i remember i went the easy option ..went into the hardware store.. looked around.. "hnmmm cherry red that sounds sex". I'm glad I went for that, I like it nice and bright.

pft.. i actually had the idea well before you did yours when i was stuffing around painting and ricing up my computer at the time.  

anyway, its not like its that original. Some come from Japan with it already done.

i still did it first :P

btw the profec b spec II blue back lit goes real well with the rest of my interior.

i cant be bothered taking it all out again to paint it a darker grey so im going to have to finish everything else in the same colour... what a pain in the arse... i wanted something less obvious or attention atracting.

it was night time... i do everything when i get home from work. Much to the delight of my neghbours :D

it looked perfect when i was puting it in... wasnt til i woke up this afternoon that i noticed it

Hey inasnt, did you do the centre console surround? how hard it it to take off? I want to do it in gloss black :D (does that count as rice?)

nope didnt do it.

come off very easily, 2 screws near the seat belt joiners and 2 under the gear stick.

narkeh... being a panel beater n all u shoulda known the colour changes when it dries, didn't you do a test spray the night before?? u n00b!

BTW u'r engine bay is now yelow and your interior is baby blue... u'r not like becoming a hippy or some shit are you? :hippy:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
