just wait for me to release the product - i will have all the info you need here is a teaser of the label we are working on for the can's. trust me on this, look at all the fiberglass i just did. I used ONE BRUSH and ONE CUP and they are still good right now. Gotta piece of cardboard over the cup so the skylight in my shop doesn't slowly make it gel up. Also, i will have sun activated body filler and kitty hair too! Stay tuned. gotta give you some serious credit on actually making products to change the car audio industry. i'm slowing considering going back in to the car audio world for a career again. I got out in the early part of the 2000s as an installer and sales person. I became a vendor rep in Home Depot and now I'm getting the itch to get back in to car audio b/c of the things I see going on and products that you're coming out with.

got hands on a turbo
mothra replied to Dr. Winn's topic in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!
with your motor being 2.2L and really high reving, that turbo is not going to really help you out. it'll probably run out of breath ~6k rpm. that turbo should have an internal wastegate. you'll need a blow off valve, intake plumbing (intercooler if budgeted), exhaust manifold to mount turbo, downpipe from turbo to exhaust, upgraded injectors, some sort of tuning. good thing about your engine is it's an air velocity tune which are relatively easy. -
Leaky exhaust manifold
mothra replied to jeyrapboy's topic in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!
you'll be fine as long as it's applied well. it'll either last a few weeks or few years, no real way to tell other than just doing it. -
Look what i got in the mail
mothra replied to carlosg_313's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
should blame the shipping company, should blame sender for not properly packaging motor. i've shipped and received motors and never had this happen -
Problem with stereo or wiring?
mothra replied to Beanz's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
just b/c it's not marked "radio" doesn't mean that is the only one you can check. you should check all fuses. usually the constant is connect to another accessory besides the radio. -
I can't go that low, it'll cost me $11 just to ship.
-
lmk if you didn't get any yet, I have 10 I can do for $13.50 shipped.

i got some Install bay 1/0 wire in blue, it's actually really flexible. $1.65/ft plus actual shipping if interested. I only have about 40-50ft. in the first pic it's the wire in the right, the wire on the left is Hyperflex just to show flexibility.

i'll be sitting for the Basic in a couple of weeks. I stopped working in the industry about 8 years ago and the book back than was not like it is now. Hopefully the questions are as easy now as it was back than. I heard that now you actually need to know what all the colors on the resistors stand for and that any thing in the margin notes is definitely on the test. Good Luck with your test, you just taking it for fun or for work? I'm taking it in hopes to actually make a footprint in the super saturated market down here.

don't go bragging about shipping speed when you don't even have the product. I ordered a re-cone kit for my Q on 10/1 and got an e-mail on 10/4 saying it's been sent but my UPS tracking still says "billing info received" and it's 10/9. brag about shipping speed after you get your stuff.
