I currently have 168XXX on the clock right now. I got it with 154XXX as a xmas present from my parents;). Headgaskets and Tbelt were done at 154K.

good work on the climate controls very nice

get some outside pics of that puppy! I've been looking into getting custom plates too, put something like b-kaz on them or something haha. the hvac bulbs look really good!

I know I need some. My girlfriend always uses my camera for school so I can never take pictures. I love the HVAC bulbs too.

gah! NASA wants you to get a new head unit..

 

a nice red one..

 

nice climate controls, all my lights are burned out

I want a new red one haha. I cant find any good ones that have red display though. Pioneer makes one I like but it doesn't have iPod or HD radio so I wouldn't be gaining anything besides red lights.

 

Unless you know of a good one I am not aware of haha

well my sony xpolde one has hd satellite radio, and an aux port and both red or green lights (can switch between them)

 

it's 2years old i think, so i'd check out the new sony stuff

Good lookin car! I really like the second 12v outlet in the cosole. I'm gonna have to do that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh... Pics of gf? Lmao. JK

Ill look into Sony, always thought they were expensive but maybe they have something for a good price.

 

I love the 2nd outlet its nice when I'm using my GPS and my iPod needs to be charged.

Your Legacy GT looks so familiar! Hmmm... Oh that's because there is one just like it sitting in my driveway haha

Well I put a little work into the subi this weekend, still have more to go. Also rolled over to 169k.

 

Cleared corners:

I still need to find some superstar chrome 1157A bulbs because those amber bulbs look horrible.

 

A few other projects I'm working on:

-Changing the color of the LED on thew driver side window switch. Ill post a DIY.

-Painting all the wood grain black

-Painting the grill black

i should go pull my turn singles out and do it since its raining so plans got ruined but it looks good

Its not to hard. At 170 degrees I had them in there for about 15 minutes, but another 5 minutes would probably make it a lot easier. Just make sure when putting them back together to no get that glue everywhere. I didn't think about it and not the glue is on the chrome inside part and it looks horrible.

getting the glue off is easy, just gotta reheat it again, get a wet paper towel and rub it off, happened to me when i was cleaning out my headlights. heating it at 250 works alil better, gives u enff time to break them open, pull the lens out and put it back together

Maybe ill try it again then.

 

I got the LED changed out also, very easy to do.

 

There are 4 tabs to take the black cover off the back then 6 more tabs to pull the white board out.

The LED is right above the clear switch (driverside switch)

Just solder the old LED out and put a solder a new one in. Very easy to do. I bought the LEDs from radioshack part #276-1622. It is an assortment of 20 LEDs. It was the only small LEDs they had. Cost $1.99.

 

Ill take some pictures tonight when it gets dark out.

Also fixed the broken corner marker with a little JB Weld

While the paint was drying I worked on the side skirts. I have already done this to the front bumper, mirrors, door handles and side moldings. Still have the rear bumper and spoiler to finish.

 

I am using turtle wax polishing compound and it takes most of the yellow out and cleans them up nice. Only problem is it shows all of the deep scratches better

 

You cant see it very well but the left side is done and the right isnt done yet.

Now I am working on changing the LED color in my aftermarket Jensen radio. Should have that done buy the end of the week then it is on to the HVAC LED's (the small ones that tell you which setting you are on)

 

BTW sorry for the crappy pictures my good camera is having issues right now, so I have to use the old 3MP POS camera.

 

Okay I'm done now

^should look pretty slick once the grille is on

You can definitely see a differene in the color of the side skirts, and +1 on the grill looking good once you get it back in!

The side skirts look 100 times better now. I just need to do thew rear bumper and all my paint will match.

 

The grill is in!

Also I have a DIY up for changing the window switch LED color

Waiting for some LED's to come in the mail then its onto changing the rest of my lights to red. Oh I cant wait!

nice bro, im in the process of doin sanding my grill also

just havent decided if the chrome area is gonna be black or red.....

I didn't like the chrome because nothing else on my whole car is chrome and it looked tacky in my opinion. The red trim would look sweet though!

Your car looks good Subikid! Looks like your front bumper could use a paint job, it's got a little wear and tear.

go red! color matching FTW

 

subikid, the grill looks sweet, along w the sideskirts! reminds me that I gotta do mine at some point haha; I'll definitely be doing the led window switch swap.

what number sandpaper did you use?

still up in the air for red or black

id love to do red, just dont know if my red is gonna match the color of my

hood and bumper.... we shall see
