ijdmtoy, splurged for the DRL harness because I've been waiting for a sale in forever. They had 15% off for veterans.

Ouch.


Why you no just use a Morimoto relay harness? I've found the ijdmtoy one is not that great quality. Did it come with a pair of load resistors too?

oddly enough, I'm not sure when that bracket specifically broke, but I do remember hearing a fairly loud, metallic, PAANG sound coming from the back... I thought I just drove over some road debris that hit the underside of the car.

The more you know...

I don't even think it's the salt. We do use salt here in the winter, but not nearly as much as is used in eastern Canada. I think it was more related to driving over speed bumps, etc., unevenly until the bracket gave out. Many times it wasn't even by choice and being forced to go over something at an angle. I think lifting the back end of the car didn't help either. I mean, I wasn't going to have someone help me do both sides, equally, at the same time, or do 1 inch at a time on each side. fagettaboutit.

Also, didn't you have an issue with the subframe tearing?

Thanks! I'm not trying to do anything amazing really, just working on lifestyle design. Currently researching where to incorporate an LLC. Might become a vendor around these parts at some point.

Well, especially since you're not a dickhead and we'll all help you out and promote it!
What we sellin'?

PS, it was more about the way Justin gives encouragement and less about Vlad's special needs.

Yeah, the way Justin encourages special needs. Don't worry, I'm not offended by the truth.

Thanks! I try hard not to be a dickhead.

Well I have at least 5 products that I need to design first. They're not complicated and there's clearly a market for them around here. Some are machined parts, some are electronic mods/harnesses etc. My goal is to have the company incorporated, and purchase a domain within two weeks. Then I'll design and debug one of the products, make a web site, and then become a vendor here.

Lol bruh it's not going to be my main paper chase. Just an exploratory business venture that I plan on learning from. I'm keeping my day job for now. And not just 3G TL. Any car and any bike. I'll just start here because it's what I know.

Here lies Vlad, poor as fuck and starved to death. Because he made parts for a platform no one cared for. Except the 3 guys who bought his parts, stole the design and put it towards much better platforms like the Corvette or miata, which have many thousands of modders.

Yes. I was not aware TRS offered harnesses. A bit late for that now. It's cheaper.

I'd rather have a bunch of small mods than wait 2 years to be able to afford a jpipe though. But that's my opinion, yours may vary.

My maintenance is mostly up to date, I got bushings to do at some point and 105k lining up next year.

Actually, I think the fact that Bruce has been successful and even cumswallowbreath show that there's still a market out there. JNC backed off a bit, it seems because barely profit for the effort and dealing with morons.

Check the FB pages...there are people with money to burn. Plus, he already told us he ain't gearing it toward 3G alone and I would be shocked if it cost him a ton out of pocket to get started.
