    I just did some simple stuff today. One thing I did was wire in the HID fogs.

    I screwed up, but in a kind cool way. I wasn't intending for them to do this - but it happened anyways. I guess I accidently tapped into the running lights for the power. I didn't notice it until it was dark and I hit the unlock on my clicker and my whole yard lit up pink lol

    Thanks Brandon for the parts. Finally got my right side mirror back on again (well... missing 2 of 4 screws). Sorry couldn't stay longer, but looking forward to the next get together.

    it's not the bulbs I'd be worried about. It's the ballasts. But those are getting cheaper in price too...

    We left around 8:30.
    They were trying to figure out why the AP wasn't letting her use the map from her previous STi.
    Fixed it and it ran well.

    I was just about to hit 400N from 285W and I noticed the silver bugeye on the side. Pulled over to see if he needed any help.

    I'm still trying to decide what I'm going to do with the car. I might do a whole different dp/up/turbo, bigger injectors, re-work the heads, and shoot for 400awhp....or I might just do a 2.5 swap. I dunno yet.

    I will keep you in mind if I do wind up getting rid of it


    I might. What car was it? What did it look like.

    That was me man, sorry I didn't introduce myself, my mind was in 15 different places and just happened to overhear the badge and knew I had the one I took off my car still. Was doing nothing but collect dust on top of my box so I figured you could get more use out of it.

    Note: These aren't all of the pictures that I took.
    They're the only ones I think are worth posting, other than the set of shots I took of Sam's car as it progressed through the evening.

    Its cool. You seemed like you were rushing to do something. It will have a good home on the back of my car replacing the old worn out ugly one thats currently on there.

    I'm going to play around with the old crappy one to see if I can figure out how to change its colors since its about garbage anyways....i can't hurt it much more then it already is haha

    Yeah I played around with a stock Subaru grill badge to change background color but I'm not sure how it would work on the "i" badge. Let me know how it turns out.

    Old junk badge as it sits now. I've been working on getting all the pink / silver out of it. What a pain in the ass lol

    Ah. Nevermind then.
    That's what some people did for their Mazda emblems to get rid of the polished silver.
    But they don't have to worry about ruining the clear plastic.

    If only I could find my fine grit sandpaper lol

    I'm surprised that I haven't either cut a finger open or broken the badge yet haha

    Just because your mom uses it for the skid marks you leave does not mean that it will remove paint.

    Simple lacquer thinner on a paper towel will do the trick. Keep flipping the folds of the towel to pull the paint up. Damp towel by the way, not dripping wet.

    Who in the Hell is that fat douche on the left? Apparently y'all have no standards and will just let anybody wander onto the lot.

    Still, was a good time, and it was good to meet so many of you.

    too late, dragging a blade across it just scratched the hell out of the plastic.

    I don't have thinner, and the blade is actually working out pretty good. Not leaving any scratches that I can see....I'm not putting a lot of pressure on it
