Cool, sounds like it's coming along! I admire your tenacity. Lol. I need to get back to working on my engine soon.

Thanks, it’s something to do.

Got it done, had trouble with the wastegate dump tube, going to have to modify it. Need to finish tunning, swap transmission pan, relocate the battery, then I’ll be done.

Got my down pipe wrapped, it’s being a pain putting it back on will try tomorrow and install the wastegate dump.

Ordered a new 38mm wastegate dump tube, other ones wouldn’t fit , too tight of space, So ordered flexible tube.

New tires feel good, 7 years on the old ones, they were cracked and dry rotted. Also my part throttle tune is really good, cruised up the mountain at 50 mph with no problem, temp got to 204 degrees with the fan switch on.

Got my tires and down pipe routed to the exhaust today, really quiet cruising and at idle. Sounds really good through the 3” cutout. Only stuff I need to do is relocate the battery, get the new hood and then have it painted or wrapped. The only thing that I need to do is wrap the down pipe to where the Y use to be.

I hope it doesn't ruin the nice aesthetic of your car.

Need it to keep the rain and snow until next year, don’t really care what it looks like. Car needs paint pretty bad anyways.

Hopefully it won’t be on long, it’s 11x14 so should fit nicely, I’m going to use the double sided tape and also going to use screws to secure it. Probably paint it satin back since I have some spray paint.

Here you go.

What does the hood look like?

[ssms5411]

Ordered a hood scoop today, since it’s going to be abit longer to get the $925 cowl hood. Don’t want to charge it, so the scoop should get me by in the meantime, only $33 off eBay.

Got my appointment again for the down pipe to be routed to the exhaust and new tires installed. May 6th. Hopefully it makes it down and up the mountain. Really just worried coming up, 14 miles climbing from 2k da to 5k da. But it’s 2 lane and there’s plenty of room to pull to the right. Then I’ll do my wastegate blow off tube and move the battery to the hatch.

Celebrated too early, still throwing the PO300, turned it back off, ABS comes on randomly, replaced all the sensors so next I’ll replace the module.
