Default Couple mods and a fix...

Ok well today I didn't have much planned so I decided to fix some stuff that was botherin me... and here a few pics... and I know the interior is dirty so dont burn me over it

Decided to take the side moulding off and I like it!


Went to the hoda dealership and picked up a push button ign, I got lucky as hell they had one left and it was on its way to be shipped out as I got there the insall went well until the end when the damn car wouldnt start up, the relay was wired correctly and I could understand what was wrong...until 20mins later I woke up and realized the clutch needs to be in to start her. also threw in a new Head Unit, pretty cool panasonic one. Now I'm just waitin on my new HUmount piece.



Then moved on and took the window motor out and replaced it with a new napa one, install was smooth except for my skin after takin a 1/2" bit to the sheetmetal fibre, stupid me... the new motor is quicker than stock but a little noiser too just to let you guys know if your going with a new motor also gonna need to get #8x 3/8-1/2" screws and correspondin nuts...there's the old motor it's been givin me problms for a while now.



also had a DRL out and poped a new one in and man that soket was SOAKED!! I know I'm going to have to replace it soon but for now a new bulb works fine.

As of now no it doesn't, but that cuz I purposly did it that way, all you would have to do is tap in the 12v yellow wire with one going to the relay, where as I just snipped the yellow and ran it drect to the relay and capped off the other end...your choice tho, in all honesty it would probly b smarter to have both just incase a wire comes loose or somethin

Its funny that you went through all that trouble to host a pic of how much you hate the window motor.

not only did your window not work, but you were taking them to the drive-up window of mickey d's for a date. yep, that's an embarassment to say the least.
