Started installing some parts for a little project that I'm working on. What a pita changing the coolant transfer pipe underneath the heads. I will finish it up tomorrow.
So what did you do to your SHO today!?

My next smaller project is to blackout the backup lights in the rear lenses. When I had the car tinted - years back - I light smoked the front lenses and rear brake lights - but for some reason decided not to do the backup light portions. Years later and different mindset - gonna use some headlight vinyl and smoke those portions out - will post pics when done.

Realized I hadn’t run the extractor down into the IC in a while (pretty sure not since I installed the noisemaker delete, and cleaned the throttle body…so, a WHILE lol) so I did that. With the drivers side jacked up I got at most a 1/2oz out. Throttle body is still clean as a whistle, and so was the plumbing between the two, so the UPR is doing its job. Nothing exciting, but figured I’d post here as a friendly reminder to check/drain yours once in a while. Bit of maintenance that’s relatively easy to overlook. Also a good opportunity to take a peek at the throttle body to see if it needs cleaning while the pipe is off. Just remember to disconnect the battery and/or the connectors if you’re going to stick your digits in there and move the throttle plate while inspecting. Safety third
Actually thanks for the reminder, plus I have to ditch the J&L and pickup a UPR catch can. I have never drained my IC yet. Any suggestions for an extractor?

I did the same thing a few weeks ago. I've been meaning to post pics but been to lazy to wash the car first. I went with a 3m product called black duel color. We use it for sign face that we want black during the day and white (or what ever color leds) at night. I also ran a strip of it on the front led marker lights!
I needed wash the car too... she has to look good first.

Someone was selling their custom sub box made for his sho, so I had to buy it, and here's a little teaser picture. I'm going to take advantage of this long weekend and try to get everything wired up.

Can’t go wrong with a mityvac.
Yeah, to my knowledge the UPR is the best bet for our cars. It’s not cheap, but personally I don’t mind paying a premium price for a product if it actually works well. You’re definitely going to want to get the upgraded check valves too
Hopefully, after I'm finished, you'll be even more jealous lol.

My J&L catches nothing, some moisture, just small dried up drops. Crapola. UPR is 15 minutes from my home.

My stereo is 2nd on my list. Need new rims, then tires. Then redo stereo. Please keep us informed of the equip you use. Thanks - and I will be very. Still running the sony premium crud.

I'm only adding 2 10" subs. Everything else will still be stock Sony stuff. Maybe down the road, I'll change out some more stuff.

Here's a quick little update for you, @kryptto. I have 2 Alpine 10" subs wired to 1 ohm, installed in the box and I have the box mounted and secured with 2 brackets I made myself to make sure the box doesn't more during spirited driving.

Done, the lights are fully tinted however with the sun it's hard to tell.

Looks good! When I did mine years ago, I had it fully blacked out like yours but then wanted something different so I cut out the clear parts of the lights so that only the red parts of the lights were blacked out.Done, the lights are fully tinted however with the sun it's hard to tell.

I like your darker tint - when I had the lights tinted I went very light grey, sided on not causing others to say they couldn't see my lights.
Thanks for sharing.
