Ran out of FC stuff to do... so I got creative. ;)

After fitting my exhaust I'm officially out of stuff to do until I get a socket and new crush washer for one of my oil cooler lines (bottom one looks like it's leaking at the crush washer) and replace my front pads and fix the rear wheel bearing.

I got bored and since my car now sounds like an angry weedwhacker I decided it should look pissed off, check it yo:



It looks hot when I turn them on, lol (right-clicky, save-as.)

I also cleaned the garage and found a use for the extra housing I had lying around. I built some ghetto shelves and finally have all my stuff off my horizontal workstations.

Hehe, no, she just rolled her eyes and sighed. She just doesn't get Rx-7's and how bad-*** they are.

Speaking of which, she's yelling at me to go to bed, lol.

lmao oh man. That is exsactly what my girl would do if I did that to hers. She loves her 7 more then anyting but dosent have a pashion like me.

You should have ben there when I was teacher her to be macanic when im not there. The look on her face when I say if its to flooded you have to take your spark plugs out. And im under the hood removing IC piping wires exsplaning T L 1 2 and how to tell plugs apart and so forth. It was great but she never got discuraged. Just said it keeps burning me there to hot. She allways has a huge smile when she comes back from a drive.

Lets see. About 30% of the light is coverd. So you will lose aproxamitly 30% of lighted visability. city driving you will probly be fine there is usahly alot of street lights.

I checked that before and after and it doesn't really effect it that much. I never drive at night anyways since I work days and never leave the house.

They're not that difficult to remove if they get boring either. I just made them out of some spare fiberglass mat I had lying around and the chrome headlight retainer holds them in.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention for all the haters.

My FTPs have some pretty good halogen's halogen's installed that should make up for the lost headlight area. I just have to get a new relay and they'll be working with the headlights again.

I used a puny one I had lying around last time and it worked fine until I was relocating it, dropped it, and the insides must've gotton brittle from too much juice being run through and it stopped working.

Dude, that's cool, no matter what the haters say. You can always tell the guy with the Civic hatchback thats driving to slow that you're "German Inspired Japanese Herbie" is pissed that he won't get out of the way. BANZAI!
