Lots of spin and feathering the throttle is needed in this 23 degree weather.

Think the subframe cracked?? Hows the clearance from intake to booster?

The gap comes back when it is cold. Tightens up after driving. I'm going to double check my mounts for tightness once this weather warms up a bit.

Meanwhile, waiting for spring.

I don't think so. I put 5 miles on it after install when I popped the hood to take a peak. I didn't notice any weird sounds or feel anything out of the ordinary. I will take a peek to see if there are any cracks just to be sure.

Installed the strut bar with 1/4" gap from the exhaust. After driving today the exhaust is now touching the strut bar. Metal expanding from the heat? My motor mounts are solid. I'll keep an eye out if the gap comes back.

In related news the wideband is back up and running. Next thing necessary to do is close up my plug gap. Now and then I'm getting breakup at high rpms.

Most recent pic as of yesterday.

I've been tinkering in the interior and am going to get that wrapped up today. Then go for a good drive!

Looks great!

Just need to switch out those blue elbows for black ones!

Thanks! Black bows are on the list for sure. My local shop only had the blue ones when I was in need.
