Scavenger

DAD'S EAT FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :top::top:

That's what I want - some pads that produce much less dust!

Edge, you shoulda slept in it... :laugh:

Check salvage yards!

Years ago, we started planning a run in the clifton area but it got scrapped, the development and resulting traffic was outpacing us!

Tempting! yes

As I was skimming forum titles, I read something about a "Hunt to benefit Wildlife".... seemed like quite an oxymoron, then clicked it and realized what it actually was... :laugh:

I'm getting excited! Unfortunately, my wife and daughter won't be coming along. Like Craig said, and I assume many others, radios are charging, tunes are loaded, and early alarm clock set! :top:

I know there are already several threads for tinting, but I want to know, who is the most up to date "best source" for getting Window Tint:questionmark:

Ali showed me the link to the device. pricey! Would be fun to have though.

Possibly... I won't promise any schedules yet...

You should! We know them very well. It's a small place so you might want to make a reservation and all that. AND, if you wanted to, maybe do a photo op thing over at the GMU campus beforehand. "Campus Photos and Thai & Yogurt Event" something like that!! :rock:

That is absolutely insane!! I wish I could go just to see that!! Oh well, maybe next year

Pretty sure I saw Merlin tonight at the movie theater across from GMU. We were eating at the Thai place. I messaged Craig about it - hope it was him

Sweet! So she can see my tune? Hey Ali!! :wavey: Wanna stop by this weekend? :top:

So, where are we with ECU stuff these days? I know Haemish & Craig have some tools for various flashing and computer mod stuff, I'm just wondering does anyone now have a tool for checking out the ECU tune in the R53? I'm just curious to take a look if possible.

Wow, very nice write-up, man. This is IMO one of the best OEM upgrades! I think your "End Result - Front Wheel" picture is worthy to be a desktop wallpaper! I think the new front caliper actually compliments the GP wheel very nicely and looks BAD ASS!!! I'm glad to see that there are several OEM 17" wheels that will fit over these as well, since many folks are concerned about ride comfort loss with moving to 18" or larger. The rear caliper and rotor are super tough compared to the measly stock rears. You've gained an effective increase in front of 21mm over stock!!!! Great job :congrats::top:

You guys are making me miss my old DINAN exhaust... :embarassed:

I too am thinking of joining the low dust club, Mach V sells basically 3 pads that I would consider, so, I need some opinions: 1. HAWK HPS 2. HAWK HP+ 3. HAWK Ceramic I'd prefer to have functional sensors, and I'm also leaning towards the Ceramic - so that begs the question, do the ceramics support a functional sensor? If not, what's the next choice?

It's starting to seem like Craig's garage might be a good place these days :laugh::laugh::laugh:

hmmm, I'm tempted!

Looking good, hey, btw - how does the Dual brand car stereo work, does it perform/sound good?

I had mine there for a while, but eventually, the mount actually melted and warped, so, I've got to get a new one. Maybe I'll consider the license plate frame model.

After-market car stereo - (First-Gens) - Upgrade and Mod rolled into one really. This isn't for everyone, but I had the base stereo with only aux input, no Bluetooth. Though with ,albeit limited, mp3 support. If you have the H/K or DPSM, chances are better that you're satisfied with your sound and you already have the Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module has become a must-have with the hands-free laws in our area. For those like me that had the base system, after-market is your best option. The head-unit (HU) I chose has: 1. color-matched display (NO WAY did I want blue or green in there) 2. Bluetooth support for hands free calling and music streaming 3. iPod connection/control 4. Aux input 5. mp3 CD support of course (and other digital formats) 6. USB connection (thumbdrives don't skip) 7. steering wheel button integration 8. Sirius/XM add-on support 9. HD Radio add-on support 10. 4-channel line-level outputs for later amp addition As for sound quality, many folks have debated back and forth on which component swap is more beneficial, some have done only speakers, some have added amps and speakers, some have done the whole kit. In my opinion, the head unit swap is best. Not that it is your last move, but it sets a better stage for the addition of amps and/or speakers at a later date. ...and until I add amps or swap speakers, the HU has a programmable Digital Signal Processor (DSP) that can be adjusted to get the most from the stock speakers - and I really was impressed with the improvement!

:laugh: Yep...
