No vibration…. It actually tightened everything up a bit and makes for a smoother overall drive.

I installed new MOMO shift knob

temps inside and outside my airbox

What material did you end up printing it out of?

the first one was PETG. This one is ASA

ASA should work good for that.

I use the same amazon thermometers in my reef tank :lol:

they're for our backyard-rabbits when we had them :)

this showed me my intake temp is the same as ambient temp when the car is moving :)

Haha I love that temp sensor setup!

my next test is to see how hot my LICP gets with and without heat shielding :)

I almost finished the rebuild and drove 530 km to some initial D sites. I'll make a write-up of everything I did in a bit, but for now, here's a before and after. Obviously the bumper still needs painted, the passenger wheel is pushed back a bit, and all 3 acd lights are on, but other than that, it's pretty much finished.

Installed OEM Bilstein suspension I got from Japan with only 10k miles on them, and powder coated OEM BBS wheels in “hyper silver”-style color with new continental tires. The ride is 10X better than coil overs!

What coils came off, out of curiosity?

I have to try to sell them😉 (tien z flex). Not that they are bad, it’s just the ride itself is just way better over bumps for normal street driving on the stock set up.
