Just another run with Egon after getting some electrical work done. I think a fresh alignment is up next. As well as swapping to a more aggressive brake pad.
I also want to change my intake. Now that I've been driving Egon again, I'm reminded how annoying the Neuspeed intake's harmonic are (that goose honk you hear when I get on throttle). If I can find a used Evoms intake, I'll snag it in a heartbeat.
This is also a test for my One X2 mounting solution. I think it turned out great, though some slight changes are needed so I can get my boost gauge in frame. It should be doable without wrecking the dash view. Though am going to try another method later using my Gopro and overlay that into the X2 footage too.
