What did you use for an attachment method (box to car)?

I need to get my butt in gear and attempt one of these. That big wooden box is always in the way.

Installed the K&N drop in filter today. definitely notice an increase in throttle response. Hard to say whether or not it gave me a power boost though

First Oil Change. Installed Fumoto 108 Valve from Quickvalve. Plus a K&N HP1004 filter. Had to jack my car up a mile to get my jack stands under it. Top mounted filter makes changes stupid easy.

The bilsteins are nice and firm, they have a break in period so they should smooth out fairly soon. So far I have dropped 0.6" in the rear and 0.4" in the front. The car is more planted and seems to actually have significantly more grip with the stock rubber. As reference, on a 90 degree turn I would squeal the tires at 25+ mph, now they're squealing at around 35+ mph and I haven't had a slide yet (fastest 90 degree turn so far pre-alignment has been 40mph). I told myself no hard driving until the alignment, but that lasted about as long as the breath it took to say that to myself lasted. The springs are quite nice too. The balanced spring rates seems to have taken away a significant amount of oversteer but it is too early to tell if I now have understeer or what. A good autox session should illuminate that subject. If the car was purely DD, I would probably have stuck with the stock dampers and used less stiff lowering springs such as RCE yellows. For a sports car (vs sporty car) this is actually what I expected stock to feel like prior to test driving. More and more I am liking the stock rubber better than I originally did, this new suspension has firmly planted that feeling in me (pun intended).

That is my quick review. I will have a more thorough review once I have had an alignment to ensure toe is ok and I have annihilated enough cones to know what I should tinker with next.

I just have the standard halogen bulb and I find it bright enough for me. You could probably swap them out for 912 or 921 Led bulbs along with the proper socket.

Glad to hear that velcro will do the job. I do plan to start with a gauge pod to get the hang of the process.

Seriously! I need to invest in (or make) some race ramps so I don't even have to bother with a jack for oil changes. But that valve is one of the best inventions ever. I will put one on every car I own.
