Did you install a lock on your oil drain plug this time?

Nope I did'nt forget the lock this time around,Im not pulling a stupid second time around lol

nice work

did you guys see where the guy who had his oil feed line sabotaged on .net madde me think of rican imediatly. :rofl:

Get rid of those baby teeth homie(tow brackets on the front by the fmic)

I'll get on it sooner or later, and save them in my back trunk

Ummm... why?

they don't do anything, they look ugly, and you can't tow by them.

Can you load the car on a towtruck with them?

Rican, did you install the emanage on the armrest?

looking good thus far

I've always heard never to use them for anything...just as tie downs...but maybe if you were easy?

Right. Used for shipping as far as I know. But they do seem strong enough to support the car being loaded on the ramp/towtruck. Guess I'm used to it.

If it explodes (say rear end goes) what are the tow points?

/Jack

those are for pulling it onto the truck yeah they tie into the subframe + they give you a spot to strap down while on the dyno :D

wait a minute lock on drain plug. what are we talkin about here?

Hahaha, do a search for oil bandit / oil thief / stolen oil in posts started by Rican. Pop some popcorn. Enjoy.

yea pretty much, I just used velcro tape so it can be removed anytime, easy to acess from where its mounted right now.

I used my lower control arms...x.X

just be careful to remove it when you get out...I mean...if someone is stealing your oil..they wont hesitate to take your EMU :gay:


seriously though, don't get that shit stolen.

I cant find anywhere else to conceal the damn thing, I figure just throw a t-shirt over it when I park my car so nobody sees it:bigtu:

The glove box is where mine is and I just made a styrofoam holding pod and covered that in vinyl.

you can mount it to the rear bulkhead beside the stock ecu... easy to access by just popping the passengers side seat forward.

hidden under the rear deck carpet maybe?

dude seriously if your having a problem with shit getting stolen, paint that damn intercooler black... nothing attracts thieves around here more than a big ass disco ball in the grill.

no chance in hell I'd do that.... drop it behind the passenger seat, on in the front footwell, or behind the glove box....anywhere but there.

My car has never been towed, only loaded onto either a dolly or trailer for transport.

I use control arms as tie down points also, still have the baby teeth laying around just they look shitty on the car.

Or even in the glovebox... your gun will still fit. Provided it is a pistol (I think my dad's rifle would fit in the mazda3 glovebox).

HOLY FUCK, that is the funniest shit ive ever read on here!!! That was like an epic movie!! Thanx for lettin me in on it

I guess I'll mount it close to the factory ecu, and I guess I could paint the intercooler black.....(so much for the bling Factor), I guess It be better to draw attention away from my emanage so my shit does'nt get broken into....

Unfortunately, if you need to, you can tow using them. :cry:



Rican, any updates dude?

I think your ecu is in the back of the pass seat right? I have a 91 but heres mine

and my anti bling IC, in broad daylight on your belly you can still barely tell its an intercooler... :bigtu:

I have the emanage hidden under the carpet above the armrest (where the top folds down, no interference with anything and not visable

much better.
