no seriously, i put it on a few times already, got pics somewhere. the curve of the wing fits the curve of the hatch/3rd brake light and all. you'll like it when you see it, nice and subtle.

ouch defprun, ouch.



anywho today i did some MORE! HOLY ****! i fixed my negative terminal, checked for a draw (******* intermittent draw always kiling my battery at the worst time)



but BY FAR the BEST MOD IVE DONE TO MY FD was what i did today. I basically made my own "Pettit Starter Booster". Basically the signal wire to the starter from the key sucks, loses voltage etc so youll get the death click, slow starts etc. What you do is take the signal wire off, connect it to a new relay, ground the other terminal. then run a wire to one side of the relay switch to the +12v post of the starter and the other side of the relay switch to the solenoid connector on the starter.



basically you get 100% battery power to the solenoid, car starts like a ******* champ everytime now.



love it.... odometer still blank.



about this mod, believe it or not it has made a noticeable difference, and there's less engine noise it seems too (used to hear the air whooshing thru the intercooler). Car is running a lot richer now which is good means i can dial back the fuel and is pulling very hard.

see i learned how to finish stuff. i cant go somewhere, do something and finish it. Now i plan on going somewhere starting something, then finishing it the next day. that time whenever i showup to work on something i'm "just wrapping it up" and it seems like less of a chore.



ive begun accomplishing lots like that, 'tis how i got the yellow car to run last year haha everyday i went to the garage and finished one little thing.
