    Took my car out for a nice speedy run this afternoon to pick up meth.

    Got the interior cleaned up and vacuumed tonight. Never mind that dirty looking floor mat, it's wearing thru in places and the rubber is super thin right there and couldn't get it to darken up after scrubbing it.

    I was/am the same way. I'm 35 now, in my early to mid 20's I needed 2 12's, mid and high component sets and at least 2 amps in the car. No mas, now bass-ey systems bother my ears too much the longer I listen to it. I was listening to NPR for a while there, till I got sick of dealing with Sirius customer service. Now I use Apple Music and listen to podcasts N stuff or one of my 10-20 year old cd's. Same with home audio, I've been a Polk Audio fan since forever, and recently added a nice powered 12" sub (another reason I don't have struts yet @Sully). My living room is complete.... For now....

    Gave her a wash Saturday and waxed the roof. Once the rain stops I'll get a nice coat of Butter Wet wax on her this week. Starting to get things together for the Dragon.

    those checks are another check box in NCS Expert. I didn't touch the brake light setting because I see no reason to put LEDs in there at this point and I guess it's a good thing to be informed when the OEM bulbs fail. I don't even know what the car will do when that should happen, but I would hope it isn't limp mode :)

    WOW you say! How did I make it look like new? Well @Dave.0 has his special sauce and so do I....Its simple.....Simple Green!

    Then I tried to find the oil leak on the R53, you can read about that in the oil leak thread. But my part from Detroit Tuned came, no more changing the exposition tank!

    @Dave.0 @agranger Dont be lusting over my custom CIA!:p

    The Acura is going up for sale, I hope I find it a good home.

    -You and I are almost identical with speaker brand choices. The only one of those I've never used is JL, I know they're good but I was always more of a Phoenix Gold and Kicker Solo Baric fan when it came to subs in those days.

    -I need to add a sub to my car and get that upgraded door speaker set from Bavsound. The wiring of the sub is a bit of a bitch with a stock stereo that has it's own amp, that's the only real reason I haven't added one yet.

    Yeah. I'm getting close to running out of foot room. I have the camera, NAVDY HUD, and a WiFi module hooked into mine. Using the module for bimmercode app and to run an iPhone SE set up for aux gauges. Also plan to use it for data logging that I need before bumping up to a Stage 2 tune.

    I want to see this.. started working on the P3 install.. would have been super simple, except my custom covered dash threw a big wrench in that.. and I ran out of time. When we get together we can discuss how I want to lay it out. Would love your feedback.. :Notworthy:

    I think this is where it got inspired from. It might end up being completely different, who knows, that's the cool thing with having the rendering is it can switched up, and ideas created seen on the fly.
