Default another reason to hate crimps

driving around for god knows how long with no Vtec and having your car tuned without knowing.

$100's in tuning down the drain for the sake of a $0.10 piece of crap

*note to self: solder every connection.

ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

I never had a problem with crimps though, whenever its not a big wiring project i use crimps, if its something big ill bust out the sodering gun.

Yep I know how you feel. Happened to me a while back. The best thing to do is learn from it and solder everything from now on. Besides, solder and heat shrinking tubes makes the wire look a little nicer.

When you solder you have to always remember to wrap it in electrical tape or else if it touches metal your basically fucked.

i use crimps, and then wrap everything in electrical tape just to be safe. I should probably invest in a soldering gun.
