I think he mentioned it yesterday --he's gotta swap all of the power stuff into his door panels before he can put the P5 door panels on, and it wouldn't make sense to do the dash until the door panels can go in.
understandably he installed all of the parts that 'perform' differently.. the seats and steering wheel

Thanks man! Those are actually the Streetunit rings from the first batch (I was one of the first to get them actually) and they have held up well for 2+ years.

Yeah he has ALL the parts from a P5 interior (plus the MP3 bits and pieces)..

Yes that is correct. I swapped some small parts (door sills, weather stripping, lower trim on the H-pillars, center console) when I stripped out the P5. I could put some more of the black trim on but I'd rather wait until the dash and door panels go in. And the power stuff needs to be wired before the carpet, dash and door panels can go in.
Yeah its going to be a lot of work, but the end result will be gorgeous. It will be a winter project, hopefully I can get a beater car and park my car in the garage for a while.

I've been monitoring a squeak in my car that corresponds to suspension movement. Just as I was dreading tracking down a worn bushing, I realized it's actually coming from the driver's seat--weird. Weirder still is that it only squeaks when I'm driving around. If I shut the car off and dance around in the seat, it's silent.
This is going to take some further investigation...

I just installed the valve cover two days ago and it already looks filthy. Damn the huge opening on top of my hood 
Oh yea .. I have a question. How do I go about shaving off the lettering? Just use sandpaper or should I dremmel it off? No idea how to go about doing that..

Are you trying to mess with my head? I'm seriously not sure if you're just pulling my leg or being serious here?! I guess I'll give ya the benefit of the doubt and assume you're being serious.
The Twin Charger is an intake made by Simota .. sold by Gary (Kargoboy) that has one fat pipe and one skinny pipe. The fat one takes in the air though the filter and compresses it into the skinny one that attaches to the throttle body. So it's like a regular CAI .. just with different diameter pipes and I just happen to call the fat one the twin charger pipe cuz it's the bigger one.
So it normally looks like pic #1 but it now looks like #2 cuz winter is coming up.
