Default Update

So issue found....the sleeve on the vararam intake had come slightly off on the underside....shop is fabricating a new sleeve and adjusting to hold in place...up on left about to get an oil change too then will hopefully be good to go.


want to shout out to mike at solar for being reachable and helpful during this process, great customer service as usual! Hopefully last time in the shop for a while!!

No such thing as "slightly" coming off when it's in the intake air stream! Sounds like an easy fix.

Enjoy the car!
