Hey people After some info and advice.....it appears whatever bolt/fixing attaching the hydraulic engine mount to the engine/engine bracket has sheared off due to recent increase of power/torque. Question is am I able to source a high tensile bolt appropriate for reconnecting the two members or should I just buy a new engine mount and aaaume it comes with appropriate fixings..... it would be easy to get a few different m10 bolts with different threads for a few dollars because the mount itself is fine

ive been stuffed by the herrod cooler piping on hotside, as said above, wont allow my 4 inch plaz intake - well it does but you cant put the precision cut lid on which kinda defeats the purpose, I have one day to rectify this pipe problem before my tune, should I hit up a alluminium shop for a metre of ally and get them to do a few mandrel bends or what?

Hey Ive just fitted my new PWR stepped intercooler on my FG, Bumper in back on fine looks sweet however the black undertray in having difficulty getting it right. seems to be suffereing from a see-saw like force which I can only put down to the intercooler affecting it, If I fix the undertray at the front of the bumper the back wont pull up and visa versa. question is can I live without this under tray or is it neccessary to prevent road grime and dirt and sh*t being thrown up on moving parts like the steering rack or something..... intercooler is fresh out the box and polished and shmick under tray is an asshole can I take it off?

Oh sorry, sydney nsw One more question, as the new parts need to be tuned obviously, is it ok to change from completely stock to fairly modified and drive to the tuner in safety mode/limp mode as the ecu will struggle with new gear or should I get it towed to the shop -

Dont see how any tuner will have a hard time tuning this, standard bolt on upgrades that any shop offers and no it isnt cheaper to get these from a shop parts were 4k the other 2.5k is an allowance for xcal3 and tune and installation of everything... packages with these parts are way more than 6.5k ... its 2679$ for xcal3 tune and injectors at tunehouse -
