Yep, exactly what I used to use the GTI for until my wife adopted it. Now she won't let me haul anything in it

Might have a potential buyer for my Z.

Sat in a 2012 Mazda 3 today and actually liked it. Guess now I need to try a more recent model.

Finished install of new Pioneer 4100NEX with Moonet backup camera. Took my time soldering all the connections & drilling a couple holes for usb/hdmi/aux. Flush mount ports from amazon worked out nicely:
Amazon.com : Rerii 3ft 1 Meter USB & HDMI AUX Extension Dash Panel Flush Mount Cable For Car
Amazon.com : Rerii 1 Meter 3ft 3.5mm & USB AUX Extension Dash Flush Panel Mount Cable For Car
For kicks successfully tested out chromecast, will probably never use, but the option is there.
Since I was removing panels, figured I'd remove the hatch weight as well..no more opening issues

Yeah, I had an older pioneer so didn't have to reprogram, just wish I had the bluetooth buttons.

installed the SmartTop module last night, quite straight forward, the tricky part was leading the long signal wire from the top compartment to the passenger foot-well at the front... but still, not too bad.

now the top works like a charm with the remote, and when I am backing out from the garage, no need to wait anymore!!

Finally got to get pictures of the new stickers... plus put on the clearcoat to the dings yesterday after the wash

Got a correctable Modified Exhaust violation 27151(a)VC

I guess I gotta put my stock exhaust back on and give my local LAPD a visit. Anyone care to share their experience/advise on how they handled the correctable violation? This is my first time getting the fix it ticket.

Im running a F.I. non-res

FairladyZ10PG · 06-08-2015, 03:42 PM

^that sucks! were you doing anything illegal at the time or were you just stopped for being loud?

Nothing illegal. The ticket was solely on (loud) modified exhaust. I didn't even let my rpm pass 3k. I was just making a left turn and next thing I know there is a motorcycle cop behind me with his lights flashing. The cop seemed nice but I can't believe they would pull me over for just that

FairladyZ10PG · 06-08-2015, 04:22 PM

Yup, guess the cop was having a bad day...so unnecessary

Pintsize725 · 06-09-2015, 11:07 AM

I've driven my Z three days since getting the exhaust removed and ECU flashed back to stock. Today it fired up and immediately threw the P2A03 code along with U1000.

Yay.
