I changed the oil. Timed it just right, the drive to drop off the old oil yielded a ‘Change Engine Oil’ notification on the DIC. my 2 mile commute is definitely geting noticed by the computer. I’m now at 52,650.
There’s a pretty good chance I didn’t reset it the last time I changed it because it was last spring at 51k miles. The previous time where I may have remembered to do so was right around 47k miles in 2015 lol.

It would be more telling if I could really remember if I reset it at the 51k change. But still 4-5k is short change for the onboard monitor in my experience. I rarely hit it in the couple years I was commuting 20-30 miles each way daily. And that was with 5-6k oil changes

Shortened the rear exhaust brace so it both clears the 8.8 and no longer taps on the frame rail.
Previous bandaid solution was heat wrap between the frame and pipe. Got tired of eating fiberglass weekly when replacing it.
My car is quiet now. Time to start getting price quotes for the 3" X force setup. Should give a nice option between commute and party.
Currently at 90db @4k rpm without the tapping. Tapping added 3 db. Gotta stay under 98 db for UAE rules. The xforce promises 85 db closed and 96 open. Sounds ideal for my needs.

gonna need to order me up a luk clutch kit sometime.
Cause this pos slave or whatever is makeing noise is driving me nuts, whenever the motor is cold when i press in the clutch and start to release it something makes a squeeling noise, makes the sound of like a belt slipping or a pulley is seizing up, does it for a few seconds, does that everytime i go to release the pedal, only untill the i drive for a bit and the engine warms up for a few mins, just gonna send it for now

Washed it, for the first time in too long. Clay barred the hood, as I could feel while drying it that it was not smooth. Obviously the whole car needs it, but it was already dark and I still needed to clean the wheels. I really need to bite the bullet and pay someone to come detail it, as I just never get around to doing it.

I had the same mounts. The passenger side mount was bottoming out and never getting tight. Took them out and put the hard rubber mounts back in.
