Brakes
I changed the front and rear brake pads over the weekend. 21.99 for the front pads and 24.99 for the rear pads.
178,000 miles and runs like a champ.
Daily driver to work and back 86.4 miles round trip.
Next on the list to fix is the memory seat switch and probably time for some new plugs.
Claybar, buffer, wax, polish coming up as well.

been doing all sorts of fabbing and messing with "custom" stuff and such.
installing a 3rd button on the dash as a push start button, currently still in progress hopefully it will be finished tmr. and also cut whatever the big piece of plastic is on the bottom of the intake, who knows what that will do, silicon is still drying so haven't had the chance to install it back on, will do tmr though.

Interesting. So, the cupholders retract into the console arm rest when not in use?

Because I don't feel like quoting right now, that gs arm rest fits surprisingly well. 
Really wasn't expecting that, surprised I haven't seen that before. How large are the cup holders?
Could that box be used for something stupid like in case water were to get in there or something? Just a thought, like a catch pool or something. I get what you mean about the air being able to store there but that just sounds funny lol storing air in a basically open compartment, never know though, probably something along the line of that. Old man let us know if you feel any changes.

I washed my car the other day but have really come to the conclusion that there's no point to wash it this time of year in Florida with love bug and rainy season.... Might just start driving in the rain and then wiping off the back bumper and behind the wheels when I get home evryday lol

For those that asked: it's a 1995 gs300 arm rest. There was a good bit of work involved in getting this to work. I basically cut the whole thing in half and trimmed it to fit. After that I trimmed the foam to fit and smoothed over the inside plastic using zip ties, liquid nails and some velvet carpet. The hinge from the sc armrest was used and I attached it by creating a mounting point at the rear. I have no clue what the measurements on any of it is. I was running on hopes and dreams lol and the cup holders will hold a bottle of water pretty nicely. Red bulls are kinda loose though.

good news peeps, intake sounds bad *** without the apparently pointless box, my guess is it's a silencer, air goes in it, creates a high pressure chamber which slows airflow in the main intake tube. haven't driven the car yet to see if there's any performance changes, but it sounds bad A$$. also today, i cut the center cross off on my bumper, i think it looks meaner that way and the button is almost done being mounted, just gonna fiberglass it in since i could figure out any other way to stick it in there without it moving.
sneak peak of something else i'll be doing it includes the words custom and shifter
and here's the video of the intake action

I have a 2001 GMC Yukon with a similar box setup. GM says that this box creates a "vortex" allowing the air velocity to increase. I have always thought it was marketing voodoo.
