Preacher

Black pearl's black chrome w an opalesent tint to it,it's hard to shoot it well in direct light,but it's very different than stock,which is silver chrome.

Well,the 'M' flash is done,and the car runs its' best,so far. :)
I added super-blue 6-LEDs to the front parking lights,so they now match the HIDs for 'blueness'....still left are the halogen hi-beams and the fogs>superblue replacements....and I added mazdaspeed seatbelt pads f/r,I figured it can't hurt,and they ARE comfy.....

Preacher

Nope,it's an '85 Interceptor with 20k miles,a stage II jet kit,F1 exhaust,K&N intake,changed gear ratios,etc....just a toy....65HP,
no big deal....actually,am gonna' sell it and buy a cruiser,my back's f*cked up from old sports injuries....
Here's today's fun new 'mods....

Preacher

These knobs are very very cool.....you lower the shift pint,shortening the shift throw considerably.
Lotsa' vibration in the knob,the Mazda knob's about 6x heavier (denser) and absorbs vibes 300% better than the Voo,but the FEEL of the Voodoo cannot be beat.

The mobile phone thingy looks good. I wonder if it works as well as it looks. I rather have the bluetooth speaker if I want to spend the money to buy one.

I have both a bluetooth (Jabra) earpiece and the speakerphone.
The Jabra unit's a bit touchy,so I tend to use it more at the casa.
For $60,the speakerphone's real nice when you're talking and driving in excess of a buck-twenty ;) and it charges the batt as well.

i take it those LED tailights aren't DOT approved, which LED's did you use? Did you use your original light housing?

Preacher
06-11-2004, 09:39 PM
DOT approved?
LMAO,I'd even never bother to think on it....cops around these parts wouldn't know an illegal JDM clear-corner from a hole in the ground,let alone LED taillights....and btw,many automakers are using LEDs in tails....

making sure the led's are bright enough during the day is my only concern. i don't want to get into an accident and later find out that i'm totally screwed cause i didn't have DOT approved tailights on my car. i'd figure pulling led's off a late model deville would work. i can't imagine there being different DOT approvals for tailight for every single car. i mean, if it's bright enough for a cadillac, it should be bright enough for any other car.
