September 2020 Update #2: Sound Insulation and Daily Review

Had a blast driving the 818 for a couple weeks. Still very happy that nothing major went wrong. At the same time, this thing is definitely never going to be a single-car level daily driver. Switching back to my normal car definitely makes me appreciate the quietness and relative comfort for long drives or around the rougher roads of Atlanta. Also, the below list of issues shows there’s still lots of little things to work on.
Issues

Gas filler neck has a slow drip where it is coupled to the bottom of the gas tank. Definitely something to fix.
Windshield wiper sweep needs to change slightly towards the driver’s side. It hits the hood on the fast setting.
Front hood corner rubs the A-pillar on the driver’s side. Just a small trim needed.
Passenger side door lock gets stuck locked sometimes. Need to investigate.
Driver’s door window doesn’t seal perfectly towards the rear.
Water intrusion through the front of the door/footwell area. Needs a panel created to fill the space.
Very slight wheel well rubbing at full steering lock in the front.

Covered the rear firewall in Kilmat sound deadening. Similar to dynamat. I only plan to cover the rear wall fully, everywhere else will have it used more sparingly.
I finished making the shoulder cover panel on the driver’s side. Passenger side is almost done, just needs a few small things finished on it.
Added some adhesive-backed foam to the corners of the firewall to better seal off the engine bay.
Carpeting coming soon I hope!

So I quickly realized after dailying the car that a few things on the radio needed to be streamlined. Notably, if I plan to use streaming services mostly I need it to auto-load because it’s annoying to restart it manually every single time you get in the car.
Configured my front dash-cam software. It will work with a USB 1080P camera I have that I will mount behind the rearview mirror. This gives me not only a dashcam but also a built-in go-pro type cam that can be used with track apps.
Installed FCC Launcher which is designed for use in car with Android head units. This app is awesome! It auto-launches my music apps and my dashcam app on startup. It also makes it easy to have large icons that are car-friendly.
