but these three joined to win a ring so hope that same goal works out for miami. its going to be interesting season with all the big players switching teams. also hoping that oden doesn't break anything this year

clee109

so we took off to the beach on Tuesday and got back today. However; this story starts the day we left. Have the TSX all packed up and ready to go, try to fire her up, dead f'in battery. Can you believe that? Scratched in the Ikea parking lot, then dead battery, wtf? lol The car gods were not smiling upon me

bluecarbonfiber

hookers and all =)

ya i think this year is the make it or break it for oden.. lamarcus has to step up and be a man too

man that sucks.. sometimes i forget heat is just as bad as winter on a battery.. did you upgrade your battery? or just recharge it?

were you still on oem battery? if it was, that thing lasted damn long time.

bluecarbonfiber

posted a few pics of the meet.. its not great but it give the idea of who was there

clee109

Still OEM, so yeah a good 4.5 years of use aint bad for a battery really.

bluecarbonfiber

4.5 is not bad at all.. suprised it would last that long..

clee109

spotted 2G SSM TL lowered, crater lake plates, nice stance, exhaust, hwy 26 west bound around 12:20pm exiting on Cornelius Pass Road north. Anyone here?

bluecarbonfiber

slow times in here again.. any one taking on a project??

I just finished my puddle lights install

bluecarbonfiber

puddle lights? is that code for neon light under the car? got pictures of it?

clee109

^^ jdm code

mdkxtreme

Yea kinda like neon lights, but it's circle LED lights. Taking pictures tonight. I actually don't like the output of the ones I bought from autoillumination so I bought another more expensive set. I will have to wait till I get back to Cali to install the new set.

I added a switch to it so that I can either have it all off, on all the time, or only on when the interior lights or on.

So if you guys ever want to do puddle lights, don't buy the ones on autoillumination. That was a bad $40 mistake.....

mdkxtreme

Here they are. I'm not satisfied with the light output, the light pattern (not big enough circle), and not sitting flush with the side skirt. I knew that when I bought these it wouldn't sit flush. But I didn't know it would stick out that much when standing at a distant.

It looks a bit blueish in the pictures but it's white.

bluecarbonfiber

not bad.. its bright =)

ABP1TSX

I have seen those before and still dont know what to think about them. On one hand i like the function of them and on the other i dont like the spotlights. All good if you like it tho.

Btw what spoiler do you have? on some of your other pics i thought it was the generic ebay one but these show otherwise. Spoom?

mdkxtreme

Yup I was weary about installing these too. So adding a switch to it gave me a piece of mind since I can always turn them off completely.

It's the Fast Line Performance (FLP) Rear Decklid from Heeltoe. Pretty expensive but looks really good. Quality and fitment is really good also.

bluecarbonfiber

i can vouch the spoiler looks great in person!!

ABP1TSX

The FLP spoiler looks good. I was debating wether i wanted it in fiberglass but i have one that the ol lady bought for me on xmas i want to try out first.



BTW anyone happen to see a dead fox or cayote on 217 north today? LOL i took it out with the tsx this morning on my way to work. Got fur and blood all over my front rim.

bluecarbonfiber

damn, that sucks.. you make sure there isnt damage anywere else? my bro took out a huge possum on cornelius pass in his passat once and fawked up the radiator and front bumper..

ABP1TSX

Not so bad after i took it home and did a closer inspection. There was fur and blood splat on the driver side of the bumper. Knocked out the fog light shrowd and duct. Couple of broken tabs and clips. Took off the front bumper realigned it all up and put in some new clips and its all good. Got some scuffing on the clear bra but no damage to the paint. . The gross part was when i was spraying off the wheel, there was somes large chunks of skin/fur/bone fragments inside the open lug holes and ends that i had to use a small brush to get out.

clee109

nasty... I dunno if I feel bad for your car or the animal more... Probably the animal?

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

didn't you have to clean off the dead rat in the engine bay last time?

bluecarbonfiber

^ ha i think i remember that!

ABP1TSX

Yeap that was me and the engine bay. The tsx has not been so animal friendly to me but thats probably cause i dont swerve out of the way.
I did slow down as much i possibly could (35-40mph?)but still hit the thing.
Direct center hit probably would have kill the front bumper and more.

clee109

Cleaning out the rest of the third bedroom now for the baby and I still have my Olympus E500 DSLR. Yes, that's the one that got knocked over at work. Anyways, I am not sure what's all damaged with it, if it's the lens or the lens and body... Anyways I want to get rid of it and I'm going to take it to Goodwill this weekend unless one of you wants it? So if anyone wants it speak now and we'll set up a pick up time, if not it goes to good will tomorrow.

clee109

Ohh and I have a desk lamp and some PC parts, so motherboard, intel P4, ADI graphics card, 4 gigs ram, ATX tower. If you want that let me know or it's gone. Ok bye

bluecarbonfiber

bluecarbonfiber

Anyone want a bandpass sub box for a 10"? its free... Let me know

bluecarbonfiber

slow times lately.. been scoping out a new gun online.. thinking i might get either the mac10 .45 cal or the m11 9mm.. both are about the same price.. only thing i like alittle more is the 9mm is easier to come by then the .45 and the prices are cheaper

mdkxtreme
