I'd like to keep it under $500 (Cause it's going on the card)...

I have an FD with a Turbo Timer, M2 AST Bypass, HKS Exhaust, Defi Boost Gauge, 99 spec convo tails, H&R Springs, subwoofer, R1 lip and Mazdaspeed 15th spoiler... I just got a new watch, and a digicam, and a computer, so those are out.. Was thinking about an intake, but the FMIC I am saving for comes with that.



Suggestions?



Come on.. it's like shopping for yourself, except with someone else's money! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Oh, and you doun't get the purchased item... but duh.

I recommend a short-throw shifter cuz i didn't see it on your list..... esp. if it's a daily driver :bigok:

Can't go wrong with one of those

Ohh!! Good suggestion, rooter! I'm getting one from Jason with the GB. I forgot to list it!



What about this CD thingy off ebay.. It's a Mazda facory in-dash 6-CD changer. I already emailed the seller, he says it should drop in and if it doesn't I can return it.

I did the it the usual way, only I used gloss black vinyl that I bought from a local mom-and-pop sign shop, instead of paint (so I can undo it if it sucks.. 30x15 inches cost me $2, I got a Fiskars Circle Cutter for $9.95. Total cost: $11.95, two beers, and 3 hours.

That's a good idea, I am waiting on my buddy to come through with a used one for dirt cheap. We'll see!

Do the vinyl thing. If you need pointers, let me know. I didn't take pics of the install process, but I could talk you through it. If you're using vinyl, instead of paint, you get the added comfort of knowing you won't destroy your inner lenses if you screw up!

Yep..so where did you get the vinyl from?

Sinful7 01-22-2003 04:19 PM

Go to a shop that makes "signs" usually, that's all the name of the shop will say... or some variant of that. Black is such a common color for use, that the shop probably has some scrap lying around. Just ask them for some black vinyl sticker, 30"x10" (or some area equivalent), let them know you do not need any "die cutting" or printing or anything, just the vinyl stock. They'll usually sell you the scrap for dirt cheap. if it's more than $5.00, go somewhere else (cause they're ripping you off). 30"x10" was enough for me to do all my lights, and to re-do the 1st turn signal that I fucked up.



You'll need help installing the vinyl if you've never worked with it before... there are some tricks.. let me know when you get that far, i'll walk you through the rest.

do you just stick the vinyl on or do you have to heat it up or anything?

No heat! That WILL CAUSE VINYL STICKERS TO BUBBLE!

Sinful7 01-23-2003 09:49 AM

Go find or buy a clean normal size plastic spray bottle thingy. Put about 3 drops of dish soap or liquid hand soap or baby shampoo for every 8 ounces of water in the bottle. If you have a friend, have them spray (lightly, preferrably) the back of the vinyl as you remove it from the backing. If no friend, carefully remove the vinyl and spray the back.



After the vinyl back is wet, it won't stick under light pressure to your lenses. you should be able to slide it around on the lens, as it floats on a cushion of soap. It will stick very well to itself, however, so don't let it fold over! You can also spray the lens a little if you would like.



Then, you need to squeegee (sp?) the water out from under the sticker. This can take some time. Just grab a soft cloth, get the surface (top) of the sticker/lens a little wet, and use your thumb inside the cloth to push the water out to the sides. You may have to repeatedly do this. Be careful of paper towels, they scratched my lenses!
