if it pissed you off that 2 people were needed to put on your bumper maybe you should just quit

X2, Ive realized while being in college you need a reliable car, esp if you work. I am going to wait till after college to ---- around with something when I have money

I had this problem, it was the hot wire (a wire to the battery that is always on regardless of whether or not the ignition is on) and there was a fuse on that wire that was blown, replaced it, and then everything worked fine

the engine bay fuses? checked those when i got home from work just now, the big ones looked fine and the other ones were like ECU and heater.. so im pretty sure their fine since both of those work. is it one of those big fuses in the underdash fuse box?

and i don't think the HMT kit weeded me out cuz im weak.. i work 4 days a week, i do not know how to weld NOR do i have one easily accessable to learn how- although i'm very interested in that DIY tig welder and plan on trying it- and for the longest time i couldn't figure out why my vtec didn't work. i tried basically everything except an in-line restrictor to the turbo. also im pretty sure i have leaks in my charge pipes, and the exhaust is pretty restrictive. it also pissed me off that i couldn't fix 2 of the exhaust manifold studs that are stripped out- i was having a bad exhaust leak from those 2 spots

i dont think it was weeding me out, i think the kit was just too ghetto. my next setup is going to be with probably a ssac or cc-fab manifold, external wastegate, and real charge pipes. and i've got a homie willing to trade straight across my CCA FMIC for a fatty Skyline FMIC

and how the ---- cant you get a radio to work? its just 1 12 volt power source. theres one wire thats hto for memory but you dont NEED to hook it up, an illumination light that just shows it resistance so it knows to dim if your dash lights are dim and to dim the face. other than that its a ground and your speakers. not really complicated there, hoss. to get your exaust stud out either get some easy outs or, theres these craftsman plyers with teeth that go in opisate directions on each side . ive used those before and they work pretty good. dash light? you probably just burnt a light out. And who cares about the clock?
