To the surprise of no one, I have dragged ass at ordering parts, but in that time the UCA bushings have started to tear and cause vibrations under braking. DJ has offered use of the lift, so I'll replace the UCA's along the front brakes, shocks (Koni FSD), and swapping out the cat for a high flow unit.
I hope thats it for a while, but I'm also reading about issues with carbon build up in the intake mainfold, valves and ports. Its a DI motor so no surprise there. I dont seem to have any issues, but I'm wondering if I should pull off the manifold and take a look. BG has this intake cleaning service that needs to be done by a shop, it looks more or less like an industrial strength seafoam - anyone have any experience with it? If I pull the manifold there's some "while you're in there" things i'd probably tackle - I think there's a weeping coolant fitting that's mounted above the transmission, pull the fuel pump and have a look at or just replace the cam follower.
