I'll want to have some fresh Mobil 1 in there if I do take it in for a dyno run.

How many oil changes have you guys been through now?
One at 2000 miles. Done by my favorite mechanical technician...Me.

Oh, I wasn't trying to make a point... just trying to be funny.

Let us know how it goes with the Sevice Manager.

Dang Daryl! I'd be complaining up a storm with that tech or Manager big time!

I hope that guy installed the fuel pump correctly, only because if he didn't show respect to your car on the cosmetic stuff, what's his workmanship like underneath the car? If at all possible, I'd want to take a look at it, even if they have to throw it up on a lift just for you to inspect.

Multi-Point insp? I'm affraid to ask what they tampered with...

On your center caps, if you make those boneheads dremel those marks on the wheels... just point them out, but try to remove the marks yourself. Are your wheels clearcoated?

Oil level... go check it with the dipstick! trust no one.

Trunk latch cover... no comment, that's just inexcusable.

Sorry your baby had to go through this, bud.

I have a bit of good news on the west coast... my WebElectric Sequentials came in... and they're installed!

New vids were shot too. I have to review and edit them first.
I'm darn lucky I wasn't thrown in jail from the vids I made today!

Well, hurry up! I want to see them!

You know I haven't even peeled out with my new tires, yet?

I've tried sliding the car around corners, but these BFG's work so darn well it's not that easy to do. Kinda takes some of the fun out of it, but instead of sliding, the car goes straight awful quick! These are the same corners I could easily whip the car around with the stock tires.

Do they "chase"?

J/K, but I've never liked WebElectric because of how they trash the compitition's sequential lights:

"We are the only company that offers a TRUE Plug-N-Play solution. The other companies that sell you a so-called "plug-in" kit require you to modify your stock harnesses -- you must punch holes in the grommets, run wires through the holes, slice up the socket gaskets and connect wires to the sockets. Then you have to test them to make sure you did it correctly."

Holy Cow! Punch a hole in a grommet? No! Run a wire through that same hole? Surely you jest! Test them? Forget it...

I've never liked when companies put down other companies to get more business.

But I'll buy their One-Touch Rear Window switches, though!

Going to get your $40 rebate by sending in your stock harness?

I'll upload the vids into my Bucket in the morning and update the Pypes thread. The vids do look a lot better in its raw AVI format compared to Photobucket's video player. But, the sound seems accurate enough.

I really like the way the sequentials turned out, perfect to me! Just the way I imagined them to be.
I know what you're saying about companies that brag, but in this case, they walk the talk!

I'm going to keep my factory harness, don't need the $40 that bad.

They look great! Really makes the car stand out... This was the first thing I did (if you look at my sig, the dates on the pictures is the same day I picked up the car!).

Ha! I hijacked your thread!

Hahaha! yer got me lad! Like you said, it's a good to see what's available out there as far as sequential lights.

I do like your 'chase' lights... too bad there's no switch in mine that'll go between sequential and chase.

I'm not sure how those dynamite sticks actually work. Mine has like a 3"x4"x2" box with a micro-processor in it. That's what controls the on, on, on and then the off, off, off to get the chase effect. There's a jumper to switch between sequential, chase, and factory.

.....

What's with everyone on the webelectric bandwagon??? What's wrong with the CDC Sequentials?? They're cheaper if your keeping the stock harness and have a longstanding rep for quality. Npt to mention must people on the forum have atleast one CDC product in they're stang or have future plans for one. The install is just as easy and requires no splicing. Sorry if I sound like I work for CDC. It's just that everything I've bought from them has fit and installed perfectly and was of great quality. I'm just wondering why there seems to be such a strong preference for the webelectric sequentials.

Wicked! Maybe a little wreckless... but oh well!

Was that stock? or with the 87 tune?

Not everyone! Check out my sig... just needed to solder in one wire. Not a big deal at all! I had to do ALOT more soldering to add my Daytime Running Lights!

Ha! Yeah, it was a bit wreckless, but isn't that the reason we all bought a Mustang instead of a Toyota Prius? It sure was fun though!

Can't wait to make some vids after my Bamachips tune!

All stock... well kind of.

SCT is supposed to ship out today (I hope).

I'm sure the CDC sequentials are fine, just like the other manufacturers.

It's just that I've had my mind set on the WebElectric unit for quite some time now (it was in my future mod list forever!). And, combined with the positive customer feedbacks I've read, I figured that it's a winner!

Reckless ? Hell you didn't even get sideways
Those videos make me want to go make my own
I got another opinion guys.
You know I bought the Infinty 682.7CF and was going to replace the rear speakers with them, now I am wondering if I would get better results by placing them in the fronts first.
Any opinions?

Go for it! I only get to see crazy stuff on Streetfire and Google video.

For sure! Definately would make a bigger impact to your ears if installed in the fronts. Rear speakers are typically for (sound) fill.
In my Tacoma, I have the better quality MB Quart component speakers up front and the lesser 2-way MB's in back.

Ideally, changing out all 4 would be best, then you can work on the door subs next.
