No worries. And it does take some confidence in your self to do it lmao
Righteous dude. Yeah, like I said, if you don't have the confidence to do it, then I suggest just not.
Bit of an update on the key-ar. So i got some washers, popped them on the 2 lower stub-axle bolts behind the drum/hub assy. and now my dash is lit up like a Christmas Tree. UO155 and UO 121/2 (can't remember which one it is). Traction Control light's on, and kicks in while I'm driving at 40km/h for a little bit, then after a couple mins TC turns off, but the whole system is down. ABS light's on as well.
2 things could've happened during install of the washers:
1. When I moved the drum assy. away and to the right to get the washers on the stub-axle bolts, something came loose/off, and now that messed with the cicuit and ABS/TC are messed now.
2. With having the washers there, it misaligns the sensor.. maybe putting it out of it's range or something, meaning the same conclusion as 1.
I HOPE to jack up the car tomorrow, and see what's good under there.
What's your opinion, everyone?

Well, I know exactly what I did, so I know exactly where to look to see what happened. I'm probably gonna reverse what I did until this weekend.. only time I'm free in the coming days.
And I'm getting more shifts at work, and getting more business.. more low coming sooner than I thought

Alright little bit of an update:
First of all.. gotta fix my passenger side headlight. Got some condensation in it after blasting it (by accident) at the self-service car wash. Easy fix.. will post up the process when I do it.
Fog lights will be done by next week (March break for me.. wheeww free week!!). Been too busy to crack them, but they are ready to be tossed in the oven.
* Added: Do some cutting on the inner fender/bumper bracket.. need to clearance it so my sidewalls don't rub when turning.
Gonna be buying 700 lbs/in front springs, and 550 lbs/in rear springs! :O. More low and stiffness, here I come! Yes, it'll be a ridiculous ride
If I get the chance, gonna try to respray my tailights. I'll TRY (since I'm bad at taking pics while I work) to document how it's done, and post it up for the parties who are interested.
Another "If I get the chance".. gonna try to refinish the lips on my ASA's.
Now.. it's off to work..

Nice build! I should soon be posting my build thread. It's time for me to come out of the dark and show everyone my Mazda 2. BTW 15x10's on a Mazda 2? That would be sick!!!!

Basically, I had a March Break.. ended up being that I was just as busy, if not more busy, than I was before. I did also buy OEM tweeters for my car, and will be custom fitting them to my OEM panels. When that'll happen.. who knows. I literally don't have a day off in a regular week.
That'll be cool! Seems like you have a lot of shtuff done to your car. To be honest, I don't know if 15x10's will happen this year, but they will happen on this car while I own it

So I went out today to snap some pics of my car, but with the amount of pics I took, the one's that actually came out nice are very limited.. so there are limited angles of my car in these pics, but I generally like the way the car photographed in them. Here they are.. First real pics of how my car's starting off 2013:

Lol.. I got fender ******, so I thought I may as well cover up some of the duttyness with some steekors. Plus, I got stickers that either fit my car, or are "inside jokes" with my friends.
Exhibit A:

The stickers kind of look like a shark in one of those pics. Good s***, currently saving for a set of prokits.

I wanna get new fenders too, unpainted, so I can actually do the work I need to do on them properly, then paint them after. Surprisingly, fenders from the dealer, unpainted, are fairly cheap... at least up here. $125 a pop.. I was thinking it was gonna be closer to $200
