I just finished opening up my headlights...wasn't too bad. Worst part was i thought I stripped a screw on the ballast lol.

Hope to finish and have pics by end of the weekend...have lots of people coming to visit the baby over next 2 days :)

Good luck! I'm not really scared of opening my headlights (sometimes I don't know when I should be scared of a project), it's the wiring that scares me. If it starts messing up 6 months down the road I will be pissed.

Hey, Mr. Alcheng :tiphat:

Saturday is a good one after a week out of town. Thinking about shopping for a Juke tomorrow, maybe, for the Mrs.

happytheman 03-03-2012 02:02 PM

Hey guys! Sorry I've been kinda silent over the last couple of days. It's been pretty busy at work and by the time I've gotten home I just want to relax with my lovely wife, eat some dinner and enjoy an adult beverage! :)

I've been pretty unhappy since I realized that I have a monstrous chip on the hood of my car, so today I'm going to pull the trigger on Dr. Colorchip. I just feel like I'm going to :barf: every time I look at it. I'm pretty nervous to try these types of solutions, but I figure....it can't look any worse than bare metal. :confused:

Boost - Congrats on the new exhaust! What kind did you get?

Mr. Onzedge - Welcome home! I'm sure the Mrs. is glad to have you back! My wife LOVES the Juke and would love to have it as a DD, using the Xterra only as needed.

Fire - I'm sorry to hear about the long shift! You're a firefighter, right? There's always a chance you won't get called out, right? :)

How much I paid last night?? $90ish for 64ltrs. :ugh2:

You guys feel better now?? :icon18:

I'm little busy in the store today, selling lots of eyeglasses, LOL

My Z got all dirty by the rain last night :shakes head:, need to have it dry-clean :icon17:

happytheman 03-03-2012 02:11 PM

Im all right. Thinking about getting off my lazy butt and going out to wash her down in preparation for movie nite with the little lady. :tup:

kenchan 03-03-2012 02:15 PM

happy sat, everyone! :tup:

no car action today... been busy doing kid's pta stuff and running errands... picked up a cool computer speaker at target. :p it's this logitec one that hangs on the backside of my mbp's screen. sounds very good for wat it is. :D

happytheman 03-03-2012 02:27 PM

Ken, I picked up one of these for use with my iPhone, and find the sound to be so amazing that I use it for my laptop as well! It has a rechargeable lithium ion battery and comes in a soft bag (similar to what Oakleys come in).

Boost_lee 03-03-2012 02:32 PM

I've tried the Dr colorchip system with good results. I highly doubt you'll :barf: happytheman

I pulled the trigger on the Motordyne exhaust :tup:

Gauge 03-03-2012 02:38 PM

So you guys have good results with dr colorchip

Oh sweet, thanks for the input, especially considering you've got the Montery Blue! RAE is the paint code, right?

Ooooh, motordyyyyyynnneeee! Nice! :tup:

Boost_lee 03-03-2012 02:56 PM

yep, correct code. Easy to remember for me...MonterRAE Blue :D

Yea, and my current exhaust is already off the car. So we I drive there, I'm going with open ART pipes :D so loud

Maybe, but what is a litre? why do I think I need to find an old math book to decipher? :confused:

Ok so if Alcheng paid $1.42/ltr and there are 3.79 litres in 1 gallon what is that price per gallon??

Is the answer $5.38???

I dont remember...if you can order direct from them, I think thats what I did.
I got a set for mine and a set for a black (OBP) STi and they were both great. Only thing is that you'll get swirls after using it on black, but nothing that a light swirl remover cant handle by hand.

Cool thanks! :tup:

Just stepped out two minutes and thirty seconds ago (the additional 30 secs was to wash the oil off my hands) and swapped out my stock filters for K&N drop-ins. Easiest two minute upgrade I've ever done. :excited:

Now what to do with the stickers.....? Maybe I'll put 'em on my laptop.

Not bad for ~$80 as I recall!

kenchan 03-03-2012 03:31 PM

mr.happy- that a cool looking speaker you got there! :D almost looks like a car freshner thingie.

mr.gurney-car's looking good. :tup:

happytheman 03-03-2012 03:36 PM

It not only looks cool, it sounds amazing for its compact size. Head to your nearest Bed Bath and Beyond out there in the middle part of the US and they should have one on display for you to listen to.

Dyno your Z before and after the stickers... :bowrofl:

happytheman 03-03-2012 06:15 PM

First impression: Is it strange that my exhaust sounds quieter now that I have the K&N drop-ins in place? I think I must be going crazy. Anybody have a similar experience?

Hey guys,

Just walked in the door! Guess what came in?? PWJDM V2 Shiftknob! Wooooooo

Curious to ask you guys... How many o rings is it supposed to come with? There's only 1...

mantella87 03-03-2012 08:51 PM

ARK exhaust installed today! Had it installed professionally. The packaging was excellent. Fitment was a little rough. Overall, VERY satisfied. It sounds and looks awesome.
