I didn't do it all in one day because I did have to wait to get tax money in between buying the next part also. Including shipping time so like more over a week or so one of which was done a couple days ago. Didn't get to post any information been sick with some yuckiness. Otherwise I installed the anaconda exhaust on my sonic as well as the mpfab intake on it. Had to do some interesting O2 modifications I haven't really seen anyone specifically do either. Similar Ya but not quite. Seen lots of people buying part #42009 drilling out the first one and stuffing the second part over and having great results. This didn't seem to happen at all I threw codes on 3 different setups. Then I decided I'll give it one more attempt before buying a tune. Used part 42002 drilled 1/8 inch down to expose the O2 holes at the end of the sensor. Placed the non modified version over it, few hundred miles of driving around I didn't have any codes come up at all. With the new part the O2 sensor fit in it flush without drilling completely down, however it does plug the end of the sensor up doing so. Went with just exposing them instead of going the full mile of drilling completely through it all like the other modifications I tried. However installation was pretty simple on both of these getting the old exhaust off was more challenging but only with a couple jack stands and will I'd say installing probably 1.5 hours between both parts.

That would be pretty sweet! I'd love to just get mine to sit even seems like all economy cars have a high rear end. Can't go to low with all the snow and my driveway being a curb at the end lol. If I don't back out right I'll bash the front end.

Repainted my headlight rings. They were looking pretty bad from all the highway driving.

Installed DDM works pressure tube kit, DDM works intake, DDM works hard charge tube, DDM works block off plate, Synapse BOV, coil cover, heat shield, and shifter bushings. Now if the wot-tuning website wasn't down due to maintenance, I could do the tune and try it out.

Dashcam arrived today. I had actually bought it before I got teh car, but direct from Hong Kong takes time...
Unrelated buy - foglights arrived from a wrecker on the other side of the province. Now I need a weather window for the install.

Which dashcam did you buy for your car? I was thinking about buying a front facing camera as I commute at least 100 miles per day and I've seen my share of close calls.

Its a cheapy from dx.com. I think I paid about $50 for it (TBH, it was so long ago I had forgotten I bought it) <Found it on DX - link provided>
it shoots 720P and has audio, but being cheap, no name, direct from HongKong, I have low expectations.
It came with a windshield mount and dashcam mode (5 minute files) a standard video mode, and a photo mode.
Other mounts are a gopro-esque clear waterproof case, a rail mount, a strap mount, and a standard tripod mount.
Once I take it for a drive I'll post more, but for now, its just cheap chinese crap, no name or model number. If you buy from DX, they have cool stuff for cheap, but you have to have low expectations and a lot of patience. This camera took about 3 months to reach me.
Editing to add photos.
Typical of DX, the box arrived looking pretty plain-jane. (Banana for scale)
Popped it open to find a jumble of stuff inside.
I can see myself using some of these mounts but honestly a pile of them will collect dust in a junk drawer. If I still had my boat, the rail mount would be awesome, but I sold it last summer, so no need. Spread out the goodies look like this:
To the point that matters though, I put the camera in the windshield mount. Its about a banana big.
And in the car it tucks in nicely next to the mirror. The suction cup is super suction-y right now. See how long that lasts. I am not sure about battery life either. It arrived with a little juice, but mostly drained. So I sortof aimed it, but I'll have to wait to juice up the battery to give it a test drive. The camera pops into and out of the mount easily, but its going to be a pain having to remove it to charge it. I would prefer a set it and forget it setup. I may try another mount to mount it to the back of the rearview mirror.
My biggest gripe is with charging, and its the same issue I have with my GPS - so many wires and only one 12V outlet. I have a 4-way splitter, but still its a pain having wires everywhere.
The other package that arrived was wrecking yard foglights.
Big box!
Ooooh goodies inside!!
All set out and looking good...
Now I need to get a switch and harness and its off to the races!
