      Mine are an led white, about 5k I'd say. All my dome lights are led and match them.
      Edit: If you wanted halogen colored ones I'd just go the the dealer or junkyard and get some off an e90 or the like...

        So, at the last autoX the tech inspector didn't like my battery mounting solution, which was nothing thanks to a PO.:dontknow:So he made Kyle and I come up with the solution of about 5 zip ties to fix it. I forgot to take a pic of it but let me assure you, it was rather ghetto looking.: I've since upgraded to a new OEM assembly for the battery tie down screw and also replaced the broken battery tray. I'm not sure what broke it, but it was either battery acid or the battery bouncing loosely in there for a while...

        As a side note, is that hose from the sunroof?? It was loose like that and I replaced it into the little holder.

        The hole under the tray was a little gross and wet from that drain(?) hose BUT rust free!

        AUTOX!!!


        PCA was the host again so more Porsche porn!:wink:

        E92M in the background...

        IN GRID
        I was in the second run group and we all got one run in and it starting POURING for about 5 minutes then the sun came out!: It was really good that I got to drive in the wet because in WA it is continuously raining. (Or so it seems!) I had an instructor ride with me on my first run in the wet and he said that I was doing really well controlling the car and keeping from spinning. I need to learn how to brake later and steer earlier/ set up for the corner sooner.







        My instructor was like "come take a ride with me in my car so I can show you late apexing." I follow him over to this row of Porsches and he gets in the yellow 996 GT3! It was so fast it wasn't even funny! It wasn't fair how he could lay down the power in the rain when the 30 just goes sideways!1: That burgundy 993 has what he called a "supercup" motor and it had a beautiful lope when idling.

          My dad bought the bike... So not only can I NOT ride it but I have to look at it sitting next to my car all the time!

          Recent update...
          I picked up a ski pass back seat, its in nicer shape than the old one as a bonus, but I really got it for the sub!
          The reason the headrests are darker is that they spent last week getting leatherique'd in the house...
          All clean waiting for another rainstorm...

              Thanks! Yeah, its fast!

              So another update, sort of... I might get an m50b25NV (perfect for booooost!) this weekend and then go hunting for a zf320 and matching DS for it... Wanted to see what the gearing of the 320 looked like with a 2.93 rear compared to my current g240 with 4.10 rear. Cruise rpms and such things... Made this and found that its really close to my mom's e90 335 minus teh 6th gear! Should be sick with turbo later on!

                  Looks really decent. I like your attention to detail; I'm not a car audio guy by a stretch, but I can surely appreciate a quality system install. Going on the right track for sure.

                            AutoX will blow the driver's test out of the water funwise! Most fun you can have in a car with your clothes on or so I've heard
