What system did you go for?
I was going to do the Pioneer AVIC-Z130BT and use it with the factory Bose speakers and subwoofer but changed my mind eventually.

Are you doing this at the dealer? If yes,are they ok with installing the stainless brake lines? Also did you get them and have the dealer do the install or they got the parts for you too?
Thanks.

Drove it in Nürburgring Nordschleife Germany. 20km track called "the green hell". This is where Niki Lauda got burned in his car in F1 championships in 1976.

Rainy, very slippery today. Tomorrow morning it will be dry and I will have a blast!

Had the gear oil changed - old stuff was black - gallon of Mobil Delvac synthetic 75W-90.

Oh, and yesterday a UMW Motorsports Clutch and single mass flywheel was installed - wish I could drive to the North Loop.

I picked it up this afternoon and after getting over the shock of the bill ( they did what i asked and it was all within expected price ranges) I have to admit that the 60k mile service made the car feel brand new again. I can't believe the difference new plugs and coil packs made. At idle it is smooth and purrs like a kitten. Under load it is smooth and roars like a tiger. Amazing.

The brakes are great, but the biggest improvement is how smoothly it shifts after the bleed.

If you have a few miles on your car, and it feels a little rough around the edges, replace the plugs and coilacks, and bleed the brake/clutch system. Wala! New car.

Had my rear fenders rolled to accommodate my new CCW 12" wheels and NT01 tires. Beefy!

Took my son to baseball practice in it. He's 7yo and has no clue how lucky he is to get driven around in a tuned PTurbo.

That's what I love about this car. It fits my life.
