Now that I think about it, getting a new radiator just before Summer is awesome. The old one really was very clogged with bugs.

They will most likely shoot it with a "bug gun" just before the paint dries -

I built a 0.3 cubic foot box for a 6" lanzar woofer. And used a small pioneer amp from a TS WX50 to power it. It sounds much better than just the four 4" speakers. (I took out the amp that was powering the door speakers recently, I also took out the door speakers... )

Edit:pic... (Oh crap! No!!! Not that ugly pic!!!!)

The box fits in the middle of my "spare" 18x8 wheel. I have it strapped to the middle with a ratchet strap. It's ugly, but functional.

I am going to make a different box, for a different sub. (one thats dvc)

I could build you a custom box w/amp. Would be a fun project to work on.
My woodworking shop is decent.

I want to make a small box with this sub next. It's a bit more than I normally like to spend, but the specs look great.

The key fob has been slowly dying so I replaced the key fob battery today. Looked on the forum, saw that the battery should be a CR1632, bought one, and when I got the key open I found that was definitely incorrect. Must have misread or something, not really sure what happened there...

Anyway, the lettering on the inside of the fob said CR2016 was the correct one, but the battery that was installed was a CR2025.

I returned the 1632, bought a 2016 and installed it. The key works fine now so problem solved I guess but a confusing experience nonetheless lol.

Took the engine and transmission out after blowing the auto tranny in my FRS. We (East End Raceshop & staff) are going to swap in a 2JZGE engine and a manual transmission. Should I start a build thread?

85k miles on the transmission. The car was in 3rd gear in manual mode and just stopped shifting completely while driving down Angeles Crest Highway. After parking on the side of the road it had a lot of ATF leaking.

Build thread coming soon!
