How the hell did you get that nut off the engine block?!

it took a specialty star bit that we luckily had I'm pretty sure. I'll have to go through and look at the pics again :P

What nut are we talking about here exactly ?

Recently I tinted my tail lights, I think I would like them darker so I need to remove them later and hit them again

Most of the stuff I do is a first time, being that I've only been doing this for almost a year now. This time i wanted to try plexiglass

got some designs sketched up

I went to Cashdollar2009's shop that he works at and we pulled out the oscillosope to set my mid/high gains. We also decided to bring out SPL lab meter to see what I'm doing now. I was very impressed. Last time I metered I was 139.4db

also Ford didn't put a trunk release button in their zx2's so I made my own like a boss lol

I came in here for sex.

All I saw was suede and carbon fiber.

I are disappoint.

Plexi looks slick as hell, and that's a pretty damn good number to man. Keep it up grasshopper!

Can't go wrong with the Ebay led's. Mine are still working fine. Think it was 25 single led's, like the ones in your cupholders. I just took the stock bulbs out of the dome light, then wired up 3 led's per 1 bulb socket and it lights up pretty damn bright. I was gonna get the actual led bulbs, but dropping ~$20-$30 on 3 bulbs wasn't really tickling my fancy.

I'll do something like that eventually... I'm wiring LEDS to the door open ground so that when a door opens LEDs turn on in the doors and light up the plexiglass
