Your 4th gear takes you to 130mph?
I thing the fist's gears are too short. My old foci does 130 in 4th with room to spare. But its a 5 speed.

Got all of this; map IC, mishimoto intake, big mouth ram air inlet(still waiting), mishimoto hot/cold IC pipes, TS Dp em bov, and I’m currently waiting for the AP to arrive today. Haven’t decided On which rear MM to get but I don’t plan on beating the car up at all for months as AZ gets too darn hot during the summer for that. Got it all from Ron @whoosh. Probably pick up a set of fortune autos next. A9C0DA40-F978-451C-A2D6-1F910550DC27.jpeg

New splitter! Can't fault it for $60 from EZLip. View attachment 31710
I'm also thinking of this, since I will not cry too hard if/when it gets ripped clean off the car while working on ARA stage rallies (unlike any of the real splitters, which would make me wail like a baby when they get destroyed). [wink]

I do wish that someone made these stick-on type 'splitters' more in a flexible 'shallow air dam' vertical style, like the WRC cars use on the bottom of their bumper edges.

Do you have more pics? I've been thinking about this but wasn't sure how it would fit.

From what I can see, it looks great!

How did it install? Does it seem like it's sturdy?
Yeah I can take some. It's definitely sturdy for the material. Just be very careful when installing it because it's very sticky. There are a few tiny gaps where I screwed up but it's on there very well. Also clean up the area with alcohol first.

Pro one comes in black, white, and red. The regular size comes in every color of the rainbow. Looks pretty nice for the price so I would recommend.

Deleted my sound symposer today. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting! I was bracing for the worst. I also only have 9,000 miles on the car, so that may have helped a bit. I definitely was struggling with the hose clamp until I figured out the right technique

Tips:
1. You'll need long handled pliers or adjustable wrench that opens wide enough, but not too big or you wont have room to open the pliers.
2. Remove the non-pressurized side of the hose that runs from the symposer to the cabin.
3. To give yourself more room, diisconnect the vacuum line above the symposer hose, on the front of the engine behind the radiator.
4. Bend the symposer back to the left and wedge it so it holds itself back
5. Use your long pliers/wrench to fully squeeze the clamp and slide it down off the symposer inlet.
6. Apply WD40 or other lubricant.
7. Use a flat screwdriver or small object to work around inside the rubber hose to loosen it up.
8. Wearing gloves to not bang up your hands, pull up on the sound symposer and wiggle until it pops out of the hose.

I did a 4th gear run for my latest datalog and the datalog says I topped out at ~111mph @ ~6500 rpm. I could see ~130mph in 5th, but not in 4th unless the gearbox is different (mine's a '17)
The gearbox is identical through all model years. Some early models got their trannys replaced, but that isn't much of an issue in later models.

I stand corrected,it was in 5th as I kept going and didnt push the botton to stop logging.

Looking to do my Turbosmart Symposer location BOV install. However Mountune cant be bothered to answer my email inquiries about my CEL Defender. Can I run a BOV without one and just "live" with the CEL while its on the way(hopefully since I ordered them together and the BOV has been here for 3 days)?
