Installed new speakers into the Element. Pioneer TS-A1684R, a great improvement in sound quality compared to the crappy stock speakers.

In other news, after a 1500km drive to San Francisco in scorching heat and intense uphill highway sections at 4000rpm+, idle is sounding a little "tickier" than usual. Probably time for a valve adjustment.

Brakes are also getting worse, warped before the trip, now warped even more and something wrong with the brake fluid/master cylinder causing sudden pressure changes during high speed braking. I suspect deteriorated brake hoses. Going to get it looked at as soon as I return back to Vancouver.
