I have cad files for these mounts. If you have a 3d printer near you, you can get them for cheap. Most 3D print shops will run you 60$ or so plus shipping. May be better to check kit car direct.

It was confirmed that vehicles older than 25 years will not be subject to the tariffs. Classic Cars Won't Be Affected by Trump's 25-Percent Automotive Tariff

I'm thinking second hand imported 7's will get hit really hard. Seeing upwards of 40% tariffs on a bargain 7 @ 22,000 would be 31k. Yikes

@JohnCh is it possible to sticky this or put it into the knowledge zone? Lot of great info here.

I've been down this rabbit hole for a little bit now; I'm looking to grab ITB's for my car. Note, it is a separate engine, however the mechanic's are the same. For the Jenvey, you will need to adapt it to your car. The engine builder of my car, who has a PhD in something smart, recommends doing some changes to these out of the box. DVAPower website If you scroll to the Throttle Bodies section, you will see what I mean, some bending, drilling etc. There is also the aspect of tuning. I am lucky that my ECU plugs directly into my harness, without requiring any cutting and uses all caterham wiring loom sensors etc. I am lucky in that there is an adaptor to the S3 harness that I have, and the TPS is reusable. Having done it a few times with my ECU, I'll need to reset my TPS, in addition to adjusting injector dwell / pulse width, you'll also need to double check your ignition advance. There are small tweaks which you can do but it requires an understanding of the software. i'm admittedly not great at this, but it helps to understand it. Jenvey should have an adaptor to your harness where you plug it in, you can ask for it.

Ive got the FIA bar with a half hood on an S3. I can confirm it fits a little loose/long. I'm with @Vovchandr, the padding is more of a mental support than an actual safety tool. Speaking of safety, I'd thinl the foam cover is worse (could retain water) and encourage rust. I'd ditch it, order the S3 half hood and call it a day. Your wife's height may require a cross bar pad or some sort of generic head support from jegs, if so desired.

Yes, with my emerald, I turn key to on, fuel pump primes, then start. You might want to check your map for fueling on start up. I believe mine is set fairly rich to compensate for what MV8 has mentioned above.

Dave walker does a free remote session to help you get the car running. I highly recommend using him. There's a contact on the emerald website. Looking forward to this.

@CBuff and @BlakeJ swung by today. They motivated me to finish my horn wiring + helped organize the garage a bit. I owe ya! Will drag the desktop PC to the garage tomorrow when the rain starts, and see if I can get into the ECU. I need to do the following: 1. check the voltage curve on the Wideband O2 2. check the output to the OBD2 gauge 3. set the fuel map to closed loop 4. Unplug the Roll over sensor (thanks @BlakeJ), so I can build up oil pressure 5. Maybe start, depending on the weather.

You found an Emerald tuner in the states? Please share. I'm on an island out here.

I have a few DVA Maps for the K series. PM me if you need one you can start work on.

Bumping this thread to the front page for motivation for everyone. Spring is around the corner.

Slick install. Looking forward to how you enjoy it.

Agreed with the majority above: 1. I take hood off when people at the show show interest in the car. You tell them the car is super light, then ask them to hold the hood. Then they get it. Their face is worth it. 2. Its thin aluminum, looking at it funny will bump it. Hammers or PDR kit will pull dents out. These cars arent worth a lot of money, if it doesnt have a few bumps, i'm not driving it enough. Since you're close ish, I can lend you my PDR kit. 3. Life is short, things are passing. Kids are the future, let them sit. I just dont want them getting burned. Car show pics someone took. Cars & Crumpets - May 26, 2024 - Photo Album it was fun edit; you got me with burned first

If i had the money to drop: meteor motorsport. I think westermann does a kit as well. Might be worth emailing either to see if they can do a raised spring height kit.
