Added XM Radio to my Kenwood head unit and it's awesome! Then my wife took a two day road trip and I visited the Flight 93 Memorial plus the Quecreek Mining Rescue Memorial. Both places were well worth the time.

haha i did the same thing last month..that shitty power steering cooler started leaking coolant into my reservoir..did you mount your new one behind the air dam? I put mine behind it, just curious if it gets enough air flow.

Yep, right behind the air dam. I took it for an aggressive ride on the dragon shortly after and no pump whine or anything. Prior to the cooler install, on the dragon, the pump whined through every turn and the fluid overheated to the point it expanded and overflowed out the reservoir cap. Very pleased so far

Had the same thing happen last week, but the little friend was up into the sidewall and had to replace the tire.

My son got some new Lloyd’s Floormats and fog lights for his car. He cleaned the car up and went for a drive to the mountains.

I finally got everything done and got it on the dyno. All mods are in sig. Before D1X installed it made 440hp, 399tq. With 9# boost I gain 185 hp and 100tq. Total was 625hp, 499tq. Has a very safe tune with a Snow Performance Stage 2 Water and Methanol injection. Waiting for the track to open and get some new 1/4 times.

Spur of the moment, decided to paint my mirrors and halo black. I love the way it turned out. Such a small change made a huge difference.
