Ordered some neoprene edging for my AutoExe intake. Cleaned and recharged the filter. Need to find a length of silicone tubing for the crankcase breather, and figure out a solution for my coolant overflow. I may also look into fresh silicone couplers, as I'm not a fan of the blue one currently on there.
Also had the car detailed, since a guy was here on site. 2 hours later, and it is raining

I've just been letting mine languish under its cover, it won't stop raining here in Maryland!
Also, I'm an idiot and somehow threw away the adapter ring that came with my steering wheel hub, and I can't install my revlimiter horn button until I find another one

You can search for a (local) guy/company with a 3D printer and have them make you one as a temporary (or not so temporary) solution.

Yup, just bought it ;)
Removed the Ray's wheels and went back to the stockers. The tread is low enough, that with the near-constant rain they were not the safest choice for a 90-mile daily commute. I forgot how much more quiet these touring tires are.
Also fit the AutoExe intake. Installation is definitely weird with this one. It just kinda sits there. Definitely a little louder than the AEM intake, but only on hard acceleration. Once you are cruising or mildly accelerating, it's not much different. Still need to come up with a solution for my coolant relocation, and to re-wrap the AFM wires.
This thread needs more pics! Would love to see the new intake installed!
I removed the aftermarket Pioneer head unit the PO had installed, because the cubby had cracked in half and it shaked like crazy in every pothole. Found a messy spaghetti behind it.
Cleaned it up a bit, "fixed" the 2din cubby and installed it upside down, so that the HU weight is at least supported by the HVAC unit. Could not resist to give a quick test fit to a (near) future upgrade.
DIY Nexus 7 install, needs some 3D printed parts for the bezel as well as some "supporting electronics", but we'll get there

How did I miss this?! I've been thinking about that for a while! Please make a DIY thread when you get it set up.
So, I heard a noise that only happened at full right lock. Took off the wheel, and found a huge gouge on my new Techna-fit stainless line. The rubber coating is gone in a huge section. Need to see if Moss can ship just one line... *Miffed

Fuck! Scrubbing with the wheel or arm?
Will do a DIY writeup with parts etc. when it's done. Already done a similar installation at a friends' NC, which turned down awesome; we managed to connect also the steering wheel buttons to control the tablet functions so it is even better.

Back to NBs!
I think I got the angle wrong when installing, and the tire is catching it. Will get it fixed this weekend. Only seems to make contact on full-lock.
Hehehe, guess it might be?
The "bezel" is just a top and bottom part, needed to fill any gaps left and give it a more "finished" look. I will also update the CAD files here so that anyone can make those easily when done.
