Spoon_'s highschool budget build thread

yo spoon if you dont mind me asking, howd you get the pin stripe off?
i see the hair dryer but im pretty much lost after that

Theres lots of ways you can remove it that mostly revolve around using heat.
My method was using my finger nail and a blow dryer. (my finger nail was hurting afterwards but it was worth it.) If your pinstripe is in good condition it should come off easier. Once you start peeling it you can keep pulling it off. But mine was all dried up and chipped. Then i used wd-40 to remove the sticky adhesive stuff.(make sure you clean it off afterwards) I wouldnt recommened using a blade since you can scratch the paint and or remove the clear coat.

Heres a link of a bunch of people who have different methods of removing a pinstripe.

Bah, my quotes got out of order, oh well.

[QUOTE=Spoon_;2122286]Except for my JDM wiring job. Actually i figured it out. Since i had to salvage those 1 pieces, i think they’re from 2 differen’t years. On one of them, the Foglights plug right into the oem foglight harness. And on the other one it doesnt, but it plugs into the parking lights(side markers) harness.

So i really have been contemplating on what motor i should get… I was going to get the b20b but i figured its not much of a power gain and i should just go for the b20z. But then i wanted vtec for a little while and was thinking of getting a b16. But then i was like no, im just going to save up for a b20z and just get a clutch and resurface the flywheel so im saving up for that. I need another 2-300 so im pretty close. I think im set on this decision. I need to learn to be patient.

B20z ftmfw:rockon::D[/QUOTE]
I forgot about your JDM wiring job, hahaha.
You’ll definitely love the B20z, even in stock form!

Wow tiny ass world if it the case.

Idk if he fixed the ignition column yet…he might of. Haha couldn’t get it smogged from what he was saying…[/QUOTE]

Fking-a dude… yeah it was him and his girl. only reason it wont pass smog is it needs a o2 sensor. ignition was replaced. what else did he tell you was wrong with it??? lol

Shane = Stay away from unsmoggable vehicles lol

hahaha yeah i know right… at least this one i know i can get to pass with an 02 sensor

:rofl: at Robbie’s pics.

Spoon if you still need a h4h bulb I can sell my set. It will be awhile until I am on the road again…

Nah its cool. My funds are low right now and im trying to save all that i can for my b20. :frowning:

Btw is it illegal to have yellow headlights?

Yellow headlights… yes those are illegal… yellow fogs… those are fine

Yea, not so much a fan of yellow headlights. Super wack IMO

I use to hate them too until i was watching forumala racing one time. And they were racing at night with yellow headlights. It looked cool IMO:cool:

I guess ill go with super white in that case when i get some.

I had a set of sylvannia H4H here you come using one bulb, Notice its brighter but dont install the other H4h??? :confused: Yellower light passes to the ground better then pure white light or blue light, and alot better under certain weather conditions, lower glare for other drivers. Might be a requirement for those race cars especially at the high rate of speed they are doing at night. Selective yellow light can improve a driver’s ability to see in fog or rain or snow, but not because it penetrates fog better or reflects less off droplets as is commonly thought. The human eye interacts different with each color of light. Blue and violet are very difficult for the human optical system to process correctly. They are the shortest visible wavelengths and tend to focus in front of our eyes’ retinae, rather than upon it. Blue light has about 50% more glare then yellow light. Hid’s break up the blue light particles and spread them everywhere for a solution it looks good but the solution isnt a very good one because youve got scattered light everywhere.

Its not brighter. I think yours are shittier than the ones i had. And i had to change the bulb in the foglight too so it looks dimmed out also.

thank you captain science lol jk

:lol:I wanted to say something. :rofl::rofl:
