    ****** Common/Helpful DIY Thread Index ******

    Instead of keeping multiple stickies at the top of the DIY forum, this index will be a list of the most commonly used DIY threads and also other threads that will help with people taking on some projects of their own.

    NOTE: When browsing this index or the list of threads, you may not be looking for anything in particular, just something new and cool you can try out on your own. If you know you'd like to do something to your interior or exterior perhaps, you can use the Search option and search for "INT:" or "EXT:" and it will pop up a list of all interior or exterior guides. SUSP (suspension) and ENG (engine) categories are also able to be searched for. Please remember that the Search function requires terms of at least 4 characters, so include the colon (:) at the end of the three character category names, like INT:

      i don't know how many people actually need a DIY on a stereo install...but, i think mine should be stickied...not so much as here, but more over in the beginner audio section or something like that.


      i dunno, just a suggestion.

        How about a DIY on filling motor mounts with liquid urethane? I thought I saw one on here awhile back, but I cant seem to find it. Thanks.

                    Wife: "Why do you get G power platinum and i only get V power?"
                    Me:"Cause i have the high compression 93 octane only H22 and you have the bullet proof F22."
                    Wife:........................"But yours are prettier"

                    ---------------------------------------------------
                    Wife:Baby, not everybody wants to do the 93 conversion"
                    Me:YES THEY DO, THEY JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET.
