    They’re here! Just need to figure out where to mount everything as far as the ballasts and relays. Anyone have any pics of their setup?

    Hey y'all, got my projectors successfully installed in the car. I'm in love already. Kevin does great work; I called him once I got 'em working and he helped me aim them. I think I'll have to do some minor adjustments down the road (hah) but so far they work (and look) great!

    Oh I do, but I’m not willing to spend the time or money. Truth is I lost interest in this car years ago. 6 speed certainly helped 7 1/2 years ago, two years later the power increase was great but it really never outweighed the cost and headaches associated. Besides the two diffs this year I will say it’s been nothing but trouble free. I think I just over did my effort and I’m just not feeling it anymore.

    I’ll more than likely just throw in another one out of warranty and get rid of it in the spring. Someone else can easily take it to the next level if they so those.

    LED headlight bulbs GTR 2.0 Ultra from Panther lights

    Installed the GTR 2.0 Ultra headlight bulbs today I got from Panther lights. See pics below, the pics with the fog lights are the Morimoto Fog lights from Panther lights also. I took a picture with only 1 bulb replaced so you can see the difference, the passenger bulb was a phillips extreme or similar one I had put in.

    Updated with more pics, all I can say is WOW!!!! These are brighter than I thought they were going to be

    So, um, yeaaah...

    A week ago brake light comes on in my mother's car (2001 Honda civic); I pop hood and notice fluid is low, so go buy some brake fluid and top it off. After 2-3 days the light is still on (she doesn't drive it every day), notice fresh fluid spots on garage floor so something is leaking; make an appointment to have car looked at today. I follow her to shop; notice the 3rd brake light isn't working on the way. After giving the mechanic the key and explanation of what is wrong/needs attention, we get in my car to go home...my car won't start. It turns over, but is not getting fuel...suspect fuel pump crapped out right at that moment. So, go back inside garage and give them the key to MY car and get the key back to my mother's car, leave MY car at garage and come home in my mother's car...like, really?

    You should have pounded on the Marauder's fuel tank while cycling the ignition key 'ON' & 'OFF'.
    Sometimes that will get the fuel pump to run again.
    I had this problem with my infrequently driven Marauder.
    Occasionally, with NO warning, it would stop running....WTF!?
    Bang on fuel tank...Vrooom!
