Alden - how did you mount the ScanGauge? I have one and have a little 'L' mount for it...it's not clear how it goes on the dash.
Dan...I meant to ask you the other day. How did you change the tailights on the new STI? I saw a post you had them painted...they look fantastic!! We need this same for the OEM lights on the MINI's (the R53 has an interior chrome bezel).

A little known secret. I call it velcro
I don't have any pics of where I put it. It's where the two pieces of the top of the dash meet, placed as far left as it will go.

Is it okay if I just cut-and-paste from my "Mad Modders" thread ??

on the serious side. I didn't get an "L" bracket. I just put it directly on the dash directly behind the the crack where the 2 dash pieces meet. I think it's in a good place. It's out of direct line sight but still viewable with a quick glance to the left towards the A-pillar.

No laughing at you here. Not yet anyway. Just kidding.
What CAI's and Cat-backs are you putting on?

Megan Racing cat-backs... they have a nice British burble without being obnoxiously loud.
And the CAIs are from Way Motor Works/DDM... had a ride in a Cooper with this intake at MOTD and it seemed to add a few horses and it also created a nice, deep, throaty growl. Is it possible to make a Cooper sound mean ? We'll see on Thursday.
Ahhhh...You already had them listed in the mods. Got it. I was wondering what you were planing on doing.

I beg your pardon, Sir ?!!? That exhaust was made in downtown London by purebred English maidens who were sipping tea and eating crumpets in between each and every new exhaust system they made.
Taiwain....
Hey, those Taiwainese must at least speak with a British accent.
Ah yes, pre-existing condition. That can get messy. Might even require an IME (independent medical examination). Hope you get some movement on that claim soon but I'll warn you... could end up taking several more months.

I know. I already filed with my own carrier so that's good. It's the deductible I'd like to see back. If they don't reuimburse, I'll file for it in small claims.
Brian makes it look easy.....he's got access to a lift. The rest of us have to get intimate with the floor and slide on under the car to get things done.
So hey, I'm stepping into the world of performance mods now !
