MKO, that brace going to the front of the car won't do any good. Nothing past the front shock towers is structural. You could pretty much cut everything off past there and it wouldn't make a difference. Triangulating your shock towers to the firewall will be a lot more helpful as will tying your k-member together underneath.
If you go with the 2.4 middle cover you need to use the sheetmetal backer (above water pump) from the 2.4 dohc as well. I just found out the hard way they don't match.
I have these tabs there, but they are from an 1g head
Thats what i've been doing for the past couple of days

I busted the dr. side rear knuckle trying to press out the last stock bushing i had on there. I got one off 8th gen, and the thing is more massive where the hub bolts up. Unfortunately, I didnt get the bolts for the hub assuming they were the same so I have to make another trip to the jy tomorrow
Mmmm nice bushings :)
Mko, you still using the GS ecu?
yes sir
Cool. I have a logger for you to try out. HEHE...Quote:

Found a crack in the windshield, just out of nowhere. Im about to drive this car off a cliff
Do you have cliffs in NJ? ;)
It is tough when things are going wrong. Just remember that every car has issues. At least you know what they are on this one.
Sometimes I wish my windshield would crack. Its heavily pitted. But i don't really want to replace it with some aftermarket safelite garbage. I want a new OEM windshield.
