Crazy, today was the most/farthest I've ever gone for any single part. First time up there so it was kinda cool to see the different things.

B-Ham, but that isn't very far...

I almost made it from Seattle to Sacramento and back in a Day, lets just say for the benefit of me and the car I had to stop at 22 hours of driving. Red bull and drugs can only keep you awake for so long.

(PS i dont recommend trying this, im never doing it again, EVER)

6hrs each way or 8hrs if you count being stuck in Vancouver traffic haha

I probably will do that when I get some more things to put in my car... I'd love to do a hidden garage door opener in one of the switches above the head unit as I have two open spots. Just need some switches...

I do have this that I built last night! I hate smoking so I have no use for an ash tray so win-win! (It is the "bass boost" switch for my new amp and Lukebox) Closes just like stock for stock looks!

you oughta use an early model volume switch, they go in those button blanks.

Why the hell would you do that? There better be sex with the hottest girl ever involved or large amounts money.

[crazyman]

^yeah^ +1 on that. Would like to know.

That's a good idea...

Figured I would share since I finally got a good opportunity to take some pictures.

Factory Non-AC Aux Fan Mounting Brackets. Pretty slick if you plan on ditching the mechanical fan.

Had mine hooked up to an on/off switch on high speed. Monitored temps with a Autometer Temp Guage! Worked great.



There is a third "bracket" that attaches to the bottom of the fan. Its a cup that uses one of the rubber pucks. You do need a new puck or at least a new plastic rivet to relocate one of the two that are off center.

Thats not really a "deal" but if your gonna keep the car why not, thats a good lasting engine right there.
