Sadly at this point all 3 of my dremels had let out the magic smoke, so I'm on hold till a new rotary tool arrives. This time a made in Germany Proxxon tool. Can't last a shorter life than the dremel brand dremels...

Bruh, pick up a new main board for like $15 bucks on amazon.

How do you like this? Is it a significant upgrade to the 3 and did you get the DSP option? I have the 3 now but BT and sound quality are not where I want them to be but I really like the OEM look.

No more AVIN 4? The widescreen one looks pretty good and a few retailers have that version.

[Obioban]

Does this version still have the wireless CarPlay?

Yes— that’s in use in that photo.

Nice pants

Ha. I woke up early this morning, so snuck off to work on the car, still in pajamas... and the Avin seemed like a clean project to do, while not wearing car work clothes.

I'm beginning the process of building a house (of which I'll be DIYing a fair bit ), so car mod progress will probably slow down for a while. I also have no place to do car work during the construction phase
(but will have a kick as work shop at the new house-- first time I'll ever be designing my own garage!)

The M3 is probably, sadly, going to live this summer/fall in a storage unit, in go to the track mode (track tires in the back seat, track bins in the trunk)... and likely only come out for track events. The M3 wagon will be handling the fun driving this year. I won't have garage space during the construction phase, and don't want to leave the M3 coupe parked outside...

totally understand mate 😘

Do you have a house-build thread? It'd be interesting to see that process.

[Obioban]

Cool then wait for your update on more work on your sweet ride

It’s basically...
50 lbs of roof
50 lbs of seats
50 lbs of battery
50 lbs of wiring/electronics
100 lbs of many misc smaller items

I believe there was a thread you made back then on everything you did on weight but can’t find it .

EVERYTHING matters. Consider weight on every single thing you do to the car.
