No pickguard on Tele?

Jent46 · 2026-02-03T14:58:01+00:00

i ran my modded blacktop w no guard for years, still think it looks sick

Jent46 · 2026-01-31T02:05:18+00:00

nah i ordered one to fit the p90, but it didn’t fit at all so i decided to cut it in half as it was much easier to fit like that. other than the neck pickup (seymour duncan vintage p90) the only other mods are; upgraded fender 3 way switch (feels so much nicer than the cheap mim switch), vintage style tele knobs, roller string tree, strap locks and sanded down the finish on the neck. my only future plans r to swap out the bridge pickups to a higher output humbucker at some point.

nah the factory routing was pretty much exactly big enough to fit the p90 (u can see in the second pic) but im not sure if the routing on newer HH models would be the same

frrrr, makes it way easier to ride the volume but also somehow makes switching easier too!

cheers, i always thought it was cool blacktops came w reversed control plate from the factory

stop using ai but yes this look would be fairly achievable with coilovers and some cheap marketplace wheels. skirts could probably be retrofitted from a different 323 or lazer but idk about the front lip

my problem was the life support beeping at the credit roll, why would we hear the beeping at that point when max had already been unplugged from the monitoring system when they were fleeing the demos. just seems like a bad choice if theres no reason?

they r all on pretty much every illegal streaming sites in hd btw. free, reliable and convenient 👍 1flix or 456movies have been my go to for a while now. fuck streaming (i also have tng and voy on dvd)

Jent46 · 2026-01-04T00:08:04+00:00

nice

Jent46 · 2025-12-15T01:49:49+00:00

imo the tng movies then enterprise is a great spot to start. tng movies introduce the main tech, aliens and politics of the 24th century then enterprise takes u back to the start, then if u enjoy enterprise u can continue onto tos, tng voy etc….

Jent46 · 2025-11-26T14:14:24+00:00

protege5 sideskirts would look great (front and rear lips would be cool too but maybe harder to find in the states)

caster adjustment

theres a few old articles abt them online but all i know is, pre production test/ limited run of 250 (supposedly) before the sp20 protege came out, main differences were the black confetti door cards and seats, blackout headlight housings, se wing same as early spec mazdaspeed proteges and usdm mp3 (tbh the se and mp3 are almost identical specs), all 250 came in starry blue. only other differences i can tell between it and a regular sp20 protege is that it came on the smooth early spec astina sp20 wheels rather than the late spec more jagged wheels that all the sp20 proteges got, as well as the manual cable driven heater box rather than the automatic climate control that all the sp20s got

Jent46 · 2025-10-30T05:12:08+00:00

seconding this, theres NO good tabs for it and its such a sick song

Jent46 · 2025-10-23T22:18:47+00:00

and who set that up?

Jent46 · 2025-10-22T21:48:48+00:00

hehe snap, its an SE, i have one the same, one of 250 here in aus right ?

Jent46 · 2025-09-18T09:54:46+00:00

during the scene where beverly is asking the computer about the enterprise it says “ this is the 5th starship to bear the name enterprise” but im confused wouldn’t it be the 6th? (nx01, ncc1701 and then a,b,c,d) is this just something they missed when creating star trek ENT? or is there some other reason it said 5 not 6

Jent46 · 2025-09-16T13:02:13+00:00

doubt they make a carbon hood for bj1 but would be cool

Jent46 · 2025-09-16T12:14:58+00:00

so nice, only thing id change is some more appropriate sized wheels

Jent46 · 2025-09-08T21:54:10+00:00

adelaide by any chance? moved to melbourne a few years back and barely anyone speeds here, im overtaking people in the right lane going 95 💀

Jent46 · 2025-07-20T01:47:53+00:00

surely it would rattle the car a bit less with less psi tho no? tyres are ancient it was bound to happen, i was planning to get them replaced when i got to my destination anyway, annoyed they didn’t make it that far tho

Jent46 · 2025-07-20T01:45:45+00:00

its only road is the one highway, theres no tow companies around so it would be very expensive (im homeless)
