Finally pieced everything today. I could not justify paying amost $700 for the Racing Beat gauge kit, especially since it used be around $400... I guess I'm also one of the few that prefers mechanics gauges over electric...

That's a nice set. Did you have to buy everything separately for that, or can you get the whole set?

Thank you, I bought everything separately. I went for the same exact gauges and sensor adapters RB uses for their own kit and bought the Lo-Tek pod instead since I don't like the ash tray location.
In case people are interested in doing the same, the model numbers from the top of my head I believe are Auto Meter 3332, 3321, 3341 and two 2263 3/8" NPT adapters.
Absolutely nothing.The snow is flying another 6 inches expected today.My 8 isn't ment to drive in the snow,that's why i have a f-150 ford 4x4.The 8 is usless as **** on a boar in snow.
Replaced carbin air filters. Installed a Gentek Homelink mirror and a rear view camera. Camera was more of a "why not?" purchase after I installed a Pioneer headunit last month. I was able to fish the camera cable to the rear trunk grommet with the bumper in place so installation was a breeze.
I replaced the interior lights to LED's.
Bluish whites. In the doors I put red LED's. I think those help when opening the doors at night, for coming traffic.

I finally replaced the original Bridgestones with new Continentals Extreeme Contact DW s. They look awesome, very quite on the road and lots of grip. I highly recomend these tires.

Almost 1 year into ownership and I am continually amazed how awesome this car is.
I booked a track day for us next Saturday. Crossing my fingers (but not holding my breath) that my BHR midpipe will be here before then so I can install it while I have the car in the air to swap wheels.
Without catalyst, I presume? Because the catalyst Charles uses is not rated for racing and you shouldn't need to use a catalyst on the track anyways.
Edit: Just saw your earlier post with the picture of the midpipe, which doesn't have a cat. Enjoy the sweet sound!

Raising the final drive ratio to the factory S2 level (4.777) results in shorter gears and some claim the resultant changes in gearing help with various aspects of driving.
Replaced my 7 year old set of Prosport Gauges with the new Evo line. Installation was a breeze since I was just replacing the gauges and the senders.
Decided to ditch the oil pressure guage for a volt gauage because (1) the electric oil pressure is gargage, I replaced it three times, and (2) I suffered two dead batteries, although alternator is fine, since I owned the car so want to keep an eye on the voltage.
The other two are oil temp and water temp. Oil temp sensor isn't hooked up yet, waiting until next oil change to swap out the senders as the old doesn't work with the new guages (reads way too high).
