Busy Sat. (3 gauge pod and engine painting for me :D )

[Tonyyank]

Well this weekend Brenden, Amber and I wanted to get our cars just a lil better then they already were :)

Ambers car got - Jamstraights moded and installed, Neon wires fixed, and misc fuses replaced :)

Brenden's car got - Rewired ground for interior light mod, Installed Tranny sender and wired up Trans temp gauge.

Tony's car got - Jamstraights moded and installed, engine painted, Installed 3 gauge pod, A/F ratio gauge, Oil pressure sender and gauge, and cleaned air filter :)

Oh yeah and Amber decided it would be funny to pick off my front inlay cause it was missing the "I" :rolleyes: lol

Thanks to Amber, Brenden, Seth, and Jeremy for all your help!!

Special thanks to Amber cause she can paint an engine :D

Thats why I said it:thumbs:

What are you going to make the cubby out off? I was considering doing that as well, but I was thinking of buying the rear passenger seat panel that bodies up to the side and cutting it from that to make the whole thing uniform. Just curious.

Tony..... when Amber painted the manifold did you pull it off or did she paint it while it was installed on the car?

[Amber99ga]

while it was on the car..too chicken to take it off for fear we would mess somethin up

So obvious the next question is did Tony take pictures of you painting the manifold? Jk :)

Just joking Tony, but post them if you got them:thumbs:

[Amber99ga]

NOPE sorry...missed out on that one :)

haha..whys that Matt ??

[AMRAAM4]

errrr, so did she paint it by hand with a brush?? I'm guessing so, because taping off around it would be a biotch!!

What was used to paint it? I tried the paint markers...BLAAAAHHH:o

Selling the SC? Need the $$, or is it the install? I'm sure you can find someone to install it for a decent price. I gave a co-worker $250 to do it!! He loved it, although frustrating at times, he liked the new car challenge

Just my feeble, not-so-funny attempt at humor.....C'mon, with all the talk about Amber's headlights, err.....taillights.........or whatever it was. I'm a moron.

its a matter of me being broke mostly and the fact that my car has over 82,000 miles on it and I dont think that it would hold up well.. although I would still LOVE to have it on my car....hmmm I dunno what I want any more :)

Come on now I was talkin bout the SC :)....

[Doug]

Why don't you guys put the SC on yourselves. Its not THAT hard to put a SC on. (I did a turbo swap on a Rx-7 and installed a Vortech on a SI ) :p Seriously though. You guys don't have any friends that know a little about F/I or can help you.

[cavingman]

we know a few people around here, but ambers not sure if she wants to strap a SC on a car with 84k miles and deal with all the resulting problems :)

for me yes it would be that hard! and its more a matter of I need this car to last me till I can get a new one sometime in the next year or two...I would love to have it on...I'm just afraid it would result in amber havin no tranny...or some other stupid problems.....if anyone wants to put it on for me....and knows what they are doin I would love to still do it..just wanna know that I can afford the problems that may come along with it!...and right now I sure as hell cant!
