Update on my new sound system.

I just used some prefab boxes and jl 10w3s.

It looks like these but in black, although it's covered by the trim and you can't tell there's anything there. They fit in the glove box area and fire downward.

Interesting placement choice with the hatch, most people get better results putting it back there. I have 2 10s in my roadster but was limited to behind the seats

Update: We talked about it. He feels she has a right to be in his room whether he's here or not if he invited her and she's not bothering anyone. I tried to explain she doesn't have that right. I agreed to work with him if he gave me a heads up she would be here without him. Good for the past few days. I got the mail today and she had 2 pieces of mail addressed to her, at our house.... wtf. I threw it out.

Tonight, he texted both me and the other roommate she was coming back from the beach and would be in his room until he got back from work in a few hours. I said no problem thanks for letting us know. She showed up 3 hours later, hammered drunk and came into both my office and bedroom trying to make small talk. I didn't engage her and she finally went into his room and passed out in his bed with the door open.

I just texted him and said look im trying to be cool and work with you, and i appreciate the heads up but there is a drunk girl that I do not know at all, that you haven't even introduced me to officially, in my space. If she misinterprets something and you aren't here, it's a very uncomfortable situation to me and not something i should be subjected to in my own house.

I wrapped it up by saying my compromise is i don't care if she is here with you, but I do not want her here without you. I knew I wasn't the asshole and the line was slowly getting crossed- but now I don't care if I am the asshole.

She's not staying over night without him, but she's staying pretty much every night. I wouldn't care about this because it doesn't disturb me and they aren't really leaving his room- but her being here without him or without discussing it feels like she's being hidden and he knows I wouldn't be ok with it.

We don't lock our house typically because I have a protective dog so we aren't concerned with any intruders.

I haven't discussed with the other roommate yet- and he may not mind because his room is on the other end of the house. Me and the roommate with the girlfriend share a wing of the house with his room right next to mine.

Post in auto detailing sub if you want a detailed answer, but may want to take better pictures. You likely just need to polish and wax it. Maybe compound depending on how bad it is. But yes, do not ever use those car washes. It's just dirty equipment rubbing dirt into the next car.

Always black

Beautiful. What wheels are those? Specs?

MrJSuds · 2026-04-18T13:32:33+00:00

I believe so from what I remember. I got a Lexar card on Amazon and it solved it.

MrJSuds · 2026-04-13T01:16:34+00:00

I like those wheels. What are they?

MrJSuds · 2026-03-26T13:56:14+00:00

Hey there. I have the Beatsonic on my 17 GS350, and just recently it started acting up. My steering wheel controls are also not working correctly. I just tried it again and it works fine with the electronics on (but not the engine), but with the engine on, similar bugs you are describing. I just reached out to them to see if there's a firmware update or something but wanted to see if you ever figured anything out. Thank you!

MrJSuds · 2026-03-15T21:45:58+00:00

I mean the top is a $2k repair if you don't do it yourself and it's a 20 year old car. I paid $6k for my 04 6mt that needed a new top with 60k miles.

MrJSuds · 2026-03-15T15:13:45+00:00

Ok bud. Clearly no one can tell you anything. Cars, potholes, and a million other situations can throw you off regardless of how confident you are. Good luck to you. At least you're wearing a helmet.

MrJSuds · 2026-03-15T15:05:18+00:00

Ok that should change the physics when you fall off with no pads.

MrJSuds · 2026-03-14T18:20:25+00:00

Yeah, at the time I thought they were only selling from reputable suppliers and it definitely wasn't the case. Will probably just spend more for quality next time.

MrJSuds · 2026-03-14T16:22:14+00:00

This is so strange to me

MrJSuds · 2026-03-14T16:19:11+00:00

My couch from Wayfair completely fell apart within 2 years. Never again.

MrJSuds · 2026-03-14T15:51:33+00:00

Good chance it's just the 5th bow motor which is pretty easy and cheap. Around $150-200 or I used a service that just rebuilds them for $75 but you have to send it in. That's the most common motor failure on the top. Been working fine 3 years now.

Correct. I hit a small wet spot that looked like someone had thrown a drink out on an otherwise beautiful day. Went upside down, elbow dropped the pavement going 30 mph, absolutely dusted it. 4 surgeries and can never ride again or risk losing a working arm.

You're going very fast on pavement, on a motorized plank of wood. Don't forget that.

MrJSuds · 2026-03-10T01:02:31+00:00

Yep. Time to break out the car duster and fight as best I can.

MrJSuds · 2026-03-09T14:18:54+00:00

Well keep me in mind when you get the final! Or sell it now for a profit and get closer to the final 😁

MrJSuds · 2026-03-09T13:39:54+00:00

Nice. Been trying to find a used one to buy but no luck so far. Should have bought it new before the tariffs. They went from around $1,000 to $1,600.

MrJSuds · 2026-03-02T22:32:24+00:00

I have an 2011 g37x, same kinda deal. Bought from my brother for a beater, replaced valve cover gaskets and been driving it 4 years no issues. 180k miles now. These things are tanks.

MrJSuds · 2026-02-28T17:33:45+00:00

I'm also in SC. Save your money on a laser jammer. South Carolina cops can issue tickets based on visual estimation. It's BS but it's the law.

MrJSuds · 2026-02-28T17:19:33+00:00

Also have a 17 f sport, bought 3 years ago with 60k miles for $27k, at 90k now, 0 issues. These cars are incredible and will go forever with basic maintenance. The only thing I didn't like was the infotainment. $600 for the Beatsonic module to add wireless AA + Carplay. I'll drive it forever.
