actually i was watching this new show called Top Shot.... they bring in all these expert shooters and see who's the best. they were using all these old rifles from WWI, WWII, Vietnam & Korean War.
then Pawn Stars came on, i find it to be a good show, the old man is hilarious.

the show i saw last night was when the dad had his son & Chumlee do head to head in a physical competition. he created an obsticle (sp) course for them to go to and the Old Man said "this is going to be funnier than hell"
i almost lost it!

yes sir!, the ZZP pipe comes with T-bolt clamps. And it reuses the stock couplers which also use T-bolt clamps. So I gots T-bolts clamps all around! I am worried that they aren't tight enough though, I tightened till my wrists were bleeding. How tight do these clamps have to be?

You don't want to over-tighten them as it can be just as bad. just tighten them til you have to use your shoulder to push it again, then turn it 1 more half turn and you'll be good.
I've ran 30psi through my turbo and the clamps have held and NEVER popped. I keep a 7/16 and 10" wrench with me in the car just in case though. Haven't needed them yet.

lol, I keep all my tools in the car. I have enough tools to completely strip this car down if need be. 7/16's was a surprise to me though, everything else is metric on the car.
Did you guys see all the info i've posted about the K&N intake in the tech/ general discussion threads? I've made a critical discovery reguarding the positioning of the filter on the intake.

Token..... you've got a few options....
option #1: try to sell the car as is with all the crap on it and let it become someone else's problem.
option #2: put it back to n/a, keep it as a decent DD & build the Civic
option #3: drive the car off a cliff, perferably on 896 in Lancaster, PA
they kept blowing off because the pipes weren't rolled at the ends!
:facepalm:

wet sand them with 1000 grit, then with 1500 grit, then with 2000 grit. finish up with Rain-X headlight restoration kit which comes with 3 polishing pads, lubricant, and a sealant to protect from pitting on your sanded headlights.
If its really bad start wet sanding with 800grit. Use a mixture of soapy water for wet sanding or the lubricant that comes in the restoration kit.

ahhh... okay, I would first try taking the paint off the tail lights with a paint thinner/ Isopropyl alcohol/ nail polish remover/ acetone. Once you get most of it off, and there is still black pitted in the plastic, do the wet sand thing, they will look close to new (well as close as you can get)

wow, noone is givin me a break today, first i get called a ricer because i drive a 4 cylinder and then i get it from here. and no i didnt use super glue, i used hi-temp rtv, big difference. and i used it for a little bit then took it off cause i didnt want any comin off and possibly getting sucked into my engine. and i spray painted cause i wasnt familiar with vht. now that im familiar with it, when i run thru inspection im using it. and did you know they arent failing people anymore for gauge pods?
well i had a 3 gauge pod 2 years ago, they failed me for it. i put my stock pillar back in, they said something about it, i told they moron that it was a stock pillar. old man didn't know what to say.
oh well, i don't like the 3 gauge pillar pod look anyways.
