New ECU cover came in.

Did you have to move the plug to the left of the cover to install? Yours looks to be further away from the ECU cover than in my late 2021 ST. Also had issues installing so I am contacting Fen.

Yes I put the cable line underneath the plate before installing g and removed the harness from upper frame and pushed it up little. I was gonna drill new holes for the harness but it doesn’t move.

Please post more wrap pics at your earliest convenience. I hope Vegas went well.

I was told I can’t use the heated steering wheel feature with this, I’d it true?

Soon enough .... beautiful.

That is correct and that is usually the case for all aftermarket carbon wheels.

It’s been a minute for upgrades for me and the wifey. Sooooo with approval I’ve decided to finish out the 3” exhaust and switch to E50. I found a gas station about 8 miles from the house with E85 and I’ve tested it (it’s on point at E85).



Parts are slowly coming in….

Ordered

-P3car Gauge with hard wiring kit
-P3 Ethanol Sensor
-FenFab fuel lines with sensor/harness
-ZFG E50 tune
-1795 vibrant 3” resonators 18”

Once finished and installed the plan is to have a little fun for 3 to 4 months then going balls out with the HPHP and injectors that Adam @ZFGracing is offering . After that will be stage 5 turbos and level10 transmission build. I like stages so I can enjoy the progression of power and not drop so much money at once. With our youngest starting preschool we are getting a good schedule down and starting to travel again…. Dublin, Ireland for Saint Patrick’s Day 2022 is nextI

Oh and I also pulled the trigger on the FenFab Intake. After many videos and asking members about their experience with it, I made the decision …. not to mention tired of waiting for the AFE.

Dash disassemble for the P3… decided to install on the right side and “might take up the whole vent and drill symmetrical holes for air flow or half like the traditional look that @UNBROKEN did.. thoughts? Right side is much smaller and will house the gauge nicely m.

Also since the start button was accessible I took it out and will wrap or paint the chrome ring satin black. 2 birds

You have more skills, or confidence, than I do. I'd never think about taking the dash apart that far, lol. In fact, I have a rattle back there and I'm waiting to get it in to the dealer to get it fixed. I'm afraid to pop off the panel with the start button to tighten it up because it moves around. Looking really good though, keep posting (y)

Appreciate it.

There is nothing to it honestly. 3 bolts behind the screen and remove it. Then pull the vents off. Full access to the start button

I YouTube a lot :)

I need to spend a little more time on YouTube I guess.
