60G operating, 300G nonoperating :D
No, I decided to stop watching how everybody were working on your car while you were polishing a brand new amp in the back of the car...Quote:

What about the distro block... Did you already screw that into the trunk somewhere?

Ah ****! I just realized that I can't swap my videocard because then I'd loose dual monitor support on my development machine :(
So... anyone have a nice videocard they wanna sell me for $35?
Today's progress:
I got the 16ft Xenarc extention cable.
Car is in shop and I'm $750 poorer :( Car is getting new rack and pinion steering since mine is leaking, and 2 new shocks because one of them died. Atleast this will fix my steering annomalies. Plus I opted for some kyb shocks up front instead of the stockers. :)
Just when there was some progress! What is your grandfather making the mold out of? Fiberglass?
Yeh, but the car will drive better. The steering was quite sloppy for a while. This should fix that problem, plus make the car stiffer.Quote:

I'd have the pics, but the camera is in my trunk at the shop :(
Car definately drives better. Steering wheel returns to normal position. No more bump steer. Steerign wheel stays in place. Overall happy with new handleing.
