Has anyone made use of the storage area under the cargo floor ?

The R is shallower and as I don't have my car right now, I was wondering if anyone with an R has modified the foam to fit gear - how deep is it etc ?

I want to cut out bits of the foam to store detailing products etc.

Yep - I have two Alpine amps in there.........

I made use of the area somewhat...

wicked... very neat setup

but there are no stud holes in that safety wheel and it looks to be wayyyyyy too small in diameter .....


Nice install though.

I've been using the Vikan equiv to the Daytona brush, and I also have that Vikan brush and I use that as you describe. Additionally I have the Vikan long handle wheel brush which I use for the wheel arches.

Having said that, I still find using an old wash mit to go over the wheel after the brushes ends up with a better finish... especially in between those damn spokes!

Corey, good tip on the mit.. part of the process now very happy with the finish

I like the wax but looking for a product to really make them shine.. for the moment just use QD over the Wax

First service yesterday.

Seemed to go ok.

Bill Buckle seemed to offer pretty good service.

Buy one anyway... Forza ****s on GT5 for more realistic simulation

Nah I'd rather save the $$$ to leverage the extra cost of my next APR product! Thinking of buying the unbreakable APR DP!

I have both games but prefer GT5 simply because my racing wheel (G25) doesn't work on the XBOX. But there are plenty of those "discussions" elsewhere
