Thank you all! A few pics to celebrate the new year! I just picked a Mugen header, it's gonna be installed during the clutch maintenance soon!

I also did the valves adjustment and fresh sprinkled painted the valve cover, pictures soon.

I received my AEM v2 to be sure not to run lean with the new setup :

I've installed those mounts once. Did you not modify the stock motor mount heat shield to go on top of new motor mounts? This causes a tiny drop. Both ways on my last install this mount created a idle "buzz" that was impossible to find the two times I hunted for it with client. Curious how the mount works for you.

After checking a thread here, a member asked directly and they specified not to use OEM tops. Yes you got a 5mm drop and yes my car is a little bit more shaky at idle, like every car with sport motor mounts I guess. I got a buzz noise from the interior light vibrating a bit, easy fix. But the more I drive it the smoother they get, maybe they need to be broken up.
