Cleaned her up and got some photos this morning at sunrise. Taken by Plimmerton beach near Wellington, New Zealand.

I love this colour...

The brakes are amazing. Track day coming up on 3rd Feb so will be able to test them out then but compared to the stock ones on the GT86 I had they are much more sensitive to a tap, so can only imagine what they'll be like when I get to really stamp on them!

I also have Dot 5 brake fluid.

TRD Winker Bulbs ^_-

I've spotted something Non-TRD on your car!! :P


Unless they are on order already :P

Quite like your work parking bay too.


At least your co-workers/co-tenants cars actually know how to park within the lines and NOT on the marked lines.
.

But for driving the car out to work and parking there. I personally am too paranoid to park my car in communal parking

That's interesting about the HKS OB-Link too. I've ordered one from Martin at performance wholesale. Many of the other cheaper units show the majority of the sensor values EXCEPT the PID's of the oil temperature. I like what you did with the Samsung Tab also, I wanna do something similiar with a 7in tablet.. but I wonder if you are able to interface/communicated with the OB-Link with the stock head unit? That would be much more streamlined/OEM look.

That's true - OEM indicator bulbs. Damn!

Seems that some head units will communicate with android but not directly with the OB-Link so for those head units you'd still need an android phone or tablet in the car. JVC and Pioneer do them.

There's talk of android head units and certainly those that have installed 7" tablets in their dash obviously have it working.

None of this helps with the OEM head unit though.

Ahh yeah, that's a bummer.
I've been doing some research the past few hours. I'll most probably get this android head unit. Looks very promising.

nzer, I noticed your parking space is #46. You're going to have to fix that.

Good point - not sure the landlord would understand my obsession enough to accept me painting over it!
