sucked it up and went out in the cold to install ss brake lines and flushed it with ate blue stuff. now frozen ...
 
Purchased Defjamz FX50 wheels, what a great guy. Really wish I had the opportunity to meet more iSr's, you guys are good people.
 
Yeah right? Now looking for the right finish/color and if a slightly used set of Dunlop's show up I am in......

Lance your car absolutely rocks with the GTRs, are you going to run the 21s instead or use the 21s for winter duty.
 
Finally installed the sub box I bought 5 months ago. I didn't like the carpet it had on there so I wrapped it in charcoal suede to match my interior. Nothing is hooked up yet, still need to get 5 channel amp, should be all done by Thanksgiving. Also need to build trim panels. The stock floor fits over this and my cargo mat goes on that so I haven't given up any utility, just the spare which I've never used.

Then got around to installing all the interior LED bulbs that I just got. Much better than stock.

This pic shows the dome lights which I tinted w/ film to match the headliner. The flash makes them look black, but it's much closer to a dark grey. Basically the interior looks like a coffin now, almost everything is blacked out or suede now.

Still pretty bright when on.

Don't have pics, but I also threw more dynamat in a few spots; took it for a test drive and it's eerily quiet. The sub box made a huge difference since I basically added another layer of fiberglass and wood the sound has to pass through. I can't hear the car at idle anymore and can barely hear it during acceleration. Then I installed the PAC AOEM NIS-2 to hook up the amp. Still not sure if it'll work on my '07, but all the pins were in the right place and my radio still works fine along w/ iPod connection so I'm hopeful. Next week I will hopefully get to the shop so I can have the custom Invidia exhaust w/ Magnaflow resonated X-pipe welded up and installed. In the meantime, back to the long running quad projector saga.

Hmmm, I wonder how it would sound when the stock floor goes over the subs.

Hey where do you get the LED bulbs for the interior?
 
I'm not too worried about it, its similar to jumbo's setup and he reported plenty of bass. The stock Bose sub is under the floor as well and I think renhalt has a small sub under the floor. I built some 1" spacers so there is enough clearance.

Haven't gotten gas for the FX since before the storm. Might have to go hunting for an open station today.

T'talk
 
eBay. Just type in festoon led bulb, I believe it's a 3022. I just picked the ones with the highest number of led's that would still fit. The ones I got have 16 individual LED's so it's pretty bright. Honestly I'm still not used to how bright the map lights are. The lower door lights have a smaller OEM bulb, but the dome/map light ones fit, it's just a little bit tighter.
