I typically leave the battery and brake fluid compartments covered. I cover the alternator and the air filters with a towel. Never had any issues spraying the engine bay with hose on full jet blast. I try to spray components from above and avoid spraying sideways into them.

Took a trip to Lone Tree raceway where I live and raced a guy from work that has a bolt on Evo X with cams. 2 runs, both times my nose was in the middle of his rear passenger door with me barely pulling.
... I need just a little more.

Update on seats: absorbed the leather balm and have went back to matte finish.
I did test a side piece earlier bht didnt see the shine due to being on the underside. Dovo leather balm. Figured it moisturizes a strop that rubs a lot and the seats (side bolstering) recieved lots of friction i wanted to moisturize to prevent cracking |

Yesterday I went for a run around some hilly turns blasting eurobeat followed by taking refuge in the coffee shop because it's too hot. My temps hang around 210F with the new oil cooler core, but I'll reserve judgement until I get it back on the track.

My legs were getting damn hot during my road trip last week so I wrapped the driver's side Y pipe (ran out of wrap for the last 5 inches.) Interested to see if this keeps temps down on the only side that matters (mine.)

Wrap the other side too, to keep things equal.

Took 2 hours but the grime from 2,100 miles of road trips last week is finally off. Cut off the beat up neoprene lip. Put aluminized heat barriers on the nuts and backing plates for the driver/passenger harness eyebolts; they mount inside the trans hump and were burning hot to the touch after about 8 hours of driving. Also ordered a Zoom Engineering inside mirror! Ab to push another tune update from Seb.

Installed Annex Coilovers yesterday for the fronts. I love them and I didn't even to the rears yet!!! They fixed my car's dive bombing under heavy braking and it feels so stable. Also, I was amazed of how much more comfortable they were to stock even though the springs are 12k. Highly recommend they for anyone new coilovers and don't know what to get. Smooth ride with way above stock performance.
