Re: LED H4 bulbs

Jeez, sorry I stirred things up...... What I have, are Eurpean BMW lenses, sold to Byron and I from Danile Stern lighting. Supposedly with a very precise focused lense, not like the crap we get in North America, They of course were desigend for an incandescent bulb. I was just wondering if any one h...

LED H4 bulbs

I am hoping for a broader comment, if possible ( I know Chad did one a few years ago) of any practical experience with LED H4/9003 bulbs...plug and play??!! I had embarked on a headlight upgrade a decade ago, got lost in time I never did it. I know Byron did as we had done a group buy. I'm at a poin...

Re: California Fires

Funny you should say that! My wife and I were sitting yesterday morning, watching the news, and it was just pissing rain out! Humidity was 95%. I said Jeez, how bizarre we have so much rain and they have not had a drop. At least at the moment our snow pack is building, so hopefully that will help wi...

Re: California Fires

Morning Chad, Thank you so much for these words, could NOT have been better said!!!! I hope all that read this take note of your sage, life altering experience. As climate and disaster, in many forms, can lurk anywhere at any time, heed needs to be paid to what you have said for sure. B.C. had had i...

California Fires

Watching the news this morning...Holy Cow!

I hope all our American/Californians will be ok and safe through this disaster.

Strangely, I watched a documentary last night on the Lahaina fire and how fast it went with the winds.
Then I get up this morning and see this.

Re: Am I in over my head? '70 2 door from scratch

THEN...when you think it is done....pour a nice coffee and go a round and check EVERY nut, bolt, clamp, screw, etc..

that all are tight and ready to go. It's funny how that one "little" thing can get missed.

Re: Am I in over my head? '70 2 door from scratch

I can relate.... One year, at Knox, I had my trunk open right before my time to run, 1st run of the day. As it was cool, I had my jacket on over my fire suit. I stupidly had my keys in the jacket pocket and in my haste to make it to pre-grid, I took my jacket off and threw it in the trunk...and clos...

Re: TELEGRAPH COVE FIRE

Yes, for sure, that will be in the millions I think. I do wonder if they had insurance across the whole works, the Graham family has owned that for a long time and would have been aware of the risks. As I said, my Dad was with a major insurance company, and he was sent to to access "risk" ...

Re: TELEGRAPH COVE FIRE

They have no idea yet, will be a tough one. The "Cove" as the functional part on the CDN side was closed at the end of October, so there should have been nothing going on. The hot spot to me looks to have been in the middle, which is where the restaurant kitchen would have been. That being...

TELEGRAPH COVE FIRE

Morning World! This may not mean much to many, but for me, I lived and worked there in the 60's, as did my family in the 70's till the mill shut down.. I know some of you will have visited there, so you may have a sense of the history of Telegraph Cove. As it has been very commercialized over the ye...

Afternoon Owen, Sometimes it is the simple things that get missed, brain working on how to stuff everything into the engine bay. Yes, depending on your clearance to the hood, the high heat materials can work. Here is a picture of the Miata with the adhesive material, clearance to turbine housing is ...
