Motor mounts and new plugs are in. The mounts were super simple to install. If you jack the motor high enough, the driver side mount should come right out (thats the "problem" side). Then again I do have an aftermarket header so I can't comment on doing it with a stock one. The passenger side could basically fall right out, and thats with the stock overpipe in place (but again no stock header).

STi Tranny mount went in without a hitch. I forgot how ****TY the stock one is without the whiteline bushing in there.

Plugs were easy to get to once the motor was jacked up. You have to remove the ICM on the passenger side (well you don't but it makes it easier), and I took the injector cover off the driver side to get to those packs. The driver side sucks because of the fuel lines. My hands are pretty cut up from all the **** over there but swapping the plugs was pretty simple.

Stock plugs:

What was the result of the retune after the new spark plugs?

Car is looking very clean, I like your attention to detail in the engine bay!

Awesome build! how are you liking the ARK GRiP Exhaust? I really love what I have seen on the internet on how they look but I cant seem to find anyone that is actually running it. Anyways, keep up the great work!

I was told to change the spark plugs thinking it was a problem that ended up being the aftermarket OMNI map sensor (doesn't play nice with the innovate intercooled setup). There was no difference, and unfortunately for me a waste of money lol.

Thanks!

I love the GRiP. But only as is with the exhaust and header, since I have no cat in mine paired with a front pipe it, as with that setup it was *just* too loud for me. It wasn't crazy loud, but loud enough to attract attention. Plus a full exhaust hasn't really shown any marginal differences with my supercharger so I rather be quiet than be loud.

Surprising on not finding anyone running it, the GRiP is pretty popular. But glad I could help out. Thanks!

Well its been a while...figured i'd move along my journal a bit now that I should have things wrapped up by next weekend if all goes well.

Recently sold the Innovate supercharger. Thing was damn fun and I was sad to let it go. My car is no longer my DD so I decided to throw more power at it. When I first got the car my goal was to make it a reliable DD. It was that with the Innovate. I still suggest this route to a lot of people asking about my car...but now since it gets driven only a few times every once and a while, why not!

Upgraded to a JDL UEL GTX2867r Kit.

If I could afford to, i'd AN fitting every damn thing on my car

All AN fittings for turbo vacuum/boost lines. No lines popping off on this kit, thats for sure.



My Makeshift compressor housing until mine comes back from chroming



Laying in the IC pipe to check fitment and see how it looks.



Some other things I added was the matching radium can near the battery, and also rebought (yes, haha) a password JDM engine cover. Need to add a few more things but right now just looking forward to getting it together so I can drive it. Haven't driven the car in 8 months
