Dang it! You just added another mod to my list!

The T3s look real good on your ride, too.

Thanks! I picked up the e-brake handle from a guy parting out an STi. I got it for $20. Now I want to order those leather boots (e-brake, shifter) with the red stitching that one vendor sells.

Your car is really coming together. Now it's time to do some weight shaving, start with that crap in your cup holders!

well put, that is the nicest way to say clean your cup holders tat i have every heard!

sea-scooby · 08-19-2008, 10:04 AM

My little girl likes to put her snacks in the cup holders. I can never keep them clean!

sea-scooby · 09-03-2008, 08:15 PM

I washed and waxed the XT, and I even detailed the interior. No more crumbs in the cupholder!

Good man! Looking good! No inside shot?

The outside of my car is looking pretty but the inside needs some TLC...you have inspired me to whip out the mini dyson!

sea-scooby · 09-04-2008, 07:08 AM

My camera battery died before I could get any more shots. The interior looks real good now and I'll get some shots tonight. I started using baby wipes for the dash/trim/door panels and they work great. Keeps things clean without any shine or oily residue.

For the interior I pulled the center console and cleaned everything, including the leather boots and cupholders and I scrubbed the carpet and rubber floor mats. I even use leather conditioner on the seats, e-brake, steering wheel and leather boots. Hopefully it will stay clean for a while now.

It's funny looking at old pics of your car now. You've really changed the look (for the better)!

sea-scooby · 09-04-2008, 07:32 AM

I was looking at that last night. I can't believe how much it has changed in less than a year. I just ordered my brakes last night and when those are done, my car will be pretty much finished and where I want it.

What brakes did you order?

Riiiiight

sea-scooby · 09-04-2008, 03:51 PM

I went with Racingbrake slotted fronts, their BBK rear kit, Hawk HPS pads, stainless steel brake lines and super blue fluid.

After the brakes, there is not really much left I want to mess with unless something breaks/wears out. I kind of want some more supportive seats, but it would be hard to part with the heated leather power seats.

sea-scooby · 09-04-2008, 07:40 PM

I didn't get a very good interior shot, but I did take one of the Subtle splitter. This show just how much air that thing lets in. It is completely sealed all around too, so the air entering the scoop has no choice but to pass thru the intercooler.

neoshi · 09-04-2008, 09:06 PM

Dang man.. the T3s really look good. Now I'm regretting getting the Speeds in 17s bc they look funny to me now. I think the pic shown were 18s, so it didn't look so stubby. Did you end up getting them too?

sea-scooby · 09-05-2008, 06:25 AM

If the Speeds were made in 5x100 in an 18, I would have gotten them in that size. I did get them a few days ago, but I don't have plans for them yet. I may use them for my winter wheels if I find some 17" snowtires. I haven't decided yet.
