re wired my headlights so like modern cars they turn off when the ignition cuts. no more flat batteries now

also killed a dirty great big spider that came to say hi while i had my head under the dash. scared the s**t out of me.

Brisbane_boy · 19-07-2009, 03:35 PM

have painted both sides of my car and bonnet, So all that is left is the front and rear bars roof and boot door.
I have put prismatech in the paint aswell so it shows it off a bit

Will post pics when done

holy jebus, best day EVER! if you can get to a dirt track i highly recommend this. we had only 7 cars there and 4 hours to play, which made for ample time to either get tired or break the car lol. of course i did the most damage, broadsided into a traffic cone with 2 tyres round it and dented the back left door right down the bottom. not too fussed, i'll try and pop it back out tomorrow. but apart from that i got 3 corners linked sideways and was so arse out people kept asking 'front wheel drive yeh?'. by the end of the day everyone was going hugely sideways and in the last 20 mins we ran some timed laps. ****ING AWESOME!

will post pics when i get them. hopefully there are a few that will illustrate how damn drifty the day was.

Brisbane_boy · 19-07-2009, 07:16 PM

nice one marc. is it a single din unit that folds out?? or a double?

marcs_sp20 · 19-07-2009, 07:28 PM

funny but i was just talking to the iwmac guys last night about hiring it out for 4/8 hours. i didn't think anyone from agt would've been interested.

so fresh · 19-07-2009, 08:36 PM

all i've done was put LED's in the other air vent...not connected to power yet,
and i made some electrical thingy which i have no idea what its called
but instead of feeding a WHOLE lot of wires through that hole with that
rubber gromit ,just feed that thingy through the hole,its like a multi plug with an extention cord connected....i think????...but it works

hehe, hilarious!

had a huge spider on steroids I'm sure

come out from under the dash & make it's way up onto windscreen & casually walk across it. Scared the absolute crap out of me. Hope'n it wouldn't jump onto me

Soon as I could pull car over I dived out & finally got the bugger out the door........was not cool!

70NYD · 19-07-2009, 09:11 PM

70NYD · 19-07-2009, 09:42 PM

)
