I had my 2002 S Terracleened today and what a difference it's got it's mojo back, and I fixed the no sound oil of my Pcm.

An early morning group drive thru Malibu / Santa Monica mountains...It was a bit foggy but still fun.

The last drive on these rear tires - I have about 0.2mm of tread in center - good in the dry but too risky on damp or dusty roads! I managed to get 13,000 miles on them!

I got my new tires mounted on my new (used) wheels. So I decided to put them on the car and take it for a spin. I like

Not today, since it's 7 a.m. here, but yesterday evening I got some projects done.
- Desnorkeled
- Swapped the illuminated vanity mirrors with broken hinges from the sun visors to new ones without lights
- Removed the Navi unit and replaces it with a tray
- Replaced the ashtray with a storage bin
- Removed the handset.
Now I need a piece of trim for where the handset has been.

And wow, the intake noise after removing the snorkel is awesome!

Any reason you removed your NAV unit? Would you up for selling it?

I might, though it's an 8-bit system with no map updates available since 2001 and I live in Sweden, so shipping might be a bit pricey. I also like to have the option to restore the car to factory specs.

The old PCM 1 navigation is actually quite outdated and I would advise you to look at other options.

Edit: And the reasons for removing it are that I don't use it and I prefer to have a storage bin instead.

Hi. Today I have taken out the seats and prepped for re dye, changed the drivers side spoiler ram and removed the centre console and carpet to help in the long search for water ingress. Busy day.

Finished mounting my tweeters





Plug straight into the factory harness, and sound pretty good. I need to do some tweaking, then I'll decide if I will try something else, or keep them and move on to replacing the door speakers.

(Stock bose mids and tweeters are for sale if anyone is interested)
