you didn't have the liner.

I would have to agree!

If you notice space loss from this liner I would be amazed. It's really thin... really thin... I doubt any space was lost...

I got the CARB Tune Kit. So it's the Jackson Racing Tune via EcuTek. It's a conservative tune because of the CARB status, but it's a nice add for us folks in CA

I might open it up later on and run E85

It was pretty easy. I compare it to building ikea furniture. I had to make a few trips to Lowes for larger sockets...didn't have the right size for installing the pulley kit. Also, I stopped at the Auto Store to get oil and did an oil change too. I installed an aluminum driveshaft at the end... So add all that extra time... I started about 8AM Sat.. Stopped around 730PM... Started again around 7AM Sunday and finished before noon... ECU flash, good breaks and all...

Initial impression:

Very smooth power and just keeps pulling harder the higher the RPM's. The engine temp was where it should be pull after pull with the added JR Engine Oil Cooler Kit. I almost didn't get it, but I'm glad I did. Now I don't have to worry about the many hard pulls and over-heating...

The revs are quick from the Raceseng Pulley kit and Aluminum Driveshaft. I noticed some shaky mirror vibrations at high speed, but that's likely from the aluminum shaft. I'll rotate it 90 degrees when I install the short shifter next weekend...

The install was easy. I had some "dumb" moments, but it was expected as I'm no car mechanic...
