Don't you just love when a box shows up on your front door step?!

After driving the car for 17 hours in one day, I was a little bit tired of not having an arm rest. I noticed that @fteightysix was having a sale the other day so I decided to order one.

It has two elastic bands on the bottom which slip over the cup holder (they are a bit too far apart though). The red stitches match very well however its not a perfect fit but it also wasn't 200 bucks. So I'm not going to complain lol.

They also had a deal on some hood struts, so decided why not get those as well?

Install was a breeze and only took about 5 minutes a side with basic hand tools (10mm & 12mm sockets). The hood is now able to open further than when the prop rod is in the OEM position, and when it is opens it seems to be more secure.

So far so good. Car seems to idle and run smoother, revs a bit easier as well. Mid range seems to have picked up some oomph and so did the top end. Its not mind blowing like FI, but it makes the car more enjoyable to drive. I did a couple data logs and currently having a few people take a peak at them just to make sure all is good before I push it a bit harder.

Just be careful of that cable connector that goes into the OFT. My pins aren't perfect and it's a tad finicky after connecting like 100 times

Thanks man. I thought that might be an issue. I also picked up one of these today. [ame="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00GGLVXG2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailp age_o00_s00"]Low Profile Right or Left Angle OBD 2 II Extension with Flat Ribbon Cable 1'/30cm CAN Bus Compatible: Amazon.ca: Automotive[/ame]
I can leave that plugged in and tuck it away when its not needed. That way I am not wearing out the pins in the obd port.

Good call on that
