Default USB charging port on drivers side kick panel

I added a USB charging port on the kick panel to power my phone which is mounted on the A-pillar.

I used a blank slot in the fuse box for power. The port has an LED readout that shows voltage. It was pretty simple and now I have power for my phone on long drives.

You have a USB port in the Center console

I'll have pics of the car on the tow truck later this morning.

Yes, but I prefer my mobile phone in a driver side A-pillar mount so the center console area is uncluttered. I didn’t want to run a long cable from center to the A-pillar.

That stupid thing wont charge my phone - or even recognize it.
But then one of my friends will get in the car and plug in their brand new iphone and they take over the radio and get their phone charged.

It is very unfair.

Upgraded my oil cooler from 25 row setrab to 34 row setrab, definitely a noticeable improvement in oil temperatures. Barely ever goes over 200 on the oil temps now in 100 degree heat, worth it!

Is this a plug and play replace of the cooler or do you have to change out a lot of other parts?

Not exactly, with the 25 row i was able to route the oil lines through the driver side so it was a little neater with being able to secure the lines to the upper oil pan, but with 34 row i had to reroute the lines to go through the passenger side, not as clean looking but it's functional. Other than that everything from the 25 row was plug and play with the 34 row

Chilly but clear 60 degree day here in Adelaide so I put the roof down and blasted out The Eagles on the way home from work.
Love having a roadster on a day like this!

Almost forgot, ordered the Post-MAF tubes, K&N drop ins and some other silicone hoses from Z1.
