Thanks!

I never thought about going upwards with it. Stealthy. It's funny you mention the gps though because I was just thinking I needed to find a windshield mount to control the little JVC app that imitates a touchscreen for the head unit. What kind of mount are you using? (If you're happy with it that is)

Installed spc toe bolts and camber arms. What a nightmare. Marked where the old toe bolts were but when i was done my driver rear was so toed in it was undrivable. Went back and adjusted the toe somewhat better. Then i reread what jason ya was saying about not being lazy and doing the inside because the alignment tech may screw it up. Soooo i went back and did the outboard side. Metal splinters everywhere my holes look shitty but im done. Hopefully my sloppy holes hold an alignment. Gaah this car is a love hate.

yes.. I actually bought that extension just for that purpose... the extension also saved me by cutting off a bolt in a otherwise impossible location

Thanks JHc. Trav I used dremel 115. It was just awkward down there. My holes are fine just not perfect like the diy. The cutting was done in 5 min max for all 8 cuts it was very quick. I just had to take the bolts out a couple times after re reading the diy to make sure i was good. Easy diy difficult positions.

Welll figured it was time for a bigger intake than my nismo rtune. Still not completed as I still have to add 1 coupler,1 clamp, bracket, and last to make a heat shield. Now I have to wait for my 3.5'' maf housing and nwp tb.
