Looks great, and NICE garage!

Thanks, if you can make it to the Fabspeed open house down by you on October 1st I should have it there.

The garage is a large 1 car garage but with the lift it can fit 2 cars which is especially nice for the winter to park them. House is old so its detached and not heated, but do have air conditioning and good ventilation for the summer.

I really regret Googling that... I just watched a video that I'm nearly certain destroyed 10 IQ points (and I don't have many to spare).

I dig the steering wheel! Looks good! I am surprised that so many people keep that , in my opinion, annoying EffecientDynamics gauge. There is no room for fuel efficiency in this car...

I got rid of the Efficiency Dynamic gauge, absolutely useless IMO; but the OCD in me didn't like how the gauges were then not symmetrical. I didn't like how the gauge was then "incomplete"...what's wrong with me

LMAO. Made my day. :P

Thanks! It has a great feel but is much less padded than the stock wheel so may not be a good choice for some and, as mentioned, you lose the heating element but, for me, I'm happy with it.

I don't pay attention to it and haven't been bothered to turn it off. If it weren't there, I wouldn't miss it.

Funny, I thought same thing when I turned off the 'ED' gauge and upshift display. But my need to ignore the nannies is, surprisingly, greater then my OCD-like need for symmetry.

I did install my BMS clutch stop today, it took about a minute which included me forgetting the flashlight and having to hobble (with a cane today, first day with no crutches in 7 weeks) across the garage and back to get it. Amazing what about an inch of rubbery stuff will do for the driving experience. Now I have to figure out who's SSK I should get. Is Autosolutions still around?

Also, most of you will think I'm crazy but I'm going to change the shift boot and ebrake boot to leather. I am checking on having a local shop do the blue stitching on the leather boots but I think it will look fine without the blue on them. The stitching on the ebrake handle is not blue. I just don't like how the "suede" collects the lint and it does not just brush right off like the leather does.

Today I installed my radar detector using a BlendMount and powered it using a MirrorTap. Looks good, but does somewhat obstruct my field of view.

Also installed the M Performance pedals:


How do those pedals feel when comparing before and after? Did it help with more grip or made it a lil worse?

The daily driving car enthusiast in me says they are a little bit better, but I think they are mostly cosmetic and there's really no difference in grip. But they look fantastic. The engineer in me says overall grip is going to have a lot more to do with your footwear ... the sole material and any contamination that is on the bottom of your shoes.

But did I already say they look great?
