I'm feeling pretty satisfied right now. Just kicked an 8 year olds *** at MW3. At first I was taking it easy with him, letting him win most of the time. Then he kept talking ---- like he was the ------- ultimate gamer, and getting a bit too smug for my liking. He even took my controller at one point because I wasn't playing right (he wanted me to get certain guns and do certain things that made no sense) so I dropped the ------- hammer. Didn't know I had skill did you little ----. I was gaming almost two decades before your *** was even born. Sit down son! You're in my ------- house now! Wiped the floor with his ***, and kept a big smile on my face. My first time playing MW3, too. And most of my kills were with the revolver, headshots from half way across the map. His dad was watching and laughing, because he knew he was being a little bratty ----.

More electrical work on the car tomorrow. I never fixed my ground battery cable, and my charge light keeps coming on because of the loose connection on the alternator. I looked tonight and the terminal that I soldered on has a hole burned through it and is glowing bright orange. Lots of resistance. I should have thought it through better. I put all 3 wires (main, fog light and head light) into one large copper terminal and filled it with solder. Apparently I left a lot of empty pockets in the end and current is arcing and heating up the connector. I need to separate them all back out into individual loop terminals and just sandwich them onto the stud on the alt.

With my alternator terminal and main white wire getting hot enough to glow bright orange, shouldn't the main fuse pop before the wire gets hot enough to flash a fire from the wire housing melting off? From what I can see on the diagram the white wire runs from the alt to the main fuse, so I may replace it and separate it from the rest of the harness it's wrapped in and crimp/solder a new lug in the end and clean everything well and hope it holds out until I get the new 100 amp FD alternator. An 18 year old 65 amp alternator powering massively overpowered headlights on a separate new circuit, high wattage fog lights and an upgraded stereo with an amp. New alt is probably very much needed. Throw in the bad grounds and I'm asking for a fire I guess. I guess until my alternator comes in, I'll avoid using my stereo and fog lights to reduce load.

Im am thinking about going with the blue with matte black or gloss black wheels and emblems, gun metal looks sick, but my MK3 is already toyota gun metal grey metallic and I want to change things up from my usual back-grey cars (miata-black, bronco-black/silver, etc.)
I am pretty stoked and I already have two non-believers on my FB suggesting vinyl wrap and powdercoat, I hate applying vinyl, it is my side job... its messy and has a bit of adhesive to remove, it also bubbles like a mother if you dont get everything perfect(then theres that process of stabbing the bubbles with a needle and bla bla bla); powdercoating is more permanent and expensive
I am really stoked on this especially for its cheap price and fail safe ability

I would do gloss black wheels. Matte wheels would be too much matte all over the car. Need something to be a glossy offset.
I'm glad to see I planted a seed. I was hoping to be the first on here to do it, but it looks like several people may beat me to it. I'm still weeks or months out. Need to get other ---- on the car fixed first.

Exactly. Don't forget working around or removing emblems all together to work with vinyl. Plus. isn't good vinyl pretty expensive? The 3M stuff anyway. ---- all that work, wash the car, dry it well and then mix and spray, no prep, almost no masking... simple and cheap.

This also solves my extractor hood experiment issue, since the donor parts car is white, the hood would look so ricer and redneck for it to be flat black or the original white on my gun metal car. I am glad this is catching on, I thought about it but I was too scared of the results so I just forgot all about it until I saw that S2000 you posted, then the NSX on the website.
And yes, really good UV protective (not resistant) vinyl is VERY expensive to play with, plus there is way way to much heat gun and razor knife work that I hate doing.
