Those bolts going into the diff cover bottom holes make me cringe a little. That area of the diff isn't exactly designed for load. Sure, it's an iron case, but it's pretty thin there.
I’m up 13 mph in the straight at Palmer compared to last year on stock power and still have zero issues with the Project Mu Club Racer brake pads. Great price, great track performance. YMMV depending on your local track.
My wife used to work in the service industry and she jokes all the time that I wouldn’t last two hours before telling someone to go fuck themselves. I 100% agree with her. This was in Berkeley, California as well. 9 out of 10 people are entitled pricks there.
Adding to the above after finding the Oil pressure target table in the ECU...
5500 hPa = 79psi - 14.4psi ambient = 65psi (exactly what I log at WOT)
2500 hPa = 36psi - 14.4psi ambient = 21psi (exactly what I log at idle)
Okay, I feel better now. :)
Is anyone logging oil pressure on track? I've had this interesting thing that at the beginning of the year, I logged 78-80psi or so at WOT on the street. Now for the last couple months I see mid 60's, but the target oil pressure is the same. I didn't log target oil pressure earlier in the year...
Yea the AMS stuff dropped in quality for sure.
On the opposite side, MAP (MAPerformance) has increased in quality. I have nothing but good things to say about their downpipe. I have history in using their parts from my Evo days.
Okay, I was trying to figure out what the heck you meant, haha. Neither OEM or the brembo rotors are painted. The 2 piece rotors have aluminum hats so they don't rust anyway.

Keep in mind, if you have an aftermarket manifold, those bolts won't work. They are plastic tap bolts. Whatever aftermarket manifold comes with bolts meant for metal threads.
