Here's what I meant by the box lol

Yeah, well I looked thru the vehicle history and when a donut and the bolt spring kit was replaced for inspection (1 mth b4 I bought the car) the total bill was $158 something....something didn't seem right lol

Not a great picture, but that looks like the cruise control module you've pointed at.

That's not where the ticking is coming from.  The cruise module doesn't tick.  But very close to it are two vaccuum switching valves.  They tick.

Well 900kms later, the car seems to be working good. The only thing I'm unsure of is when starting it from cold, it revs close to 1700rpm until I drive it a bit. Once warmed up it idles normally.

I'm trying to ease off for the first few thousand clicks I'm putting on this one......well at least until I change my oil in about 2000 clicks.
Something I was always wondering was why I couldn't really here the difference of when I would hit LIFT....all the youtube videos I would watch, you could really hear the diff, even without an intake. Well this one, I can certainly feel/hear the diff on 2nd and 3rd gear......I'm loving it, but still have to behave Grin....Only do it every day or two getting to hwy speeds....with that said....the other motor must have been slowly dying as it was...
