Post pics of your latest purchase

sweet

I got these, badass gloves, double wrap.

install, painted red and ordering new brembos stickers for it, so waiting for it come.

this brembos are super light compare to my stock brakes.

I think you got your rotors installed on the wrong side.

I don't know, this guy here have his rotor facing the same direction like me.

Choua, after a quick google, you got your rotors installed correctly.

A lot of people say its mainly for looks, but install it as the manufacturer says to install it, and in most case, is like how you installed it.

Now to back up your way of installing it, the manufacturer designed the slots to bring in air towards the HUB area.

yes, my wallent have been taking a beating lately, i better stop now.

got my tools, now to find the time to get everything done.

Garret, are you replacing those valve seal?

yea, i replaced one cylinders' (4 valves) on my lunch with brent. going to knock out the rest tonight or tomorrow. that blue point tool (a 45$ investment from snap on) makes changing the seals so damn easy.

Finally got all my stuff ready for the r-154 transmission swap ACT stage 5 clutch OEM Toyota pressure plate and a resurfaced OEM flywheel.

got these today in the mail! and only 115$ shipped to me. bought them on honda-tech from some guy that hadn't even opened the box yet. just waiting on a head gasket now, that is also somewhere in the mail.

niiiice. i'd love a set of these.

I bought them for function, not form, lol

I park in my driveway, which is shared with 2 other vehicles at the same time, all the time.
Since im forgetful at opening my passenger mirror, this was my best bet.

Did you try flipping the polarity? LED has to be plugged in a certain way to work. try flipping polarity, and if it still doesnt work, then its DOA.

how do you do that exactly? i didnt think about it

Reverse polarity is making negative positive and positive negative.
without cutting wires.

just flip the bulb around to the other side and try it again.

Wanna know exactly how that works? Too bad, you're getting it anyway since I'm bored.

Electricity is nothing but positive and negative charges. When electricity was first discovered, it was thought that the direction of flow was from + to -. I believe around 1897 scientists discovered that the electron actually had a negative charge and that electricity actually traveled from - to + instead of + to -. Here is where we get to where polarity matters. A diode (LED = Light Emitting Diode) allows a charge to travel only one direction and that is from - to +. When you insert the diode from + to - it is backwards and knowing that diodes mostly go from - to + you know that the circuit isn't being completed hence why the diode won't turn on. The more you know.

Oh, and obligatory recent purchase.
