I have a Pioneer DEH-80PRS headunit getting installed soon, along with a Defi DIN-Gauge, and the TE37 wheels. After that, I'm going to be taking it easy, saving up, thinking of what to put in next.

Updated interior: DEH-80PRS is installed, and there's an open bay waiting for the DIN-Gauge.

I think it's funny that in the before and after pics w/ the headunit you've got the same track playing.

I got the Team Voodoo shift knob installed. Very nice; it makes the shift feel a bit sharper (I have to get used to it; I found myself slightly chickening out on some shifts), and it looks very classy in black. No pictures yet because it's dark and gray. The stock shift knob looks like it has a plastic connector holding the top disk with the shift pattern diagram; I wonder if there's a market for alternate design top disks.
Exhaust, gauges, and wheels still on their way. |

Greddy exhaust installed:
It sounds very nice. Not objectionably loud, keeping it classy with the sound level. All of my audio impressions are from inside the cabin; I'll have to have someone take a video, or at least stand by as I drive past. The idle tone is very prominent, letting you know what the engine's doing at low RPMs (which is what I was missing; I found myself stalling out once or twice when backing into parking spaces at car shows, because I couldn't hear the engine note). At mid to high RPM, it sounds very complementary to the intake sound being piped into the cabin through the sound conductor. What I was hoping for was a way to "share" the interior cabin engine note with the world, and I think this achieves it nicely. |

Yes, it's the SP Elite. It sounds very nice; classy, not too loud, and very similar to the engine tone heard inside the cabin via the sound conductor. I'm sharing that sound with the world!
