I think that compared to before, this is what I notice as the biggest difference:

. It feels tight. The Engine Mounts made a huge difference, when you rev the engine now it doesn't move at all.

. It feels responsive. The MAFs, CPSs, Oil Separators, etc, really changed the way the car responds and progresses. There is no stuttering on low revs anymore, just pure power.


However, the new Differential mounts also tightened up things and have exposed what can be a a possible problem. There is a small vibration that you can feel only sometimes (like something becomes loose) and this vibration is felt on the centre of the car and it happens when driving.

We have found out this morning that the vibration comes from the gearbox. Grabbing the Driveshaft near the Guibo and agitating it it has some small play. We believe to be one bolt that needs to be tightened or a bearing... Gearbox is coming out soon and we will see what happens.

That's very interesting, I will make a note of that for when I go for headers.

Gave it a full 2 bucket wash, the wheels turned from brake dust gun metal to shadow chrome.

Also changed wiper blade inserts, and another brake fluid flush for an upcoming track day.

Replaced spark plugs and connectors. M feels like it's in Sport Mode without pressing the Sport Button.
