Got the car back Saturday afternoon. Engine feels strong and is making considerably more power than the last one. The clutch is good now too and that's helping. I have to baby it for a few more days before I can really experience the improvements, but I have high hopes.

I forgot how annoying my motor mounts were...

Looks like the shop that did the work on my car royally ####ed it up. Since I have gotten my car back I have:

Had my fender liners come flying off and my skid plate destroyed because it wasn't properly secured

The right side of my bumper come off because of the violent nature to which my fender liners came off

Not enough coolant in the car and then a massive coolant leak today

The shop that did the work sucks ### and unfortunately, they have to fix it.

I hate this.

If there is anything mechanically wrong with it, I am having it taken to SCR because this is bullshit.

A friend's shop did the work since he knew the insurance adjuster and made it so the adjuster overlooked the fact that I had a CAI on the car.
