1) Removed the cabin noise generator system.

3) Sound deadened the doors and installed a Hertz speaker system with an old school Rockford Fosgate Punch amp. Listened to some Willie Dixon and the stand up bass was shaking the mirror with no subwoofer in the car. Amazing sound.
4) Installed the factory GT86 center console armrest/cover. Love it. If you install one though, make a hard template for the holes.

I'd love a link to where I can find the blue convex mirrors. Definitely noticing my blind spots more now.

The engineering response to the blind spots on the car appears to be "Well, speed up? lol."

Which is awesome

EDIT: Also, took my raven to get washed + waxed today. I have 810 miles on her now. Looks like she did when I brought her home.

When I first got my car I saw people raving about the Broadway 300mm convex mirrors so I ordered one on Amazon. They shipped me the flat one instead, so I ended up getting both the flat version and the convex one for the cost of one.

Honestly, the convex one does absolutely nothing for visibility and actually decreases it thanks to how skewed the view out your back window gets. So essentially you can barely see what's out of your back window anymore, and the negligible additional viewing angle gives you a view of your C pillars, nothing more.

I have the flat 300mm one installed because I like the tint and it does give a nice view compared to the OEM mirror and the tint is great (even at night most times unless idiots leave their high beams on, in which case you get blinded and have to take it off).

Maybe a wider mirror would give you the viewing angle you're looking for, but honestly if you set your factory mirrors up properly you have more than enough visibility. There aren't really any blindspots with this car as far as regular driving goes.

I would recommend this one though, which is what I use. Only gives you a view out the back window, but makes things much easier to see and the tint is really handy.

I will take a picture of the view that the convex mirror gives later to show you how pointless it is.

Thats the in car... I thin k he's talking about the side mirrors

With cruddy winter weather moving in and no winter beater to drive I got a set of winter tyres and rims this weekend and put them on myself this morning.

With some major help from a friend made a bracket for the fire extinguisher. Going to paint it all black when it stops raining and I find time.

mush · 10-27-2013, 08:44 PM

Fire extinguisher for that visconti tune?

kALMIGHTY · 10-27-2013, 08:51 PM

Drove in this with the stock Primacy tires. Was a lot of fun!
