You were definitely fortunate with that one!

Decided I couldn't wait any longer. Finally put on my new wheels which I have been holding onto since October.

Damn, that looks sharp. Clean and tasteful all around. I wouldn't mind seeing a straight side-shot if you have one.

So I found out a couple weeks ago that my passenger side intake tube is cracked right before the clamp on the throttle body side. Today or tomorrow I plan on installing the MIO-H370Z09AIBK Mishimoto intake tubes instead of replacing them with stock intake tubes.

I really like the look of them but I'm still considering returning these and just ordering the stock ones, mainly because I'm unsure of how these Mishimoto tubes will hold up. I can find tons of threads about these tubes but no long term reviews of them. I'm also concerned with them negatively affecting the engine as I've seen some posts stating that the stock intake tubes are designed that way for a reason.

Has anyone had silicon intake tubes installed for a while now? How are they holding up? Have they caused any issues?

Thanks! This is the only side shot I took of it so far.

replaced mine with silicone for the same reason as you. No issues after 2-3 years that I know of but I did have to trim one a bit because the fitment was not good and that was really annoying to eyeball and get right..I have the HPS tubes.

Ksport coilovers. They ride pretty decent for the money. I've had them for almost 20k miles and they're still holding up great.

This seems within the acceptable range.

Would y’all replace the tensioner if it was as your car, or ride it out for a bit? Belt replacement recommendation is 30-60k, I’m at 52, I think the option is now, or 30k from now.

Looks fine as far as being within range, I'm at 96k miles now and still on original belt, and mine is falling almost exactly as yours within the marks

Nailed it w/ those new wheels Future, really look proper on your G!

Glad to hear you're still happy w/ the KSports, I've got 75k on my Megan coils and they still perform pretty well, and for the price point, not a bad return

Yeah, sadly those cutouts actually look better than the one on my spoiler. But the overall fitment is decent. It's workable.
