    Word. Based upon the symptoms I was reading, it sounded just like my Mercury Capri that had a bad plug wire. Rough idle, questionable ability to start. Found a bad wire and now it's smooth as silk.

    huh?

    They don't draw much current, maybe 500ma @5v... They are basically a mobile phone, fitted with a battery..

    You can use a prepaid long life sim, the ones that don't expire for 12 months.

    But yeah wait until you have the spare cash :)

    So clean! Really beautiful man! :)

    Hmm I guess im quite paranoid about the battery in the car more than anything. Mine died with 3 days of sitting, I reckon the headunit that's in the car now just has it's wires twisted and taped.

    I'll see about the tracker.

    Thank you both for not having coffee can sized exhaust tips, and I have to admit its weird seeing the interior of the RHD cars and shifting left handed to boot. What are the placements of the pedals? US is Clutch/Brake/Gas.

    Edit: Typo!

    Brake is on the left, Accel on the right
    So for manual it'd be clutch, brake, accel

    How old is the battery? I thought my old Grand Am was drawing electricity too, as I'd have to keep charging the battery every couple days if I didn't drive it. Turned out the battery was worn out and had bad cells.

    I hear you! It's so refreshing to see tuner cars without fart cans on them. I also think shifting with my left hand would be so weird...

    Well the battery was only a month and a half old. I got it exchanged, and now I'm monitoring it. Hopefully it was just the battery being faulty.

    Oh I didn't realize it was such a new battery. Yeah, hopefully it was faulty, I'm sure it's not unheard of.

    @Dakar I'm green with envy. When I get more money I plan to seriously look into getting a Pulsar GTI-R into the states. Those SR20DET based cars just have so much potential.

    Bought a new headunit since it was on sale - I nearly bought this a few weeks ago at $350. I got it for $270, so I'm happy with the buy.
    Getting a mate to walk me through the install, so will be going to his house later this week hopefully.

    Don't forget loud Muffler plus plastidip racing stripes equal a billion hp and throw a vtech sticker on it and that alone will equate weight reduction. Just ask any honda civic owner. Don't forget the cut the resonators off your car.

    Well I might honestly be changing the catback or going with the HKS HiPower409. I want a nicer idle but still staying legal as possible.
    After all, it is JDM and would look pretty nice the a titanium exhaust tip

    I bought some carpet and upholstery cleaner... again... since it was on sale. My carpet in the car is pretty stained, mostly I don't know what of. So I gave this product a bit of a test.

    Not too bad of a result, I didn't do the whole carpet so it looks patchy still. First time doing such a task. The floormats however came out beautifully, they were a lot more stained before.
    I'd like new floormats though, or better condition ones. I suppose if anyone in Japan here could help out, I'd appreciate it.

    No bondo, but it does have a little whistle installed.
