Default unsettling discovery...
I've been getting a squeaky hissing knocking noise coming from my Z16 dashboard. I suspected it had to do with the HUD or maybe the DIC. So, last weekend I decided to pull it apart.

This is what I found (not for the faint of heart)...what should I do now?

I see the problem...the flux capacitor is rubbing against the ion scrambler causing the "whooshing" noise ...as for the smell, could be because you stepped in dog poo
