    Such a good feeling when you know your rods are all straight and your rings are all consistent. Convert KM to Miles so your mileage goes down. :)

    Flashed the 4th map from Jason and went for a drive on my lunch break. Car drives better and better on each new map.

    Got in the car, drove off the driveway and a couple of seconds after I got the tire pressure warning light. Drove the car back and got the keys to the wife's CX-5 and drove that to work instead. Looked like the left rear tire was flat, but didn't have time to check as I was already late for work.

    Ordered touch-up tune from Freek so I can install Code Monkey's 3" JBR whale peen when it arrives, along with a Bosch 3bar MAP. Waiting on CS RSB to make it through the Midwest winter storms so I can put that and new Moog end links on. Also just grabbed mas Rotella and a new filter to do an oil change this weekend.

    We had a quick uptick in temps to about 40* last week, and now my body says TIME FOR SPRING, LET'S GO WORK ON THE CAR.

    Corksport RSB and Moog rear endlinks are installed! Doing the oil change tomorrow. Intake install comes as soon as my touch-up map is received from Le Freek.

    I finally got fully mounted by @JBR
    Installed the PMM and TMM after checking to make sure the RMM was still torqued. Went for a short drive and will go out again tomorrow before I check everything again.
    So much more to do as well!

    Sha-BAM! 3" intake and Bosch 3bar MAP installed. Also finally threw in my DM EGR delete while all the requisite pieces were out of the way. Just gotta dial in this touch-up with Justin!

    Had to get a tire replaced because the screw that punctured the tire, was really close to the inside edge. That sucks.

    However the good news is that I am on the 4th map from @Jason@DizzyTuning and the car feels really strong on the highway. Will hopefully be able to get some datalogs soon now that I no longer drive on a donut.

    Wow I actually really like those. Do you have to drill holes to install them?

    No, no drilling at all. It comes with all the hardware you need. It takes no more then 10 minutes to install.
    [doublepost=1486142904][/doublepost]Got around this morning to install my two Sa-10's and amp. It slaps :aaaaa:

    Sweet. Do you have the stock Bose system? I've been planning on doing this with my gen 1. So far I've run the power cable. I'm a bit nervous about tapping into the pre-amp wires to run the aftermarket amp. Is that what you did, or did you go the Pac-oem-maz thing route?

    @hollar1211 I do not have the Bose. So I can't help you there my friend. But, I did install aftermarket speakers and the amp under my driver seat.

    This morning I sent my first logs into Rob over at Hypnotic to get a base map and then start on custom tuning!

    Installed the Amazon catless downpipe. Quite a bit louder now.
