in 2 weeks is uni holidays for me :D and i have decided that i want to install red or blue neon lights under my car, however, i want to install it so the lights are wired up with the interior light.

this way when i get in and out of the car the lights will come on :) and they wont be on when im driving :( (im sure its illegal)

has anyone wired up neons like this before? does anyone know how to wire them up? would you be so kind as to explain to me how i might go about doing it? :)

also i might try and wire it so i can turn them on or off with an overide switch so they don't go on during the day, or so i can leave them on if i want :)

anyway any suggestions would be much appreciated :) thanks!

Ok, I would use a relay and put it near the lights, then run a power source from your interior light to the relay, in this line is where I would probably put a switch, saves you trying to run another line back into the cabin to switch the -ve side. Just earth the relay to somewhere good in the engine bay, and take the source from somewhere like the starter motor :D

my friend has done it to his car ... its ricey but hey ... looks pretty sweet ... just don't do it like the commodores u see where they don't stick the neon right under the car but near the bottom so that u can see the actually neon light ... i think it looks best when u only see the neon light reflection of the gound ... :) show us some pics when u have it done :D

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
