    What I did to the bolts was a "black oxidation". Is a process almost like anodization with aluminum.

    No, they are too big.

    Here are the new evolutions.

    New brakes in place, new bolts and now I'm using the spacers. The car looks more aggressive now.

    Now I have some rubbing in the front, but nothing to worry about. The tire is rubbing a bolt’s head.

    I'm very disappointed with the dog bone polyurethane bushing I'm using. I feel the car more balanced however in some rpms the vibration is very uncomfortable. The vibration amplified all the existing noises.

    Today I did some tests with the downpipe. I tested if any backpressure was generated with the stock catalyst... I installed a boost gauge between the Moroso's valve and the exhaust... The result is 0bar! No restriction! I'm very happy with that!

    I did a second test, with a boost gauge between the Moroso's valve and the engine, leaving me impressive results.. 0,25bar inside the engine! The valve is restrictive... Great! I will need to use an ugly bottle in the engine bay!
