Squiggy's 2012 DBP II Si Coupe

[squiggy]

Have you noticed the better shifting and no wheel hop?

Shifting is much better now. Hard to attribute it to just the mount though as I swapped out the clutch line for stainless steel, put in DOT4, and removed the clutch delay valve.

Wheel hop is definitely gone as far as I can tell. Slight side effect is more torque steer since the engine isn't moving as much.

Got the garage all nice and toasty warm. Time to work on some soundproofing. Hopefully I can get most of it done tonight.

That sucks...I've found that throwing a wrench at the wall really helps when things don't go right

My fault. I had a halogen on. A 1500w radiant space heater and a small heater. Propane for the heater ran out, which I was holding pieces of the soundproofing in front of to warm up and make it pliable. So, I grabbed a blow dryer. BAM! Blew the GFCI. I was trying to pull too much wattage.

So could the gfi not be reset? It actually killed the gfi entirely?

Cannot reset it. Completely blown. Didn't even know that was possible.

Reset button pushes in. Nada. Test button won't even budge. Not a big deal anyway as it was old without an indicator light and a hideous ivory color. Easy enough to swap out.

Another two hours and I should have the trunk almost fully soundproofed and back together. I will just have a bit left to do on the lid.

Not since I installed a PRL CAI, ZDX TB, and an RBC along with starting the tuning process. Before all of that, it was horrible.

I really think the problem is that the car is choking for more air.

Well I have everything you have but the rbc and TB but so hopefully once vit works his magic that horrible hiss will go away.

I will be curious as to the results. Let me know how it goes.
