i have to clean my car tonight. got stuck yesterday in a parking lot. mud and soft snow do not go well with a dropped car....wish i had my camera with me!
Relocated horn - just because I could
made some city lights
without headlights
with headlights
Started sanding my RX7 brake calipers. I'm not going to polish them, I just want them to be smooth for when I paint them green*. This is a PITA because of all the nooks and crannies (I love me some Thomas's English Muffins... Don't you?)
and measured "places" for some other mods
*just f'n with you

The Euro spec cars have them from the factory, and yeah I think it's in the high beam assembly.

yeah thats the spot
but you have to get a long bit and drill through the high beam reflector
then I had to get a tiny vacuum to suck out the bits and pieces the fell into the headlight housing
I think they look great but they are a little too bright. think i might put a dimmer in line to slow them down/

What kind of bulbs are you using? My friend has a VW GTI and his are perfect brightness, so ya might wanna just pick up a set of them.
Today I drove my P5 for the first time since Friday. It was painful, but looking outside and seeing the cold, salt, and snow, and then going down into the garage and looking at my perfectly clean Protege that I washed on Thursday when it was 65 or so, told me I was doing the right thing. Luckily the roads are clear and it isn't snowing so maybe I can get it back from class today without it getting too dirty in the process.
Yesterday I installed my Optima red top. Bam, just like that my headlights don't dim anymore. It was getting really bad, and I thought it was just due to the UDP. Now maybe I'll look into a grounding kit, the factory cables going to the battery look really wimpy.

Good lord dude I almost went nuts when I had my head unit out for a week this summer. That's nuts.
I painted all my intake piping today as well as a few other brackets and misc parts in the engine bay. Pic in a minute.
