Re: What did you do to your EF today?
yea i've been pretty impressed with them thus far. they installed a new windshield on my old 1990 si hatch, and it came out really nice. it was nice to have the little blue sun shade bar thingy at the top which was not available oem lol. unfortunately at the time of having that windshield put in, i didnt realize i'd end up junking the car later on. which i did once i found a chassis in much better condition. so basically i spent the money for a new windshield, and a few months later sent the thing to the junkyard.

Re: What did you do to your EF today?
decided that i am 100% going to do the projector retrofit on my head lights. here's why:
light pattern (projector on the left, oem head light on the right):
glare (oem on the left, projector on the right):
i have 12k hid's with stock brights and amber city lights. plus tearing them apart will allow me to clean them off since they are all fogged over from the prev. owner installing the city lights.
got some more of my interior installed tonight. car's comming back together nicely.

Re: What did you do to your EF today?
filled her up with 93 and parked her back in the garage and got on my enduro for a really nice day ride. Later today going up into the mountains and riding the dirt roads and trails.
Tomorrow I'm going to cruse around in my CRX looking for another 8in tire for my trailer.

Re: What did you do to your EF today?
i put a new rear window in my hatch. why? because some *ucking piece of garbage decided to put a golf club through it. its not there in the pics because the cops had been there by the time i took the pics, and they took it as evidence with them. i had glass scattered all throughout the car, like seriously it was over everything. there was even some on the defrost vents underneath the friggin windshield. and apparently i wasn't the only one hit. there were about 15 vehicles reported with broken back windows by about 7:30am this morning. i seriously don't understand how a human being/s can be so stupid and disrespectful.
needless to say i had to spend $200 for a new window, and i'm strapped for funds as it is. my insurance was useless and wouldn't pay for ****. i swear i can't catch a break. i'm just truly disappointed in society as a whole..
here's what it looked like this morning... minus the golf club
and here is it now, after having safelite come out and put a new one in. what a wonderful day its been

i feel your pain bro... a few weeks ago i woke up about 3 am to go to the ******* and i heard a car outside of my apartments so i look outside and i see some ****ing paisas by my car one of the dudes gets out and smashes my rear window!!! **** i throw on my clothes and got my "thang" run downstairs while i'm calling the cops. i'm driving around looking for there *** but they got too much of a head start on me.
I didn't catch them so it pissed me off even more the cops told me to go back to my apt to file the report... so i go back give him my info and what not. He tell me "Stay home don't go out there looking for these guys you never know what they may be carrying or who they are" little does he know i got my "thang" with me too. So i go off on a mission to look for these guys when he left and about a half and hour later of looking i get pulled over for my window, but they just told me to go home. Bad ****ing night. I didn't have $200 to fix my window so i went to the junkyard and pulled one and got the urethane and put it in myself for about $60

Sanded the clear coat off the passenger side of my door and rear quarter, and painted it primer gray. When I get more time and more sandpaper I will sand the whole car down and paint it primer, then paint it red.

Drank way too many Energy Drinks while working on my dizzy. The outcome was priceless!
All I can say is sometimes, one must pay his tribute to enjoyable things like "energy drinks"
