Where did you get the arm rest? That looks great, I'm itching to pick up the oem center arm rest and I may do this one as well.

I have bought it from a guy who sells used car parts online. I think it was taken from a crashed car. Paid about 40$. Here is one more:

Didn't do it today but at the beginning of last week. Finally put some new shoes on and ooh what a difference. Conti Extreme Contact DWS XL, stock size. Smoother, quieter, better directional stability over varying pavement shapes and types at highway speeds, loads more grip while cornering and phenomenal wet performance. I already have over 1k miles in all sorts of weather from well below freezing pavement with patches of snow to 80 degrees to torrential downpouring rain and the car is supremely confidence inspiring through all of it. Money well spent...

finally glued the brake boot cover to finish up my JPM Coachworks interior. Love the look. Only disappointment is in the knee pad. It was advertised and reviewed to be plusher than the stock OEM padded knee pad. Visually it is thicker, but the material inside is soft so when your knee makes contact, it sinks right in and you can feel the hard backing underneath. THe stock OEM padded knee pad gives a firmer resistance without being hard so it feels better IMO.

Started a sub install, no idea what the hell I'm doing. Never added audio anything to a car before.

Interior LEDs and dashcam install. Having the power outlet in the glovebox made life so easy.

Took it to the track. Texas World Speedway with Chin Motorsports. This was my third time at this particular track, and I got solo qualified.



I tried driving with TC off for the first time at this track. It went well, until it didn't. FF to 2:10 if it doesn't do it automatically.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f3XJhBrw4A&t=2m10s"]TWS 4/9/16 spin at turn 4 - YouTube[/ame]



But after that, things went well. Again, until they didn't. FF to 1:15.

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLKVysz6b4Y&t=1m15s"]TWS 4/10/16 off at turn 7 - YouTube[/ame]






No more STi lip It cleaned up okay, though.



I was using brand new Cobalt Friction XR2 pads. They were amazing. Sadly, the OEM red calipers on the series.blue couldn't keep up:




But the pads left my rotors shiny and blue!




Tires held up okay, but got greasy after overheating. MPSS.

Not sure yet. I'm actually enjoying the increased ground clearance for the moment. Will probably replace eventually--just a question of whether I spring for the real deal.
