HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

o.k., i know many of you have got or are waiting on hmt decals, now the only question is, how do i install it? well, i installed mine this weekend and documented it to help you guys out. enjoy.


it all starts with a dream............
then after waiting about 3 mos., you should recieve a little pacage like this from onyx.....

so, you're going to want to open the package and check the contents, along with the decal, other tools needed will be: windex (generic), a paper towel (or news paper), your actual decal, and, if you're south of virginia, a good ol' 'peeeeeeeeeeench' of some skoal.

o.k., before you start anything, you need to figure out where you want it, this is detrimental to your status at hmt, i've seen people get banned for putting their decal in the wrong place. the preferred location is in the lower left corner of your rear side window, on the black part of the window, NO HIGHER! if you have a sedan, eat a dick, you're fucked.

you're then going to want to prep the surface by cleaning it with the windex that you should already have handy.

next, you want to carefully pull the backing off the decal and get it ready to install. this can be a bit confusing, but just remember, you're half way done (don't peel the individual letters off, just one side of the tape ;))......

o.k., now you're going to place the sticker as straight as possible in the desired location that should have already been cleaned........

after rubbing/pressing it religiously as to ensure it stays on 43vAr, you carefully pull the front tape off of the sticker.........

now, you are completely finished, and this is what it should look like. if you messed it up somehow, don't tell anyone, just make another donation, and secretly contact onxy and tell him you need another one, then wait 3 more mos. and try again.....
http://home.comcast.net/~homemadeturbo/s8.jpg



and finally, take her out for a test drive. i suggest not putting your decal on until you actually have a 'Home Made Turbo', the birds call you out if you're faking the funk and hate all over your car..........

the end, i hope this is helpful to others who may be looking at their decal every day wondering "i wish i knew how to install this thing".

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up*

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up*
 

You lose 4 pimp points. I suggest getting a bright red glossy SHIRT. Mayhaps even a pink one. ;)

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up*
 

Wow, thanks for the write-up. In the 3 months I was waiting for my sticker I did several google searches and found nothing on how to install my sticker. Thia really helped. :)

I really did feel a power increase. Not so much on the low end, but more on the top end. It realy helps. :)

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

kevin did you get before and after dyno charts?

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

yes, but the power it added was too much for the dyno to register, so i figured they were irrelevant.

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

Awesome! I have 2 stickers to put on, so I may need to upgrade to a stage 12 clutch to handle all of the added p0w3r. I hope I don't rip the wheels right off of my car. ;D Oh, and nice silk shirt, fag. :-X









I know, its a jacket but it looks like a shirt.

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

IT'S A ------- WIND BREAKER :P

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

No, thats definitly a silk shirt, but nice try, homo. :P

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

You know after putting my stickers on no one every wanted to race me....actually I've only had a few people ever try even before that so I dont know what the deal is....

Fear the HMT Sticker!

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

they just see the word 'turbo' and get skeered. i actually had a guy pull up to me the other day, he was in a newer ex with a fart can and we were at the light, and he was like "let me hear it.....", i knew what he was talking about, but i played dumb "hear what?", "your turbo man", "actually man, i don't even have it on right now, it's getting a rebuild" :P

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

Jaja you ricer ;D, it's getting rebuilt right now ::) ::)

I get a lot of people like that, they pull up next to me at a light or something and ask me to rev up the car, last week I can think of 4 times. It's always fun, but my WRX isn't really that fast, people just think it is.

YO YO Would it be stupid to reprezents HMT on the WRX. I mean a HMT sticker in my WRX. I've been thinking about it, donating more to get another one, for the WRX ::) ::)

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

nah you're wrx should get a FMT sticker. (Factory made turbo..) :P

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

just make one thing turbo related cheaply, like a home depot mbc or something. you should up the boost anyways ;D then you could sport the hmt sticker, but what do i know, i'm sportin one without a turbo :-\

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

Well I've been thinking of buying a CCA intercooler, and make my own pipes, to put a nice FMIC in there, then I can up the boost a little more. I don't feel like spending $1800 on a FMIC kit. I'm going to follow your lead and try to make them for the civic first. practice my welding on the hatch's pipes, then when I get the hang of it, do the WRX and I can officially have something HMT on the car.

By the way, where did can you get the little ball bearing thingy for an MBC? I bought all the parts for it, but could find the steel ball. Finally I remember that spray paint has little steel balls in there, but the one I opened was too big and did not fit in the copper fittings.

Damn Now I'm stealing your thread!!!SORRY

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

if you wanna be able to move it a little, put down some soapy water first, that way if you mess up its ok for a sec

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

i'll make your pipes when i'm down there ;D i didn't make a mbc, so i don't know ;)

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

Well, by the time you get here, you should be a master welder, so I wouldn't mind ;)

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

good write-up. i would install mine, but im waiting the three month time currently.. oh wait.. hmmm.. does that three month time start after you pay? dammit. ok, well until i pay for one, i am on the extended waiting list... ::)

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

If i had an acetiling torch I could make some bomb ass welds. People say it is brazing but I think it is welding. I went to school for it. Like a pro.

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

Ok.I allways drive in the fast lane.I feel the need to put the sticker on the passenger side so that the slow ass ricers can only see a white blur of my sticker as I kindly blow there doors off at 140mph.Is this legal?Will I need to get a permit to differ from the norm?Some one please help.I want to install my sticker but dont want to get banned for doing it in the wrong spot :-\.Im affraid that if I put it on the drivers side I'll have to drive in the slow lane so people on the freeway can see it :(.

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

yeah, we need to have a few more "designated" spots, especially since i drive a four door (yeah, i know boo)

Re:HMT decal install how-to *write up* *PICS BACK UP!*
 

very bottom of rear window would be ok. Or, you can put it going up the side of your fender at an angle. ;D






Just kidding.
