Got a new headunit, Alpine IDA-x303 to be exact. I chose this headunit beause of the ipod friendly interface, since I only listen to my ipod or a thumbdrive, this was the perfect match. No cd player since noone uses cd's anymore. Overall it's a nice looking piece and fits well.

I also got the COP kit installed a few weeks ago. Whoever needs a tune-up I highly recommend picking this up. Freshens up the engine bay and brings back some of that lost power. I still need to clean up the wiring and make it more factory looking.

GOOD WORK! That looks like a really nice head unit. Can you change the face colors to match OEM? That was one of the big reasons I chose the Kenwood I got.

It is really cool to see such a young guy doing it and doing it right. You should be proud and what you are learning will serve you very well in the years to come.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I was actually confused when I bought this one. It was showing one with red backlighting so I pulled the trigger, only to find out that the ida-x305 has red, the x303 only came with blue. Isn't too noticeable actually. It shines more white then blue.

Meh, as long as it does what you want, doesn't really matter. It's not like you're swapping a motor or something silly...

My Blaupunkt has red backlights! :p And a CD, too. I do use it...but it's loaded with MP3s.

Seriously though, sweet car. Thanks for posting your mods and the reviews. I'd have loved this car when I was your age, but it cost $20k then (brand new) and I was making like $4.25/hr...I think I netted about $60/week after taxes...

LTS is right that your habits will serve you well, whatever the gear or year. Keep up the good work (and telling us about it).

made the trip down to delaware for some Sport seats. Snagged em up, pulled the old ones, vacuumed the car and put the new ones in. The weird thing is, the passenger seat has the release lever on the opposite side. what gives?
Here they all, in all their glory.

Nice!

The handle also serves as the "rest" for the seat belt is very obviously on backwards or the wrong side.

This is a little difficult to do with the sport seats and is almost like they used a driver's top half and mated it to a passenger's bottom half. The best thing to do is pull the back of the seat and you may be able to just swap them around without a huge amount of fuss. there is a "lever" on the other side too, isn't there?

I got my euro plate filler installed and yellow lamin-x on the front, went with the lamin-x because I was skeptical how french high beams would look so I wanted a cheap reversible way to see if I like it, end result is that I will definitely be frenching the highs, Also decided that I'm going 24v pretty soon, while all the lunatics will be out shopping on friday, this lunatic will be at the PnP looking for an m50:D
