More new bits...

Radium fuel rails with pulse dampers
Injector Dynamics ID1050X injectors
Process West billet TGV
Grimmspeed Phenolic Spacers

The fuel trims are so much smoother now - no longer am I getting variances in fuel trims between city and highway. And no longer having issues where the ECU would struggle to get the right AFR at idle or low load. I suspect the 1050x injectors still have a quality 'spray' of fuel at low loads.

Also have some Pro Speed Racing EL headers and up-pipe... getting them ceramic coated inside and out first so I can ditch the heat shields and avoid wrapping.

Replaced a dead McIntosh head unit with a Sony XAV-AX100 double din head unit, and JVC 1000w 5 channel amp. I was pretty happy with how the McIntosh used to sound, but this setup sounds amazing - the stock speakers actually have some nice punchy bass.

The JVC amp is a tiny bit too big to fit under the passenger seat (sticks out just a tad) - will have to work out some sort of kick panel to protect the RCA plugs.

Just need to get the stock facia cut to cover up the AC control unit.

What's your gasket strategy for the 3bolt uppipe?
They're somewhat notorious for leaking...
Options include iirc Cobb gasket, stacking 2 gaskets, a copper gasket, machining the mating surfaces or convert that join w/ vee bands...
Love the coating, was it done by the vendor?

Good question - will ask my mechanic what he was planning on doing. The coating was done by by these guys in Tassie: https://www.facebook.com/Ceramic-Coatin ... 435633781/ (was $450 for Ceramcoat on the inside and outside).
