Hooked up an air hose to the front of my Weapon R intake filter and ran it to the wheel liner (poked a hole in it) for cooler air. I couldn't figure out a way to use the OEM air feed.

Installed Crawford Power Blocks, nice little mod with some nice improvements in 3rd gear. Thanks to Kevin Nguyen for the blocks!

How tough was the install? Any fitment issues?

45min total maybe? Direct bolt on fitment machined perfectly. Most challenging was lifting the intake manifold high enough to slide them under but i used a hammer handle for better leverage and they slipped right in and everything bolted right back up.

Take them apart and redo them yourself. Use lots of molly grease on everything that moves (just not the brake pad surface). Use silicon grease on the caliper posts.

Thanks! I just brought it back to them and they fixed it. But quite a disappointing experience from the dealership, I expected better.

Track day! Gorgeous weather. Perfect for testing out new suspension, alignment and tune.

Three wheeled while leaving a steep Burger King exit... Car got stuck. Ended up reversing and finding another way out.

"Have it your way," yeah right.

Amber fogs wired up! Finally! I love this classic look of amber and blue contrast.

If one of your rear wheels is off the ground and the diff free wheels and you're stuck, you can lock up the wheels by using the handbrake just a little.

Installed a Bayson lip


Was worried about it being shipped this way but fortunately it straightened out.
