I'll be adding some down bars on the plates down to the bar corners. I never liked how the DHM was showing, mine is tucked and you'll only see my Lightforce lights. Tabs for those to come tomorrow. All tacked up with the crappy welder, I'll take it off and hit it with my Miller which is at my parents.





And some gold wrapping...

Looking at it, my guess is that it was installed incorrectly. I think it got twisted when it was mounted, and the stress made it crack, right by the hose clamp.

Your other bits are probably fine, but it doesn't hurt to check them.
Probably but the hose they use is crap IMO. But yea the weight pulling it down while it's joined to the fixed point at the firewall took its toll.. Look at the photos here of the first coolant hose that burst only like 2 years or even less after buying the car brand new. Its the little elbow joiner tube that connects that hard plastic line that runs from the Coolant expansion tank around the front of the engine bay and past the battery to the back of engine. Can see it's been under stress from the way it was fitted at the factory.

Run, don't walk to your local WOOSH store! Installed PowerFlex inserts to the oem motor mounts (due to B/O of upgraded mount assy). WOW - do it now!! Plus, the center bolt on the passenger side mount (holds the 2 piece mount's engine side to the chassis side) will make you forget all about Covid 19!!

Is this in addition to the RMM or is this mod an alternative to the RMM?

These are the side engine mounts, yes, in addition to the RMM. My AWR RMM has 40K+ and has bulging discs like my spine, so it's next (again). Going with the rebuild-able Woosh brand. (Ron - you picking up on these product placement ads??)

Installed my cp-e intercooler today. Install was pretty easy. No trimming to the bumper, it fit just right. I did trim the center support brace but that's it. I took the lower grille out so I can see it better. It sure is pretty.

I then flashed my car with the Cobb stage 2 91 octane tune. Noticeable difference from stock but I wasn't really blown away. Some say it transforms the car. Not for me really. A difference for sure, but not the wow I was expecting
I saw a peak of 21psi. Not sure if that's good or not.
My charge temps started out pretty good, 1-2 degree above ambient. Then the car must have heatsoaked as I was seeing 10-12 degrees above ambient. Normal? It wasn't warm out, 75 degrees but it is a bit humid and I hit some traffic.

I'll drive it this week in my normal commute and see how it performs there. Then I'll be looking into a tune from maybe Dizzy or Stratified

Installed my Cpe intake, all I’m saying is that the hose going to the turbo is a bitch to tighten the clamp.
Yeah it is. Now imagine the 3 bolts connecting the turbo inlet elbow to the turbo further down, that's even worse! :mad:

I did brakes and rotors. OEM rotors, OEM rear pads and Hawks in the front. Both rear caliper guide pins were seized and I replaced the whole bracket.


Rear diffuser fins from Velossa Tech.

When you say took out the lower grill, did you cut it out or does the piece itself remove and leave the 6 vertical pieces? Looks awesome.

Just grab it and pull. Snaps right off leaving the 6 vertical pieces. Those pieces aren't great looking up close. But on black you can't even tell
