In a fever of upgrades

In general, misfires are often caused by a weak spark or a lean fuel mixture.
But the OBDII system uses the crankshaft position sensor to look for subtle changes in the speed of the crankshaft between cylinder firings. If the crank suddenly slows a bit, it indicates a misfire.
Since you had crank position errors it's a possibility that that was the culprit.
Without proper troubleshooting no one can really tell.

Hood Vents cut - not as aggressively as others, we'll see if I need to cut more.










APR Splitter installed

Glad to see you back John

Hey John, it looks like your hood insulation cutout areas are untreated, and I think they will continue to fray, and also likely to soak up water. I trimmed mine close and ran a bead of high temp silicone around mine to prevent. Just FYI!

Nice work! I've got a splitter and support rods now too, but I went SBS. Love them both. Hopefully I'll get the car back together today - didn't quite finish last weekend...

Great call, thank you Chris!

Whats the next track day for you? Ill be at Laguna Monday... A return the scene of the breakdown (lets hope my newfound less harsh shifting style improves my chances of success)

Im looking forward to next week - hopefully the car will be wrapping up with new rear bumper / paint job / diffuser / RTR grill

Now I really want that track tune key since I'm going stock...


Oh, forgot to mention, I lizardskin'd the stock intake before replacing it will post a pic or two in a few.

Lizardskin Coating Pic - Stock Intake

The guys at the shop did a fine job on the coating. Looks like a factory upgrade!

Where do the splitter rods tie back to?

Does the upper point just sandwich the grille and bumper cover plastic? If so that's great.
Thanks

I dont think I'll make it to this one. Scar tissue and its a seven hour round trip that I don't relish spending part of in a tow truck.

On the bright side, the lizardskin has dropped air intake temps noticeably.
I'd currently guesstimate 10-14 degrees in light city driving.:clap2:
