[QUOTE=Bloodlust182;284330]Installed HIDs in my lows and fogs from DDM tuning. 5K lows and 3K fogs. I like how it turned out.

Progress on the lower intake...

After sanding yesterday. Because this mostly won't be visible when the engine is assembled, it's not exactly show-quality work. If I couldn't reach it with a flap wheel or roloc disc, it wasn't getting sanded. "deal with it" lol

After black oxide with the big buffing wheel and the, um, mandrel-buff-thing I use in the drill. Hitting the details with the die grinder.

After its bath to remove the black oxide remnants so it's ready for the next step.

Fuel rails, for comparison, already went through the whole procedure a while ago. And I gave a bit more of a damn about sanding them smooth first.

I know what you went through to get that far....Don't forget to seal them so they won't oxidize. I used Shark Hide for mine.

It might of been me but I didn't have springs in my 4+. I sent it to a place in TN and they did a shitty job. I then sent it to NY to Rochester (I think) and they did a great job but cost a good bit more.

Ok. I have a new SB Stage 4 clutch I'm probably just going to swap in and cough up the Spec as a loss.

HID in stock fogs? I want this! Can you post details and links of where you bought?

[R/T93]

You just have to drill out the housing to fit the bulb. It even comes with a grommet. It was pretty easy when I did it 4 years ago with a ddm kit, just had to put a spade connector on the harness.
Same thing you did, BL?

From the phone.

It's on my to do list. Here's the guide for a second gen, not sure how similar with first gen

HID H3 Fog install/mod 2nd Gen. - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

I'd say that's your best bet. It's what I'd do anyway. I'lll probably go with a SB next time.

I think so. I have to find some transmission gears and sliders first. I'm tempted to just throw a 3rd gear synchro in my 6-speed and get my car running. It was the only gear I had problems with grinding and the gear is perfect. Ray says as long as it wasn't notchy or popping out of gear likely the gears are ok to use. It's hard to draw the line when there's some rounding, chipping, or mushrooming on the backside of the engagement teeth. New parts are $350-550 each which is ridiculous. I'll honestly not enjoy my car if I dump $3k into a tranny rebuild because I won't want to damage it resulting in an expensive rebuild. That takes the fun out of spirited driving.

By the time you get to it next time SB may be out of business...
