Finally picked up the car today. I cant be more happy with it. I have already done some mods which I will list with a couple of photo's.
Next up is the Subwoofer replacement. The B&O sub is, to put it bluntly, shit. I have since replaced it with a Pioneer item that is 10x better. I added fill to the Sub enclosure just to give the low frequency a tightrer sound. This is personal preferance which I have done for every Sub enclosure I have had.
Note of warning, getting the exisiting surround cover off is touch and go. The guide I used warnmed to be easy, and I was not easy enough and broke it. Its now glues back together and left off until tomorrow which I will put back on. If it doesnt go back properly I will either leave it off or 3D print a new one.
Next up is the covers for the holes in the front wheel fender covers. I'll wait till tomorrow and give them a bit of a sand and paint with that engine firewall paint (not exactly sure what its called).
And lastly, I have installed a J&L Oil Separator catch can. Yes I know these motors are designed without the need to have this, but for my own piece of mind, I would prefer this oil vapor be collected instead of re-introduced into the head. All plu and play.
A warning though, that engine cover that sits under the Strut brace, this is carbon fiber. I thought it was just plastic made to look like carbon fiber, boy was I wrong. The top of my hands are all chopped up from running them underneath installing the Separator hoses without taking the cover off (even though the instructions said to I was being lazy), my car now has my DNA embedded in it.
