This is crap...how do u get your car before me and you're 5 hours South of me?

[pikkashoe]

Here u go, as promised.











Time to install the goodies and hardwire the radar detector.

Enjoy

[pikkashoe]

Deryck call your dealer, my dealer was not even going to call me until monday if I would of not called.

[derryck]

You were right...my car is there, they said it won't be ready until tomorrow.

[pikkashoe]

My ca tried to pull the same crap, it will be ready tommorow, i told him i am picking up the car today no matter what, he had it ready in 30 minutes.

but anyways, tommorow is also good, bring a camera deryck.

i already changed the shift knob and the angel eyes, only thing left now is my yellow fog bulbs. doing that as we speak.

im going to have an awesome weekend!

[pikkashoe]

zen where are your pics!!

Im all done, yellow fogs, angel eyez and short throw in the car.

Only thing left is the procede next week, and the car is very strong already as it is, i cant wait.

No pics yet - I had to go back into work! And now it's sort of dark out!

some observations:
It had 1.6 mi on the odometer when it arrived at the dealer, they put on about 4.4 mi. for 6 mi total. Not sure what PROGMAN version it has installed, but the navigation DVD is 2007.2.

I like how the NAV detoured me around traffic coming home from work! This thing is showing me new time-saving routes through the city that I never really thought about taking.

For anyone curious about temps, today while driving around outside temp was about 75 F and engine temp held fast around 245 F after 10 miles or so of 90 MPH highway driving.

I was laughing because I couldn't instantly figure out how do something as simple as tuning the damn radio (using i-drive)! WTF!

I'm burning a few 9 GB MP3 DVDs now.

[pikkashoe]

Nice zenmaster. I dont have Navi, but here are a couple observations from my experience.

I love the red ambient light at night, its classy.
The car does have a tiny bit of turbo lag, but not bad at all, but it moves once the turbo's spool up.

The logic 7 is great, still messing with the settings, but its amazing.

Cant figure out the climate control, or how to get the fog lights to stay on always, going to read the owners manual now.

Other than that, its an amazing car. Enjoy guys.

I will try to get some new pic up tommorrow. All I can say is what an awesome ride.

I don't know if it has changed but on my M3 the parking lights have to be on to have the fogs on.

[pikkashoe]

Yeah the parking lots have to be on for the fogs, if its just the angel eyes on, the fogs wont turn on.

Other thing that upset me is that when you arm the alarm, it doesnt make any noise. In the manual it says you can change it to a sound, but mine only gives me the option for the lights to flash. Anybody know why, im guessing you either have to have the premium package or the factory alarm installed.

On one of those DVDs I included some high-quality THX sound effects to test the car's staging and imaging. I like what they did. Very strong feel coming throughout the car. I'm happy with the power.

ha! That's too funny. I can't get my lights to turn off during the day!!

One thing I don't like is that big red cap on the bottom of the rearview mirror. Looks sort of dumm!

Going to take some pics now.

[pikkashoe]

Lets see those pics.

Yeah i dont like the inverted ambulance light either. Still cant figure out the noise thing when setting the door locks. OH well.

[zenmaster]

Here's some pics!

[magicstuff]

[magicstuff]

[pikkashoe]

Zen, you surprised me, i thought you had a coupe coming, but nevertheless, its awesome. Congrats.

Im still getting used to my clutch, its so different from my S2000.
