well then Jteezy, i will forward all the requests i get towards you. just so you know, you need a halogen based bulb in the housing as well because during the day when the projectors are not on, you need to be able to flash the high beams and you can't flash on and off xenon bulbs. otherwise you'd n...

hey greengoblin231, these are in fact oem housings that have been modified. so, they are essentially bolt-on. now, you need a custom wiring harness because the stock one is garbage and you need to solder into a couple of wires under the dash for the relays to work properly. SO, i wouldn't call it pl...

retrofitted projectors are done!!!

hey, i took on the challenge this winter of retrofitting some projectors into my baby and let me tell you, it was worth the $$$ and time. went with BMW E46 bi-xenon projectors and a pair of 3" fog lamps for my highbeam flashing since you can't flash the projectors on and off (really bad for bul...

Hey, To answer your question yes, these will be for sale to the public within a few months after the group buy. Also, I will perhaps talk to you about a CNC Laser Jarid as I would love to hear about the companies you know about. Also, I will have video soon of the kit with the fender on. You are co...

very slick :pimp:

i'm real excited to get these now. one question though, why does he keep lifting and stabilizing the door with his had before getting in? shouldn't the shock be able to raise to door on it's own?

thanks.

general concensus on here seems to be that the clutchmasters stage 3 clutch mated with a fidanza 9lb flywheel is the best option. everyone's going to have their own opinions on the topic though. gl

I was totally kidding. It would not be an easy thing to diagnose. Thought you would read into that, sorry. Posts are hard to relate emotion into. As for the brightness- be careful Toyota had a recall on the 922s in the Celica b/c they said they were bright enough to blind someone looking at the car...

there's a vacuum that is created and needed. when you pull the dip stick it disrupts it slightly due to the small diameter of the hole. when you unscrew the cap you open a big hole and the vacuum cannot be maintained and the engine stalls. someone might have a better explanation, but that's the reas...

never mind, figured it out. controller has a highbeam input to turn off DRL's, so they turned on, then controller thought high beams were on, so turned off and then back on they went and so on and so forth. here's a pic of the wire that needs to be cut. http://ca.geocities.com/ovendenk/pics/Other/Im...
