Thanks for the Break-in Tips

Thanks alot for all of the tips, I've been through this process before but wanted to confirm with other fellow 8 owners. I know that question about the oil has been a well long discussion through the masses. I'm somewhat exhausted about that topic but wanted to make sure I had some real info amongst other 8 owners. Plus I think the dealer is just waiting for me to hit that 100K mark and then their done with me and 8. But it is damn good to have her back in the garage, really missed her while she was out.

60GB HDD (well 55GB is the real number)
webcam
User replaceable battery
Single USB port

I was looking into this idea as well. Just wondering how much of a pain in the *** it might be. A usb hub and a usb sound card stick gives you all you need. Were you looking to use this as a stand alone entertainment unit to replace your headunit?

Perhaps the cost difference between the iPad and this thing is worth it. Looks like a bad this and bad that type of unit.

I am just looking to have soemthing to run my tuning software for the Cobb and the Hymee scanalyzer software for datalogging on runs. Having the laptop in the car is a pain, i need something easier to mount.

They were payment for my labor. They were a little stale but I still enjoyed them thoroughly.

HAHA Well I found out last week they may be pulling me back up to the main HQ in Afgan after my vacation in Feb. If they do that I will be coming home for good in Jun. I am down for installs all week long as long as we take some time off to get some "Crazy B!tches".

Seems like I'll be getting my gauge/pod ordered at the end of this week. Just going with the boost gauge for now. Whenever the next free weekend/install meet is I'll probably try to get that knocked out as well as at least a few of the speakers.

Hey Eric, here are my favorite rims on a blue R3. I think you should get these with the red and call it a day.
