Yeah man, that's the plan. Tracking numbers normally go live around midnight assuming i don't miss a digit typing it into the PM.

DDM 5k HIDs. Spent the past few days trying to figure out the H4/9003 bulb system. Finally got a FAQ from Jull Cars - S14 Tech Guides | Jull Cars that shows exaclty what to remove(the headlight) to gain easy access. i tried everything to get to the plug and it wouldnt budge. my hands got all scraped up too. :( (trying to cram my long ass finger behind the headlight..before the FAQ) so im going to try this again, and hopefully it works!

Y halo thar cams! took a while to igure out which one was which (i got the PM steve) bt before i got that, i looked at a ton of sites, and found the dowel pin by accident (was looking at this indent in the cam near the sprockets...shined a flashlight in there..and VOILA..hai dowel pin! and the first lobe lines up with the pin (intake) while the other one (the one with the cut steve) had the lobe roughly 90* to the right of the pin (exhaust) according to http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/9/14/217176/intake and exhaust cams.bmp pic. i marked em with sharpies to be sure.

general engine bay pic. i want to paint the VC with the same flat black engine paint that i used on the intake and the muffler. Its really low key, and has zero shine. I dont want to be flashy.

i wonder if its possible to spray the spark plug wires with some generic flat black paint? would it harm them? i really dislike the blue color.

Clean shit, i like what you've done so far, but seriously, xnay on the hids unless you throw in projectors. Unless you wanna blind oncoming traffic like blackzenki.....

That would be fail but otherwise WIN!

lol i already put them in. the cutoff is actually pretty decent. No blinding of oncoming traffic at all. i want to get that 3M shiz to make them sexy again. might improve the cutoff a little more. when i remember, ill take a few pics and maybe a running vid to show that it does not glare on coming traffic. Besides the usual light bleeding around the cutoff, its nothing crazy. Probably because of my dirty headlights.

So is it an H4 Base bulb or a D2S Bulb in a H4 Adapter?
Click to expand...
After doing some research (didnt know what a d2s bulb looked like) it is in fact a D2S bulb with a H4 adapter.

- have exhaust re-welded (its crooked from fixing the piping the proper way)
- 25% tint

MR Springs? Damn son, what happen to the 1-2 finger Gap? lol that 1.75" drop is tuckin, especially the rear lol. Not only that but I think there a tad too stiff for your struts lol

But there are one of the cheaper choices...
