The biggest surprise while swapping the rrm on this Canadian car was how much surface rust there was on the subframe, which is otherwise hidden by the under-engine tray. My aftermarket rust proofer missed this completely, so I grabbed a wire brush, some plastic bags to mask things off, then various protective sprays and some paint.
This rrm is a wonderful performance and safety mod, especially since I can now predictably put some power down in the rain, and get the car moving. Yes, the drawing I also got from the dealer was wrong, but the 5 bolts are right there. The dealer confirmed that the two side mounts support the engine, so with the car on jack stands it was easy to rock the engine/transmission while on my back under the car to get the last bolt back in.
I've done the snorkel delete, and have an open-end AFE dry air filter, and some reasonably sticky Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires. I now also have some torque steer, I guess because there's now more torque getting to the road.
