          I like it a lot. The only thing is if you have Plus or Bigger phone it will not sit correctly on the charger. I had to modify it a bit to get it to work with my phone.

            I installed Rogue RSMs years ago and haven't blown a mount since. I like the design.

                    Justified, 1000ft isn't enough to reach op temp, might rust out a muffler or carbon up those plugs.

                      bunch of stuff done last couple wks and got no pics. lol. seriously pressed for time.

                      got the intake, thermostat housing, and a bunch of little stuff like the covers, crossover pipe etc, hung on the engine. cleaned up the throttle body. cleaned up and blasted out the interior of the intake back to clean metal. gave it a paint. refreshed the intake, throttle body, and intake vacuum gaskets before install.

                      dropped the front sub, pulled the struts, lollipops, control arms, sway bar, and rack. got everything apart and gave it a good cleaning and quick couple coats of paint, got the sub and sway bar back in with new rubber, and re-installed the rack temporary - i have a z3 rack on the way. at least i hope. rack doctor isn't communicating these days.

                      got a shop to pull the shocks from the struts and pop in new lollipop bushings. installed new billies in the struts. have new control arms waiting.

                      i got stalled on parts at that point. ordered up new front mounts, bearings / hubs, all new coolant and molded vacuum hoses, a garagistic steering coupler kit, tie rods, some other stuff plus the rack. i won't get the engine in as planned before the snow flies but at least i'll get the wheels on the ground.


                      looks like my hubs and mounts are delivered today. hope i can get it all together.
