Nice job on the car bro. I had a 07 fg2 and the progress rsb made a big difference! Also if your still running a base map then check out VitViper, he has some bad *** free base maps that are 1000xs better then the crap that comes pre loaded on FP. And for the shifting I would also recommend doing the hybrid base and shifter bushings but not the cmc, it makes the catching point real low. Lastly stick with oem trans fluid and just change it every other oil change, it's fast if you don't have the stock intake box!

I think Vit took down those maps a while back, dude is cashing in with his "etunes" for the 8th gen ppl.
I'm running a random intake MAP basemap from FP, runs great so far,no knocks according to datalogs. Going to eventually get it dyno tuned locally though
i'm 50/50 on those shifter bushings, i hear that unless your current bushing is trashed, there is almost zero noticeable difference lol
Speaking of intakes, just ordered this over the weekend

Re: $amGD3's 2009 FG2 Si Coupe
My buddy installed the header last night. Install was fairly simple with shop tools and a lift
The only bitch part was taking the cat off since all the bolts rusted and taking the oem header off (had to take off this bracket that holds the eps sensors)
Also, somehow in all of this, something came loose in the resonator and now theres a rattle in high rpm's UGH

You'll like the Rick spec'd intake. It's a beast for sure. Also your lucky you did the install on your back. I did mine on my back in the gravel. Not a fun time, especially since I had a go power 4-1 so fitting it over the steering rack was nearly impossible. Keep up the good work bro

Yeah it does take a while for them to ship out but when I ordered mine he upgraded to the velocity stack version free of charge due to taking so long with shipping. Hopefully you luck out with that too!

Re: $amGD3's 2009 FG2 Si Coupe
Felt like I was back in 2003 baking my headlights open haha.
Got a pair of oems for dirt cheap. Baked them and took out the ambers. Subtle but I like it. Also pretty much free after I sell the ebay ones the car came with
Also, free battery relocation ftw. Gotta make some brackets to secure it

Re: $amGD3's 2009 FG2 Si Coupe
Also had my buddy change out the shitty ebay resonator with a Vibrant unit. Unfortunately finding one with a 2.75" ID was impossible so we had to step down to a 2.5" ID for this section. Sounds great though
