Back all the mounts off but leave the bolts in and try to shake the engine.
What I did in the vr when it wasn't sitting 100%

Yeah that's what I did but it still didn't want to move very far. Oh well, new mounts do feel great except when idling, then everything shakes haha.

Not much to update... Taken it down the coast a few times, and did a run up my nebo last weekend, had run faultlessly also got a gfb diverter valve as my eBay special was leaking above 15psi also re-arranged the pipes a bit to hide the dv under the charge piping more a beater look. Pics for clicks...





Tight fit but nothing rubs

Sooo been a while between updates. Not much has been going on, she had been running sweet. Getting a bit sick of looking at my bumper not fitting right so I have decided to ditch the pwr core and buy the cts fmic kit, the core is about 20mm thinner so should fit a lot better and the pipes do look pretty.



Also had some spare time yesterday so I decided remove the afe intake and fit something a bit smaller. Found a pod sheild at autobahn that fit perfectly over my 3" k&n, just had to make space for the icm






Went to bunnings to get a bracket haha


And installed

done a few little things while I'm on holidays. Painted the 034 engine cover wrinkle black and re-wrapped the to part of the downpipe..


And today I did an oil and filter change, check the oil pump pickup while I was down there, all looked sweet..
