Finally installed my torquebyte controller, a prerequisite for MPI/E85 on an upgraded turbo. Now I just need to install the MPI manifold and I’ll be ready for Cobb’s release [emoji1362]

Now all the road debris and water will go right on the brakes.

Jk. Good job.

Installed some PIAA extreme white headlight bulbs as well as yellow lamin-x on the fogs. Still not sure if I like the fogs.

I took the airbag light out of the dash, pulled the electronics out of it, and put some cheap window tint over the back side of it. It's better, without looking like I put a sticker on top of it.

50/50:

I might write a quick DIY guide on it, but it was really easy. All you need is some spare window tint, scissors, tweezers, and a couple q-tips to mash it down once you've got it in place.

I also dug out a lightly used Momo Anatomic shift knob from about five cars ago, and put it on. Shortened the throw nicely, and it blends in fairly well. The boot is being held up by a piece of picture hanging wire. To space it out some and stop it bunching up, I also put in a rubber spacer. The spacer, of all things, used to be a front torsion rod bushing from a 1989 Taurus SHO I had a couple of years ago. :lol: Still have some work to do to get those last wrinkles out at the 12:00 position, but it's easy enough to move around now.

Nice. I used some electrical tape, no light passes through at all.
