[NEW PRODUCT! SMD SunFlash - UV Activated Polyester Resin (AVAILABLE NOW!)]

It's more for your car so it doesn't smell like resin for a few weeks but I'll try it anyways since I have some left over.

[NEW PRODUCT! SMD SunFlash - UV Activated Polyester Resin (AVAILABLE NOW!)]

does this mix well with anything such as the Strawberry or Grape resin mask? it'd be pretty cool if you could sell it already mixed with the mask if it does.

Can someone show an example of a good uv light to use for curing

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.

[need more hp on my 2004 ford focus]

2.0L duratec motor? might want to try www.fswerks.com or www.topspeedperformance.net a lot depends on what you want your end result to be

[Supplies Needed For Box Build]

instead of clear silicone I use a colored silicone, usually black or bronze, so I can spots that didn't make a good seal. also I never pre-drill my holes, I use Spax hardwood screws, no need to pre-drill or countersink as the screw does it for you.

[anyone know what these are?]

those look like a 3 piece version of the Steeda Ultralights.

[got hands on a turbo]

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]

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]

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?]

I know that but theres not one that mark anything for the radio under the hood,.i found the one inside>anyboyd know whats its called for the one inside?

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.

[WTB 1/0 wire]

I can't go that low, it'll cost me $11 just to ship.

[WTB 0 gauge ring terminals]

lmk if you didn't get any yet, I have 10 I can do for $13.50 shipped.

[WTB 1/0 wire]

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.

[Anyone here take the MECP Installer test?]

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.

[FI shipping speed]

I just ordered my 15 inch FI BTL fully loaded D1 on tuesday the 8th and I checked my email today and it was shipped out yesterday and eta was the 18.. Couldnt believe how fast it was.. by what ive read i was expecting at least a month or longer.. So i gata brag on them for the quickness of everything so far and might have to brag on them more when it gets here lol.. ..

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.
