Starting in first and below 2k lugging yeah there are more vibes but I like them. They are like a soft vibe that tickle :lol: . I Like it!!! Header isn't hitting anything now YES. Feels like I'm actually driving something now....

It's a motor mount.

aahh now it all makes sense

Rear Motor Mount. The right is stock and real soft to keep the cabin quiet and vibrations down. The left is the stiffer, more solid, and smaller bushing for a lot less engine movement and better shifts. It helps a lot with the sticky tires as my car wheel hops with the stickier tires. The stock mount is very soft on these cars

Here is a quick exhaust video with some flames between some shifts. Mm me like the flames.

OVTune update. I am now on the 4th hex file revision. Will be on my 5th by this weekend.

Customer service:

He has been very quick to respond. He messages back within the hour 70% of the time, if not a few hours later and always within the same day. He has answered all my questions regarding anything and everything even if they are random and stupid. He has a sense of humor but takes things serious when need be. He has been nothing but helpful to me.

Tune:

Well I don't know what it is with this 4th revision but it feels like it got fed cocaine. The car is power happy at almost all rpms. Car pulls significantly better lower end than before. It also has some more oomf at the top. VVT is a lot smoother now, cars pedal feel is very linear compared to stock. Very satisfied so far last Vdyno put me at 173whp/152wtq which means nothing except compared to the stock Vdyno which was 159whp/140wtq. So I've seen a pretty good increase so far in power. Actual numbers probably won't be that high in the end but I don't think they will disappoint either. Lastly, I was flashed a rpm limited map to test my gauge cluster and it is off 250rpm. My point I want to note is how I immediately noticed how terrible the map was. God the car ran terrible I was like wtf happened?? Well I talked to my tuner and it was the stock map with an rpm limiter on it. So I could 100% see the difference there it was like night and day. I don't think I could ever go back it was awful.....

very cool. i'd love to see what it would put down with some decent cams.

Me too, with some head work this thing could make some good numbers I'm sure of it

Wow, I didn't realize you had put this much time and work into this thing. Great to see you out at the autocross - you were looking good out there! Congrats again on first place. Headed back to Florida for the summer or will I see you at some other BRR events?

Thanks Brad. I will be here all summer. I don't know how many events I'm going to do as I don't know if I want to kill these tires off too quickly. Going through tires each summer wouldn't be much fun at the same time I want to see what this thing can do with this tune, catless and RMM can do. So I might attend a couple

About to be on the 6th revision now on this tune. And my butt dyno was right guys. This thing has way more pull. It is so nice and flat I love it. I'm only slightly knocking 4000-5000. So we are almost at the peak power I;m going to make. But, he is upping the timing at lower rpm and higher to try to eek more power out of it. He is also adjusting AFR's and other things Car feels damn smooth. I just can't believe this beast. If I can get into the high 170s on a dyno or low 180s would be awesome. Vdyno's are usually only a few percent off so this is looking solid. The more revisions the better this thing gets.

Rode in this the other day. Can confirm vibrations made my nether regions tingle in ways I've never before felt.

[Kaan]

will this bling work for your brake line issue?
