Got the B640717 Recall: Blower Motor Wiring done today.

Also received a new fuel filler cap (had failed emissions this week due to the one I had in the car).

Installed my Borla ATAK exhaust (my Christmas present to myself). Took my friends out for a holiday "thank you" meal since they are always playing Tetris with cars in their shop to allow me lift access for such projects. Revved engine in the parking lot (of course fully warmed engine) like silly children, all agreed the exhaust sounded amazing. Drove car around for a while smiling from ear to ear, downshifting whenever possible (lol)... I love the sound of this exhaust. Car will be headed to the exhaust shop soon to figure out a custom tip solution, and possibly remove secondary cats. And, with the cost of gas being so low (see pic below)... I may go driving more before the night is through, just because

Life is good

Would have been a good time to get a single piece aluminum undertray from deansbimmer
Of course I find out about that undertray a day after I picked it up. It was the same price as replacing all the plastic panels

Post a pic. I read 285/35/19 was too tall but never read what the results are on aftermarket wheel offsets

I also read that. Thought that without rubbing we could run a 285/30/19

I am lowered a good bit but I have my rear fenders rolled and it doesn't rub. On ZCP wheels with 15mm spacers in the front. I had 12.5 in the rear but it was rubbing really bad.

I always try and fill up before I leave SC if I'm headed to NC.

I'm pretty sure SC has the cheapest gas in the country, but I still found this $2.39 hard to believe. Especially since I only fill up at Shell or QT to ensure top tier gas, so I usually pay a little more than some other places around town.

I'm going to enjoy this while it lasts!

I like that 93 octane ethanol free gas though... I haven't seen that anywhere around here. There is one station near me that has 91 octane ethanol free, but so far I have just stuck with my 93.

Nope. The charger gave me a new appreciation for it

I have a few plans for this winter, and then some major stuff in the next year or two.

But, no plans to sell. It's just too nice.

Tested my friends Individual Audio Amplifier on my car, looks like the speaker was blown when the water was in there. Called the bodyshop to let them know. Seems like they're still trying to get me to pay for some of the parts, which I won't do.
