Install fog light and I bought front fog light switch but how to install fog switch i dont know ??

You have to figure out which ones are power and which are ground. That switch has to be ground because of the light inside. Otherwise the power works right through like a breaker. So you have to figure out where your power line runs and this causes a separation in it. So you cut the power wire in half and run this right through (the two power ends) and then extend the ground onto a screw on the frame. Easy peasy Japanesey.


Installed the gauges back into the car and snapped a shot.

I've started to repaint my calipers and drums on yellow, and waiting for my rims in new colour...

changed my fabric seat covers to the doggy black with red stitching "leather" covers....well the back seats are done..they look awesome

Today I pushed an "Easy" button. Passenger airbag removal is a PITA, and you have to do it lying upside down in the car. Well...



What can I say? I got sick of her always being on top. I want to be on top for once.

Woooo! airbag removal! That's just like my car haha no airbags or wiring at all

and I got these babies on today



Next project tomorrow is do replace the tie rod ends and give my car a semi alignment because it's sooo bad. Both wheels are facing inward and the passenger side is turned in pretty far...
And yes, I know guys, it needs to be lowered. Let's just hope my struts start to go so I can get new ones and put on lowering springs.

got my megan racing coils and front new axles

Hooked up my xbox in my car. Turned out better than expected

Pics for epic contemplation.

Today I got nabbed by the fuzz for careless driving. I'm thinking court...

Egad! What were you doing?

To clarify, I mention court because I'm thinking of pursuing the ticket to be dropped, not that I'm going to court for my careless driving, necessarily. Anyway, I took a 15 MPH (marked) curve in a bit of a hot fashion. This is a secluded piece of two-lane, but it was damp. It's a very tight 90 followed by another tight 90 in the opposite direction, at which a cop was parked, who had already pulled somebody over. I saw the lights right as I was exiting the corner, so with braking I understeered slightly into the other lane but was able to stop the car right away because the LEO was already yelling at me to pull over. No big deal, really, it wasn't even a loss of control. Still, I garnered a ticket for careless driving...

Glad to hear you weren't swerving in and out of traffic during rush hour!

Well, sounds a bit like regular spirited driving to me; you shouldn't take too much heat if he doesn't appear for court or if you can have it thrown out by the DA as frivolous. Good luck either way my friend.

Yeah no, not that bad...

The LEO has no record of me speeding, and I can defend myself based on the fact that I anticipated a potential stop for an emergency vehicle, so it's a possibility. Court fees scare me though...

Spent 6 hours washing, compounding, buffing and polishing.
Then went to take pics

Installed some Ebay pre-facelift clear turns and sidemarkers

FINALLY installed my post face fogs after jumping through hoops to do so.

Changed my Oil and Oil Filter after 6,000 miles! It should free up some power now, or so I hope!!

Crummy Midas Oil Filter put in before I even bought the car



and the new stuff




Some say oil Rotella and Purolator Filter are the best??
