Few small issues regarding fitment but this is due to a mistake with the factory. 10 minutes with a file and it's all good. SSM have been very good responding to questions and whatknot.

Fitment to the TB was tight...not sure if it's just cause the threads hadn't been used before but yeah it was tight. I'll take it out tomorrow and put it in again maybe with some WD40 to ensure they'll go in as easy as OEM.

Anyway, only issue right now is hitting my strut brace! I have managed to move the entire strut brace over about 5mm, I'll probably flatten the weld's on the top of the intake a mm or two first, and if that still doesnt give me enough room, I'll do something with the strut brace holes. 3-4mm clearance is all I'd like. Rear and front mount's are new so the engine doesn't move at all really.

What else what else....modified the injector cover to fit nicely.....excellent it looks good!, ordered a new 3" 90 degree bend couple for the intake, it will bolt right onto the factory L piece off the MAF which is good (as it sits closer to the front of the car) that was $20 delivered which is pretty epic.

Tapped the holes for the throttle cable so that's all hunkey-dorey now....and yeah....not much else left to do.

Just got back from NG. Ended up going out on the road course with Advanced drivers group as with the some experiance only group was out front driving by myself. Was lonely out there. So went back and changed classes to get out there with some real competition and ended up passing a few VR4's to put me out front again. Well 3rd from the front anyways. Only found 2 VR4s I could not catch and pass. Not back for an NA. At 1 point there was an M3 in the line up behind me and a fine VR4 behind him with a dash cam. At some point he does catch and pass the M3, but as you can see in his dash cam I am no where to be found. I have a 1/2 lap on that M3. Did fine at auto cross, but lost the trans at the drags, like always. Still did ok though. After blowing the trans and costing 200 ft through the trap, was still 14.880. Can't complain I guess, Just a little pissed, as I only had the trand in for 4 days. And the LSD I had installed did nothing for me. Still smok-n 1 tire. LOL. I also found that the SOHC trans has much different gears. Everyone says those SOHC feel so torquy. It's only because of the close gears. Think I am going to stick with the SOHC trans, but get aWavetech LSD from the DSM group instead of the cheap crap I had put in.

[jessecain1]

what kind of Lsd were you running? obx? would really like to see the dash cam if you have it.

[GTwizard]

That dash cam can be found on the 2011 NG media thread as well as you tube. I will try to find the link again. The LSD was from Mid America. Spring type. I heard it had good results in other cars. But mine just powered through it.
Jessicain1. Post some pics of yours. would like to see your engine bay.

[TUFFTR]

I'm using the SOHC manual....didnt know they had different gearing!

1/4 time is epic considering you didnt have the foot on the pedal for 1/4 of it!

[MR2]

Epic is getting overused these days...yes he did very well...impressively even!...but..Epic...

K, you take off your turbo's, disconnect your propshaft then try and hit a mid-high 14sec 1/4....that's a damn good time!

[MR2]

Oh it IS a good time...definitly...I'd say Excellent even.

still not a fair comparison, because he'd have to delete all of the AWD weight.

Well, yes, so do that aswell. 14.8 in a 3L FWD is a fucking sweet time considering he broke a gearbox halfway through.
But like, you get where I was going :P
