I installed some cheap external tpms senders and plugged the dongle into the cig lighter. Seen to work fine, but I'm not big on the clunky look. Next time I change tires I'll add a better internal set.
finally screwed on my new NS plate.
threw the racks back on and took the dog MTN biking. Tomorrow, I'll install a fire extinguisher, replace old 3rd brake light, and wash her, in prep for a Sunday PCA drive from Bridgewater to Liverpool. Can't be scruffy, first impressions and all that...

Post Ride. She's slobbering all over my coco mats!

New plates
😁

The sleek, wildly expensive cup holder looks like a real scan / 3D printing opportunity for someone.

He offers a much cheaper 3d printed version. What I like about the set up is it uses X1 cupholders. Mine is waiting at home, I'll get it installed tomorrow and post a pic.

I found this airplane:



And all of these other cars:



We did a ~220 mile canyon drive in the Texas hill country and I had a blast!! I finished the day with an even greater appreciation of my car and had a great time with other PCA folks. Now I'm gonna start getting ready for HPDE in 2 weeks.

I am considering this too. Where are you measuring temps?

I have a UIDS and the engine oil sensor is in the side of the UIDS. The trans sensor will be in the drain plug. It is being fabricated now, 10 x 1 thread sensor in a custom drain plug, std drain thread with external hex drilled and tapped for 10 x 1 sensor

My friends, it brings me no pleasure to tell you this, but you should give Tom the $190 or whatever for this cupholder.



I'll replace my casette cupholder that's above the radio at some point. Ebay units clock in around $350. Mainly, having my coffee 1) lower and 2) more stable is worth a lot to me.

I agree that this is probably the coolest cupholder I've seen but I don't use one enough to warrant the $12,000 price tag. I'll stick with the $25 one I already have even if the cool kids make fun of me.

I emailed that guy but he's paused production - that is a good cupholder.

I'll just have to stick with my monocle-tier etsy job
