I just purchased a mtuned coolant reroute. I will be also purchasing this itemize list after my wheels are paid for. I have redeemed one request at the beginning of the thread with my wheels and replaced them with the cr01 15x9+25 with 15mm spacers to fit under my flares.

This just arrived. Used and one hose is compromised so luckily I have two lower radiator silicone hoses to manipulate a similar cutout.

Just purchased my advanced heat resistant products mentioned up above minus the lava blanket.-
Spark plug boot covers, heat wrap for all the radiator hoses with heat resistant zip ties, Gold adhesive wrap for the transmission tunnel to reduce cabin temps and firewall drivers side, and heat wrap in 1" diameter for hoses and 2" X 50ft for downpipe and exhaust.
So this plus the reroute and under tray with spal fans equals dramatic engine temps dropping. I'm still considering a bonnet vent.
Also Jeff linfert will be fixing my dd issues.

I'm confused... why sleeves for the plugwires? Those things are usually used in applications like domestic V8s where the plugwire is exposed to an exhaust primary.
Example:
It's not usually a concern with DOHC engines like ours where there is no direct exposure.

Today I lowered the rear about an inch and added 15 mm spacers all around. I couldn't be more proud then what I am now for how the car sits.

Reroute is done. MS3X is still currently being fine tuned. But for now
Car is going back for more tunning on the MS3X. Can't wait to have it all to myself. Took these today before the drop off.
