Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
I like that heatshield design. To bad it doesn't tuck over the manifold more, not sure how clearances are though...

Re: GheyrodX - bigger, fatter, gheyer!
How well is that gonna seal? Will you have to use two gaskets or what?

So do I, I like it a lot. I think it will work very nicely in conjunction with the hood scoop and MAP's firewall heatshield. Along with the ceramic coatings on everything (manifold/turbo/downpipe), I'd be very surprised if engine bay temps were any hotter than stock.

Mine is the first and only, so we'll see. Yes, my plan is to use 2 gaskets.

Professionally detailed interior, exterior, and engine bay today...so sexy! It's awesome seeing my car look better than brand new even after 33k miles.

Very nice. Shiny engine bay is shiny.
And the interior's all nice and clean too.

Any specific reason you are going back to the Sumi's? I know you had them on your IX.

Cheaper price than the Hankooks. It's like a $30-$40 difference in price. Back when I was deciding between both those tires, they were about $8 apart with the Sumi's being cheaper. So I went with the Sumi's. Now it seems like they are in higher demand so the price has shot up to like $180 as opposed to the $130 for the Sumi's.

Exactly. When I bought this set of Hankooks they were only $1/tire more than the Sumis, but now that they're $43/tire more it's just not worth it. They're better tires, but not that much better. I was hoping Hankook would throw a $100/set rebate on them, then I would have gotten them again, but no such luck.
