hahah. wow, awesome progress. that fuel tank is freakin' weird...I thought you did that! lol.

The tank looks relatively narrow and tall. The center of gravity might not be helped by the location but it should feed more reliably than the X. <cough>

Your stereo headache is the exact reason I am choosing NOT to bypass the factory amp.

Eh its not that big of a deal. Did it in my M and old audi. Just have to run speaker wire to each speaker in the car, which should be upgraded anyway if you put any decent speakers in a car.

Lookin good green bean!

Well gave the car a waxing. I'm no pro waxer or photographer, but I think it turned out alright. The pics make it look better than it really is. Maybe someday I'll pay someone to do a real good exterior detail (depending on what that costs).

So here's some pics after the waxing. Also a pic of some clear coat issues the front bumper has. Once the performance stuff is done, I'll probably start doing more body work (new bumpers, spoiler, new paint, etc).

Looks pretty good. If you decide to get an exterior detail done, I would recommend the guys at the Sunshine car wash detail center in Hopkins. They have done a few of our cars. Your exterior will look and FEEL new when they are done with it. I cost me somewhere between $100 and $200 if I remember correctly. I will probably get it done again next spring since this weekend is probably the last time I will drive my car the rest of the year.

Thanks :)

What do they do exactly? Just wax? I used some swirlX stuff to help get swirls out, but I don't think I did a very good job. I'd like to get something like that done, along with a wax and what not.

I have a friend in Isanti that would probably wash, buff, wax, and detail your car for $50 and a case of beer. He has done my cars and he's done great work, I've always been very happy. He buffed out quite a few flaws on the WRX before I sold it that I didn't think would come out.

Well I sold my cams off the Talon, so that paid for a nice new China-bay GPS head unit :) Half the people say these chinese things are good, half say they suck. I haven't seen anyone yet with this one in particular. So I'll just be a guinea pig and give it a shot. And if it works or sucks, I guess I'll find out. I'll post up a review at sometime so others can know. If it ends up being good, well then sweet!! And I'll get another one for the Voy :)

What I like, is it's got GPS, DVD, and Bluetooth capabilities. I also like that it has an Aux In and a USB, both located on the FRONT. I Was having a hard time finding that on Pioneer, Kenwood, etc type units that cost under $500. One other thing I wanted was a Volume Knob. There were some cheaper china ones, but they had tiny little buttons which i didn't like. I like to be able to adjust volume quickly with a knob. And lastly I wanted double-din so that was also important to me.

Here's the link to what I got if anyone cares to check it out and tear me a new a-hole for buying china junk :D But trust you me, it's the first of many Chinese parts that will end up on the bean. Chinese turbo kit will be purchased sooner or later, haha!!!
