33k.

We don't get any snow here, so salt isn't a problem, mostly rocks.

He was scared like a wee school boy sneaking a look at pron for the first time, as you can tell by the double take lookout maneuver he pulled before the rev.

so, you want to swap the inferior gauge cluster into your car?

the neatest thing I love about the 2nd gen TSX is the floating needle.

I once asked how the needle worked,

I didn't want to spend that much. Plus mine works how I want it to right now with the nav/backup cam so I am happy.

For those who put LEDs in the rear reflectors which LED strips did you buy? I tried to use a strand of white i had laying around but it's too thick apparently.

I was next to a Saleen S7 on the feeder road when leaving from c&c today. And the TSX doesn't keep up with the McLaren MP4 very well either (I'll post a video soon)

Saw today: Ferrari Enzo/F40/F50/288 GTO/458 GT2/F1 Car, Bugatti Veyron, Saleen S7, SLS Black Series, every modern Ferrari/Lamborghini/Porsche/McLaren, some of the sickest RX7s & NSXs, close to 1000 cars total, with literally everything.

Houston is great

I made my own strip. A lot of soldering and time. I wish they were brighter but the reflector isn't a good lens for the LEDs and disperses the light weirdly. They are 5050 red leds. I'd really like to have some super bright ones with heat sinks on them but they wouldn't be able to as close together.

Go to radiantz
Look for flexible strips.
They have few different sizes.
Buy one stip cut it in half

They even sell a wiring thing that will make it dual

Mannnnnn I wish I could go to C&C!! You will see cars there that you just won't anywhere else.. The first ever Subaru brz on the U.S. streets was at C&C and already all modded out by greddy as a tester.. Seeing as I live in Florida though it's not exactly close
