Nothing major though , if you look at the roof line by the top of the windshield you will see some rock damage . Oh and probably as well I ha...

How did you make a 5 spd last so long for so many miles/km?????? Did it not self destruct on you several times over?

HIDS

Just installed hids in both my low beam and driving lights . WOW what a difference . I just got them for the high beams as well but I am getting a strobe effect because of the DRL's .
I guess I will need to install a relay ,or am I doomed to run the regular 9005 bulbs ?
