I should come supervise! (or help, lol)

I'm actually scheduled to do some remote tuning with Toni at FA20club.com

The UEL headers can be a bit difficult to torque down because of the runners. My JDL had some funky bends to reach the bolts but I eventually got it.

This was before the quality control issues. If you notice, most of the negativity is towards their physical parts with bad welds, bad promises on shipments, etc. He has a tuning calendar now where you can schedule time. It was either him or Visconti last year in May and Visconti was tuning aggressively and causing knock issues and unsafe AFR while Toni was safer. Plus he's a total **** and he's ruined a few cars tuning already. Toni has gotten me two ROMs now and I'm on my final one this upcoming weekend.

If y'all were planning the weekend after, I can wait. It's not like the oil needs to be changed immediately.

So now I have Whiteline LCA's and KW V3's to install once they show up. Now I need to figure out if sway bars are necessary.

I think I just fixed my bumper issue that everyone has that removes their front bumper. 97 cent Fender washers from walmart! I took a screwdriver and carefully pushed it over the clip while pushing the bumper back. So far, it's staying, but for how long is questionable.

Looks like the passenger side now and the washer is nice and hidden underneath. Can't be seen unless you look for it underneath.

I haven't noticed this problem with my car and I have the perrin intake so obviously removed the bumper.

You're one of the lucky ones. My first tab on the driver's side closest to the headlight doesn't latch on to the little plastic thing that locks it in place. The washer is basically pushing it down over the little plastic piece now. It's a flawed design to begin with and they didn't make the humps that the clips go over tall enough to latch on.

I'm going to have to look closer at it. It's a bummer this is happening, going to have to be extra careful next time I clean my filter.
