Prepping for the trip

Once again I am preparing for a journey. However, this time the trip isn’t just going out of town somewhere. Neither is it a trip to Bangladesh. For the first time this centuary I am taking a trip as a vacation. New places. New scenary and hopefully a ton of pictures.

The whole thing starts this Saturday so as you might have guessed the countdown that has begun a while back still continues. The trip starts off at Istanbul and goes through Cyprus and then finally London. Fine, I’m going to London to meet people I haven’t met in a while. It has nothing to do with sight seeing, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t do any… may be. Only time will tell :)

This is the biggest modification I have done to the car to date. Previously, I have told you that I added an iPod connector, then I told you I changed grill, but all of those bows down and kneels infront of mod 5. Thanx to LEDMod.com, I have gotten all the correct parts and got awesome instructions to changing all the stupid amber leds on the dash. This one is just so awesome, that I wouldn’t even bother with the before and after pictures. (Granted I didn’t have any before pictures anyway). Without further ado, I present to you the next dash of Pheonix.

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am about this.

Ever since I saw a short antenna on a tC in Davis, CA, I found the OEM antenna ridiculously long. I mean it’s 16″! Seen that I have checked the Scion catalogs casually over the next few years to see if they had any smaller antennas. All in vain.

Finally I have given up the idea of getting something from TRD or Scion and started looking on the internet. Of all the ones that I found this new one met what I wanted for an awesome price :)

Unlike the OEM, it’s nice small and still gets the job done. Not to mention that thanks to eBay, it also wasn’t that expensive at all. And everyone knows that swapping the antennas were just a piece of cake :)
