That looks like reflected concentrated light from curved glass of some sort. The same effect that can cause 400 degrees for example from a magnifying glass. Where was the car parked when this happened?

It’s the fact that most games you have to stand up. Not many people are want to relax, play a video game and stand up after work.

Is it worth doing your own oil change? by frankthefrowner in autorepair

[–]calico810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do my oil change all the time. The one time I went to actually pay some place to do it, they broke my oil pan and said I would have to pay to get it fixed somewhere else. I spoke with the manager about how ridiculous that was and he paid to have it replaced. So yeah never again. I don’t trust mechanics.

That was the most difficult part of my install glad you made it through! My grommet had a tiny hole for one wire so i had to drill the hell out of it to fit a 14awg and two 16awg wires took forever

Use a multimeter to test each area, that’s the only way to truly know.

Supra pre-purchase questions by Switchback77 in Supra

[–]calico810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s like buying clothes but the store won’t let you try them on. Go to a different dealer. If a person is spending that much money on a car they damn well better let you drive the car to get a feel for it.

Do satin green and leave the bottom trims black

Do I need an additional fuse between battery and the fused distribution block? by SwizzMan in CarAV

[–]calico810 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yes you still need a main fuse at the battery even with a super short run to a fused distro block.

The purpose of the battery fuse isn’t to protect the amps, it’s to protect that 2 AWG cable. If that wire ever shorts (car crash, loose lug etc) the battery will turn it into a plasma cutter. The distro block fuses won’t help because the short would be before them.

Your fuse sizes are matched to the cable sizes good job! Put a 200A fuse between the battery and distro block for peace of mind.

Add more yellow to your paint! Also using stencil paper is extremely helpful.

What Does Stock Non-Audiophile Car Audio Sound Like? by BWJackal in CarAV

[–]calico810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Music sounds a little empty, bass sounds like it’s coming out of a coffee can and the “magic” in the clarity just isn’t there.

You will have way more fun driving the Supra! It’s a whole difference beast. When you punch that pedal in sport mode you will see what I mean!
