ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

        its different than all of you guys and i like them. thought i would try it and see but you cant really see them when the door is open unless you know there pink or if the fender is off. but it was really i just wanted something to do while my boyfriend and his buddy were painting my car in the booth so they told me to do the door hinges so i did pink. i was board it just gave me something to do at the time. my boyfriend was wanting to paint all the door jams pink and trunk jam to but i like my white jams.

            He is putting in work. I dig the fusebox location too. Most just hide it under the dash, but yours still remains easily accessible. Can't wait to see it finished.

                those that recommend any type of vynil tape, have never really done plenty of wire tucks, the vynil streches and contracts a lot with temperature, and once a single drop of water/oil touches the glue, it starts to unravel, and that glue becomes tar, sucky shit when trying to fix a fuck up or adding wires


                i recommend "3m friction tape" and nothing else

                to move the fusebox to the trunk, simply go to the JY and remove a fusebox, and cut as far as you can from the JY car

                when i add wires i ALWAYS use the same wire for the addition, i have 3 boxes full of honda wiring, so its a matter of finding the wire
                this way, i dont have a blue wire going into a yellow and finishing in a green
                the task aint dificult at all if you trust yourself around wiring, but its a lot of cutting splicing and sodering

                good luck

                            While I think we see eye to eye on good quality tape, I have used friction tape before and never really seen it hold that well. How is your experience with it?

                            What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

                            You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

                              could have smoothed both frame rails, filled in the gaps around the mount brackets, filled in the 2 big holes near the core support, shaved the core support, cleaned up firewall etc.
