It's nice working north side Austin and living in Round Rock. Dodge all the traffic.

Happy New Year guys! Be safe if you're going to be driving.

Your negative survey accomplished exactly what I'd have expected had you gone immediately to the store manager and then, if need be, to the district/regional manager.

I'd definitely jump on this while it's still fresh in his mind and make sure that you're completely satisfied with the solution.
I guarantee that the regional manager doesn't want your complaint to travel farther up the corporate food chain!

Took some shots today over near mt bonnell.. mt bonnell road is a pretty fun, short drive (nothing compares to lime creek road...)

I got the 2014 Bespoke (although I wanted the entune but whatever) and it has 0 traffic information on it. Just get used to using google maps for accurate traffic information.

Matt, I used to work at Charles Schwab up until a year ago. What department are you in? I was in the 401k audit support department.

Edit: The radio and Navigation otherwise is fine, my XM unit doesn't work with it so I am still waffling about reinstalling the old head unit. I'm really impressed with the navigation itself the only problem I have is that the music bluetooth can be a little wonky on my droid.

Lime Creek is a great road indeed! Just stop going so fast and scaring me while I am on my Bicycle .

Love Mt Bonnell road. I drive it and 2222 daily to/from work

Saw a WR Blue BRZ on Hamilton Pool this morning, wondering if that was anybody here? Happy New Years!

NSD. I've been there for about a year and a half now. (10 of those months as a contractor)


I'm off to DIYTexas for New Years to install my Q300, Perrin Rear Shifter Bushing, and Whiteline Positive Shift Kit! Nameless 3" system comes off. Too loud for DD.

let me know how much time it takes you to do the bushing and positive shift kit. I've considered doing them, but honestly, DIYTexas gets way too expensive.

An excuse to buy another twin for dedicated track use!

Took about 3 hours to do both using jack stands, I tend to work a little slower to make sure it's all right as well. Not too bad, just watch your hands around that exhaust hanger bracket!

Once my car was on a lift, probably about 30 minutes for each one. Cake with a transmission support. Shifts are nice and smooth now. Also, the DIY's on here are glorious. @F1point4 has nice clear and precise pictures to get these done and torque specs.

I was timed at 12:40 pm and finished at 6:45 pm. $120 for about $400 to $500 of labor. That's not bad at all, and working on your own car is always a plus.

Car sounds incredible now with the Q300 and JDL UEL. Nice and quiet till you get on it. I'll take a video of it from the rear when I'm not extremely tired.
