Semiboring update. Replaced the driver's side seat foam, as it was getting a bit flat feeling at 116,000 miles.









Small update: My fog lights have long been triggered to headlights for a long time (they're 3600k HIDs, don't want them burning out due to cycling with the highs/lows).

So, I recently got the euro LCM and can now use the front and rear fog buttons to trigger things with in cluster reminders that they're triggered









Plans for the next month:

Jethot coated SS stepped headers
fuel injector rebuild
new pre cat 02s
new EGT
full OEM CSL airbox ducting
evolve custom tune
secondary air pump delete
new window gaskets

Dent finally fixed :roll:


















He had a downpayment on a Boss 302, but in the end couldn't deal with actually having to drive a mustang on a daily basis. I'm with him... we went and sat in one, and it was crap.

Some pics from our pickup, trip, and the enthusiast auto lot (EA was VERY impressive-- all M cars, very knowledgable, clearly actually enjoyed what they do, made everything 100% perfect, no pressure at all. I'll be back there in the future!)

Junk food and caffeine stocking for our travels:




Couple hours in, when we decided to turn on the nav:




Some pics from EA:





























The actual delivery/car:

















We didn't tell anybody about what we were doing out there, but we posted hint-- trapster map and some misc pics as we drove home posted on facebook where the M5 is slightly in the background.









Creepy place where we pulled over to pee:




Full trip:




^went through Pittsburgh to get dinner with Mr. Wolfe.


Ordered a bunch of crap to keep her driving like new...
-new front control arms
-new seat cushion
-new precat 02s
-new EGT sensor
-new CPV... even though I did it when I installed JVTs at 98,000 miles, making this one <20,000 miles old. Still, the part is cheap, and it's super easy when the headers are off.
-new header gaskets, studs, and nuts of the SS stepped
-new gas door spring (mine has stopped holding the gas door closed... sometimes)
-cargo net for the trunk
