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.
