Default Today is pickup day!

Very exciting. I'm delivering a Hammond organ and Leslie speaker just in time to make room in the garage.

The expel guy can't take the car till 1/5 so I'm going to drop by my detailer and get a quick wash (I told the dealer not to wash the car as per his instructions).

On Monday I'll be dropping it off at my A/V guy for Escort 9500ci, window tint, NAV-TV backup cam and Viper car locater. He also said he may be able to do Viper remote start.

I'll post plenty of pics here later today.

It's a feast for the senses!!!!

Nothing more exciting than pickup day. Well, perhaps ”first time in triple digits MPH” day. :-) Congrats on the new car!

Congrats!

It seems you're getting a lot of mods done that will need PCM work, just be mindful that they're still pushing out a lot of PCM updates. My aftermarket shop that I do a lot of business with talked me out of getting them to do Nav-TV, or anything else that touches the PCM, even though they're a dealer.

Thanks for the heads up Nate.

I'll post pics of the 9500ci install, although I've already used threads on here to plan how it will be done. I think I'll be getting the rear view mirror integration, that looks so cool.

Oh I forgot to mention tomorrow is my birthday. My wife said she's not getting me anything since I already purchase my own b-day gift. I agree.

No problem - my car only goes out once or twice a week (I do about 4,000 miles/year total) so for me it didn't make sense to have to deal with taking the car back to get Nav-TV adjusted when a PCM update happens etc. If I was driving everyday, I would have probably done it.

And happy birthday for today and tomorrow

Jeff,
A most Happy and Healthy B-day to you sir ; it's going to be a very Challenging B-day Top

My car left the Factory campus heading for port Emden on my B-day and that's one I will never forget; another great date my first track date at Sebring this past Saturday :was 12-13-14 driving a 15
the car will be three weeks old tomorrow and has 2700 miles on the meter
If you read "Fastlaneturbo" post on his new Wing I was the guy he was referring to "in his new 15 GT3" Its really hard not to drive this car @ 10/10's
its such a blast you will be thrilled !!!!!!
I did the 9500ci
we positioned the red/green Led light in the dash between tach and info gauges , the display in ashtray (W/smoking package)
speaker under dash drivers side
front sensors behind mesh top of center front grill
rear sensors behind mesh rear bumper ,totally stealf and system works great
The S/W works is as well a great upgrade
well enough said,
Jeff Happy Birthday Congrats and have Fun !
Cheers
Deacon

Well I got her today. It's been a hectic day and I'm on my phone driving to Vermont so more later and I'll post pics. The car is just what I thought it would be. Much more raw and more of a race car feel. I'm very happy. Now on to modding.

Jeff
