That's ironic about you doing the crankcase vent update and plugs, as I just did the plugs this past weekend. I have the crankcase vent update in my living room but haven't had a chance to tackle it. How difficult was it? I've read that there are some tight spaces but otherwise fairly straightforward.
For the plug swap, I went with ngk BCPR7ES-11 to replace the orginal platinums. I was skeptical at first, but Nick at GenuineSaab said that they should work well, but that I will have to replace more often. At a cost of almost 1/4 the price of the platinums I don't see that being a problem. The coppers are also a step colder than the original Aero plugs. I also switched out my factory Bosch dump valve for a Forge piston dump valve. When I first did the swap on the valve and plugs, I thought something was wrong b/c the car didn't pull as hard. After the ECU settled in for a day, however, it's stronger than before definitely. I think I was losing some power with the old plugs and although the dump valve doesn't give any more boost of course, it holds tight all the way to redline now. Great upgrade IMO.
About the stereo: Trollpod ships this week. The delay has been insane I agree. I'll report back how the thing actually works when I get it in hand. The rear parcel speakers I've never taken out. I assumed they were just attached with screws from underneath. If I remember that means you will need to pull the carpet back to access.
Interesting about your bluetooth setup. I've looked at these kits, namely the nicer Motorola ones and thought seriously about the install. I have a Nokia BH-800 headset, which is extremely small and works well, but it would be nice to not have to wear it in the car.
BTW here's a link to pics of my car. I still haven't had a chance to install the brakes which are pictured at the bottom. I would love to see some pics of the new bumper on yours if you get time. Take care my friend.
