This thread kicks my build's butt all the way. I thought I had the patience of Job from the Bible, but know I was wrong. This is an awesome car and everything just look brand new and never driven. Makes me want to rip the carpet out of mine and redo it all again with Dynamat throughout the entire cabin. I need to figure out why my drive shaft is making some rattling noise in first gear, and only in first gear. i think the actual driveshaft is hitting the actual underside of the car or the center bearing is shot....

Two things, your location says IL/WI how do you keep your car so clean, is it mainly kept in the garage? and secondly, I noticed that your radio is still stock, do you leave it off or is there an AUX port hidden away?
