Drug screen and background mainly or driving record.
Yeah my job is performed on drilling rigs. We cement casing in the well after they drill the holes. Rain, snow or 115 whenever they are ready.
CL - I am not gonna go A-spec. Thanks

5K on pass side 6k on driver side LED DRL
With switchbacks 5k
5k Hid with 5k switchbacks
5k HID 5k switchbacks with 3k fogs
I also put in LED rear turns and did not add the .24 resistor and they work fine. Will see if it affects the switchbacks that after running for a while seem to blink a quick white between ambers. They are the type 2's so that shouldn't happen.
I am running the .12 resistor in the relay. Will see but as of first test no hyper-flashing.
Also the pics are not the best but the 5k seem to really blend well with the switchbacks. I kinda liked the bluer 6k's during the day with no parking lights but as far as uniformity the 5k's are much better.
Plus one of the 6ks broke when trying to put the connector on it so I wanted to replace it anyway.
Enjoy.

Those wheels really do your car justice

Thanks Steven.
Need to wax those tomorrow and juice up the tires yet.
If it doesn't rain tomorrow then Beach shots will be coming. Really need to figure this T3i out better.

Update:
ISC N1's installed and mostly dialed in. Pass side sitting at 24 3/4 ground to fender and Driver side sitting at 24 7/8 to account for driver weight.
Fr at 20 Rear at 23 so far on dampening
When the car is jacked up the springs are kinda loose, but they assured me the spring load was preset. It is only maybe 3/16 loose but I haven't taken slack up yet. Doing research.
About to install my rear ingalls toe / camber kit today so hopefully I can find an alignment place to accomodate a lowered vehicle.
Also ordered 62a xclr8 motor mounts and the torque dampener. Hopefully that will stiffen up the front.
Also going to move my RSB endlinks to the stiffer hole.
Will be getting some pictures soon. Getting ready to make a road trip in December to maybe San Antone, definately Houston, Florida to see the parents and maybe back through Mississippi on the way back through. Gonna try and meet up with some A-zine folks.

Having a bitch of a time getting the toe body bolt out to replace toe bar.
I really hope I don't have to cut it out mainly because I don't want to have to wait for another bolt and nut to come in the mail.

Always a good day when this happens. And I broke a vein in my pinky.
Figured I would polish these since I needed the room and had to readjust my pipes. They were uneven sticking out the back.
Seems all my cars spend most of their time like this:
Brakemotive's holding strong with no rust. ISC FTW
Moar low:
Cutting toe bolts FTMFL

I am sure you have done some other mods that would be worthy of a build thread.
I usually forget or just straight don't take pics when I do stuff to my car.
Thats why its usually a before after and not during pic.

Looks good, Saucey (what's your real name? )
Can't wait to see how much you've lowered it.

Well got the toe links out with minimal damage to car. Couple scuffs here and there.
Just have to wait on new bolts and nuts from Delray. Been polishing my mufflers while waiting on compressor to keep up.
Hopefully motor mounts will get here before next weekend also.
I took some pictures but ya'll don't get them yet.

Just finished my armrest re-padding job as found here:
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-problems-fixes-114/diy-flaccid-armrest-cushion-replacement-640667/
Will have pictures up tomorrow. So far liking it. It was messier glueing back on then taking off and cleaning.
