I have one and it looks pretty hot

i drilled a tiny hole through the pin and stuck a small nail through it and bent the nail so it wouldnt come out.

So I've been thinking about trying to rig up a power hatch lift. Does anybody have one? What do you guys think would be the most effective way to do it?

I don't have a NOTICEABLE leak but I do lose oil. Not sure if it's leaking out or being burned off. Slightly worried about but it has not effected performance.

I have a Sony DSC-P7 and a Minolta DiMAGE Z1
They are both only 3.2 Megapixels but the Minolta blows the Sony away. But the Sony is smaller and much more portable.

It's definitely not the floor mat

Sometimes my gas pedal can be kinda hard to press. It usually only happens when I'm taking off from a complete stop. I try to press lightly for a smooth take-off but nothing happens so I have to press harder and then the gas pedal finally gives and my engine revs making me look like an idiot that doesnt know how to drive stick. The pedal itself seems to be fine so I'm thinking it might be the throttle cable. What do you guys think?

Still waiting on the design. She sent me an email today saying she will be working on it soon. As soon as I hear from her again, you guys will be the first to know.

Got my Calendar and t-shirt today. The calendar is OFF THE HOOK!! The shirt could be better quality, but I got the cheapest one so I can't really complain. We'll see how it looks after a wash or two. Nice job on the calendars.

damn that's alot of white. can't wait to see what it looks like when you put it back together

you are the Celica God

i think i might get myself a set of these. Where should I look?

Heat will be your best bet for the corners. If you are having trouble getting it to stick to those parts take a soft new paint brush (like you would use to paint your house) and cut the bristles so that they are about 1.5 inches long (this will make them more firm) and you can use the brush to press the film down into little crevaces you can't get into with a squeegee.

please tell me that's not 10 or 12 gauge wire

Although I'm a DJ full time, I have a 2nd job at a vinyl grpahics shop so I work with this stuff all day. Here's what I would do:
use a wet application fluid. you can use a mixture of 2 parts rubbing alcohol and 1 part water. Spray a mist this fluid onto the surface and then another light mist onto the film. This will allow you to move the film after it is applied. Once you get it into the position you want it, use a squeegee to remove excess fluid from between the surface and the film. Once it dries completely it will become sticky. Also to get the film to conform a little more around the tricky spots (and to help the fluid dry a little faster), use a heat gun and SLIGHTLY heat the film as you apply it. DO NOT USE TOO MUCH HEAT or it will make the film shrink and it will look like crap. GOOD LUCK. Let me know if you need more help.

yeah, clean them well with rubbing alcohol

Thanks Alex!

Finishing up the installation of my navigation and I need to tap into the speed signal wire and reverse wire. These wires help the accuracy of the GPS. I'm searching through the wiring diagrams but I'm having trouble finding it. Any help?

Ok even if i want to run the antenna out by the hatch/roof, I can't do it cuz the plugs for the antennas won't fit through the gap at the top of the hatch. I would have to take the hatch off in order to do it.

dammit, i wanna be cool too!!!! now i gotta make one

Well, I was trying to avoid putting them on the OUTSIDE cuz they are kinda ugly. Not to mention some a-hole could come along and rip the thing right off the car just to be a d1ck. So I was thinking about finding a place INSIDE the car to mount them. Yes they are little black boxes about the same height as a credit card but half the length. One for GPS and one for Sirius.

I might just end up mounting one on each front corner of the dash.

no ideas? If it's gonna be inside, it needs to be near a window in order to get the signal.

Yeah but 6GC needs one too!!!

Vince Young is the FRIKKIN man!!! That was one of the best games I've ever seen!
