Good to know. I'll add those Recaro's to my list. I played soccer all my life and at 39 years old now my lower back started hurting from the stock seats. I always wondered if it was just me.I finally ticked a bunch of stuff off the to-do list and got the car all cleaned and tucked in before the dumb snow started falling. Hopefully it'll only be a few days. Now I'm all caught up on what I wanted to get done before my engine expired. The car is finally set up as I wanted it to be a couple of years ago. I was looking for much more tactile feedback, a more compromised ride and less of a soft GT car, which the Ă–hlins suspension and custom center-exit exhaust did for me.
The latest updates include an MST intake, Verus motor mounts, a custom steering wheel, and a set of Recaro Pole Positions to replace the stock seats before they cripple me. All stuff done looking for more feedback. Some impressions below...
Verus motor mounts - I went with the firmest durometer inserts and holy crap, the car now feels much more mechanical and fizzy. It obviously vibrates and shakes so much more; you can feel everything through your feet and the transmission tunnel. It is exactly what I wanted, and driving a gear higher negates much of the fizzy when the girlfriend is annoyed or whatever. There is also much more mechanical noise in the cabin, which I love.
MST intake - I was hoping to hear some loud wooshies but it's hard to discern between the exhaust and cabin noise. Still cool, even if I wish it was much louder.
Steering wheel - The stock wheel looks like it belongs on a car that costs $10,000 and it feels so cheap. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I went G-Series with a full carbon front, all the Alcantara, round with no dumb bumps like a proper steering wheel, and the carbon magnetic clickers that are basically the same as what I use on my SIM rig. I love it, even if it's going to look dirty forever.
Pole Position seats - My back is wrecked from being a cyclist for twenty-five years and would ache after only a couple hours of driving, not ideal when I love nothing more than monster road trips. The stock seats were waaaay too soft and unsupportive for me, no matter what setting I used, but the Recaros are so much better; 700km the day after I put them in and zero back issues. They're tipped up much more than in the photo.

I actually don't think it is. For example, Australian delivered cars call it a boot lol and have rings to secure a net. Also, on the left hand side of our boot we have a small netted compartment (see image) that I'm pretty sure would make the mat in question not fit. ?‍

On Amazon page it shows it fits. They just covered the rings on purpose with the 4 indents.I actually don't think it is.

Yeah after having a closer look I think it might be fine even with the side compartment. I've seen some other mats that didn't fit so I just assumed. The raised section for the rings seem like they have thought ahead so hopefully it works out.
I know some mats don't actually fit because they encroach that side compartment.

Finally installed my JB+ and dialed it in to a conservative 2pm. I've only driven about 100km but acceleration feels a little more urgent everywhere. I'm running 98RON ULP (93 in the US) and have experienced no issues thus far.. apart from dropping one of those stupid grey clips into the engine bay, because FML.

Go 3pm. That's the default position that it comes standard with. The sweet spot.Finally installed my JB+ and dialed it in to a conservative 2pm.

Yikes, I get it, only one side has a neighbor but I can’t trust people driving around not to cut the corner and smash a fender.Had a great drive today, after 10 minutes going around the car park I finally found an "edge" spot, with a bonus near a yellow M4 ?
