MY THOUGHTS EXAAAAAACTLY. anddontforgettocupdaballs.

I def feel the love. ...and yes I too hope I get busy on some fun building sometime soon. BTW-if ur lookin for my previous noteworthy builds/shinanigans.... *DOWN THERE* *DOWN THERE* *DOWN THERE* *DOWN THERE* *DOWN THERE* IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Wow just caught this. Sorry folks. I switched jobs in June. went from 25hrs/week to 45/week and "work schedule" of 3pm-9pm a few days a week to 525am-230pm M-F. I have just been adjusting to the new job, trying to focus on doing it correctly and there is just a shitload of info to absorb so the audio kinda takes backseat. I am in front of a PC ALL day now, however photobucket has been blocked at work since about 4-5 months ago otherwise I would have the new world record for posts. I am still here, lurking. I will still post some builds, even if they get hated on hahaha, I could really care less, I'm just doin what I do anyways...Part of the problem is, with the shitty economy and no "CHICKEN" to fund projects, I have no builds/projects to work on and I can't really afford to just rebuild my car every week, not to mention the gawdamn holidays have me busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest and I the weather is full-on shitty as well. Add in keepin up w/ the "homies" and tryin to holler @ a lady or 2 and shit I am surprised I sleep at all. I apologize for my absence, but rest assured I am here, peakin in... and I REP SMD EVERY DAY! (rockin the beanie relentlessly) Anybody need me do not be afraid to use the PM function. ~Chris

Couple options....all depend on how "badly"you want HIDs. buy "the coolest" ones you can find for w/e yr....and just cut the area as large/small as you need it to accomodate the larger/smaller housing and then Fiber Glass them in...that'd be a fun project. In ANY case make sure you incorperate a PROJECTOR so the cuttoff is correct. Either an aftermarket set for a new ford like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-04-FORD-...A1%7C240%3A1318 Or buy JUST the projector and hack up an old set of stocks to retro fit the projector in that housing. Buy a newer yr "stock" set that has projectors and glass them in. lord knows you got the tech support here to git er done if u were hesitant.

meh if I dint say it, James prolly woulda. And i just some one ask how much airspace you had, and you put up the L X W X H...but I wouldn't trust someone who couldnt do the math... to measure accurately eaither. exactly.

Agreed.... damnit beat me to it... f*ckin hell...words outta my mouth... chea...good luck with THAT... Well put...16cubes+ homie Multiplication? Division? too difficult? HAHA my THOUGHT exactly....until I read the next one.....*makes sad face* Baaaahhhhh! @ least u gettin ur $$ back...I'd say buy the same subs...but only 2-3 of em BNIB and build a proper box for em...or have someone who knows how build it.

It's wednesday and Since around 3:00pm I been drinkin Dos Manos Tequila....just tryin somethin new...not my usual stuff but it gets teh job done.

Well at he spelled evrything rig.....oh....nvm. :01nocomment8so:

Is it me or is that box flexxin like a mofo?

WOW as long as it's all lightweight in here... I'm drinkin protien shake after hittin the gym hard and lottsa water to hydrate. Tryin get back in shape by new yrs. But if I was drinkin, it'd be Herradura Tequila (BETTER than Patron IMO)...&coke. -fill a glass bout 1/2-3/4 way with ice cubes, pour in tequila to the top of the ice, fill the rest with coca-cola..not diet coke, not pepsi or any other craap, just reg normal coke. keeps me nice and unproductive on my days off haha.

I would make my own. I was actually thinkin that when I do make my splash shields I'd CF overlay em.

Yea I inspected the hell out them b4 I hooked em up, and I know what ur talkin bout-the plastic clip that retains that plug is "produced" or "machined" pretty shitty and i had to use a small flathead to lift the "teeth" to get them to seat, but the flaw in this case is actually reversed, it's hard as shit to get them IN, but once that plug is in you better want it there for a long time cuz gettin it apart is no joke...at least not w/ out just shredding/snapping the plastic. In one of those pics you can see the 2-9006 plugs that come with the kit...the one on the right is all grey while the left one is nice and shiny black...thats because I had to sand them both down to get them to fit into the OEM connector...suuuper tight fit and I sanded them bishes quite a bit. I figure the more help I give this cheapo lil kit the longer it might last and thus far they are doing exactly what they're sposed to.

Offfff topic much? Them seats look smooth as hell Steve. And the dash is cleeeeeeaaan. This interior is really startin to take shape and brings back memories of stuff I used to see in CA&E and similar "best/newest thing in audio" mags....and wondering "how much work went into all that" and how it got from raw materials to look like it came like that from factory. Keep it up bro, it's def some on another level sh*t. Chicken is a lucky dood.

So wait........ What's the würd?

It's under hood. I have a stock motor that I aint showin off...it just has to function. If it bothers you, seek help, I'm fine knowing its secure in there, and Like I said next thing for that area..hopefully b4 the rain comes, is a painted glassed cover so it won't be seen anyway...but I would do that more just keep water off them...even if they are water proof which I don't think they are, as the ballasts need to be grounded to keep from dying out or flickering.

Wow had to look/check to even know what ur talking about...I assume Ur referring post #45 on ur wall build? I don't see any ball busting or hating there...That's just me givin you the heads up on product. I know these are a cheaper set, but I'm runnin these cheapies for now since at $65/kit shipped, it's only about $15 more than a set of Silvania Silverstar ultras ($50/pair), which is what I usually run, and if they last a year or 2 Thats worth it for me. Also like I said my buddy has beeen running these for over a yr in his car and more than 6months in some of his friends rides with no issues...but yes they are some of the cheapest ones that I saw out there. I was mainly going for a BLUER upgrade than the Halo brand blue/xenons I had in there (which is the orange lookin driver side light in those pics)...now I'm kinda thinkin I shoulda gone 6500K instead of 8000K cuz these are super blue. I can imagine gettin pulled for em. Also with the grounded ballasts and 35w consumption, theres zero light dimmage. I'm still on a stock alt. and until I get an Iraggi i'm not puttin any more batts in there to overload the stock alt. Here's the link to the set I got: Mine are 8000K 9006 bulbs http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-Xenon-C...emZ330276299104

I didn't make the mounts to be "bling bling pretty"....if so i woulda painted em. They are there to give the mounts something solid to mount to and keep them away from the moving parts and heat of the engine. I don't really care what U think bout it. The mounts are there for functionality, and I bedlined em to make them blend in a lil better should anyone see em, and it water proofs the MDF. Yup zip ties. I took some 18ga plumers tape and wrapped it in friction tape to make black "straps" that I could put a bolt thru to sinch down in the location as the zip ties, but I realized getting em TIGHT in that minimal space would have been much more work and not any more secure than using zip ties. If I ever want to make it "pretty" (cuz I show off my stock engine all the time..yea right) I'll change it up...but it works just fine for now. HI haters :censored:

And that's BEFORE I put up the fiberglass pics. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAA. <---STILL NOT CARING. The next part of it will be some glassed shrouds to keep water off em, since the CF hood has no gasket like the oem did.

My buddy with the 2004 civic 4 door... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=8190 ...has run this brand Kit relaibly in a few cars, including his civic, with no issues...so I finally decided to do it. The only real "work" was making "mounts" or "brackets" for the ballasts since there is absolutely no damn room for them anywhere in the engine bay that doesn't subject them to maad heat or possible damage. I know no one reads the shit I put between pics anyways... So here' we go:

Condition? BNIB? Thrashed? reconed? & yes pics please.
