yea.. usually ppl park alongside each others chassis code.. that was lacking on this meet. that brought the meet down a lot.. made it feel like a regular meet. i know wat u mean about sedans only, but the turnout would not be successful.

I'm really pleased with how it came out.

this looks really good. however i would only use this on a track car. i suggest u at least look into a battery kill switch. someone WILL f*** around with it and it can be very dangerous. just spend the little bit of extra money and get the kill swtich

Looks really good man.

Alright Moose, i did some searching around and found you want to put at least a 80 amp fuse inline with the B+ cable close to the battery, i also found alot of people with Hondas are also running 100 amp fuses but 80 amp should be sufficient since that's what your starter fuse is rated at. you can also install a circuit breaker which is essentially a resettable fuse. another option is to have a kill switch for either leg of your circuit, either the one going to the rear, or the one going to the starter however using fuse in addition is also recommended. price appears to be anywhere from around 7 bucks to 50 bucks here are a couple of links that i hope you find useful.

x2, stick a screwdriver in there or use your hands if it's cold and pull on the heat shield back away from the rotor. it could also possibly just be the sound of the pads dragging on the rotors, when you depress the brakes does the noise go away?

man stuffing all this padding under the interior panels and getting em to fit nice and tight is really hard! been working on it for over an hour and only got the drivers side done

. cleaning as i go along... but still

, im sweating! heh
