Does anyone actually know Elijah (Shinjiduo)? I am not really wanting to, but I'm almost to the point of writing him a negative review. He sent me the blue LED's for my HVAc controls and soldered new ones onto my stereo, but from the start the stereo was the problem. First he sent me the face with the board and it didn't work at all. Turns out he had reversed the polarity. So I sent it back. Then he corrected the polarity and sent it back and now it works except for one light on the bottom right of the deck... This was a month ago at least now. I have emailed him 3 different times about it, giving him weeks to respond and nothing... I even offered to send him my original HUD to solder that one because he said this one can't be fixed. I paid him for a product and he didn't deliver and I just want my shizzle to work all the way... Messed up. Rant over.

when I re-did the backlighting on my non-bose stock HU to LEDs, I accidentally created an intermittent contact to the backlighting of the HU with my probes. Should have known better. The HU still worked...but it was a problem that the backlight wouldn't always, until I pressed in on the damned thing.

I lived with it...until I got my new HU.

Is this your stock one, Dorian?

hmm.....can you figure out a way to get it (just the faceplate) here like Tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest? I *might* be able to take a look-see and if it's not too bad, return it to you on Thursday on my way to medford...



so I take it he gave you a PCB that had the LEDs already on 'em? and you still have your original one, yes?

High compression (even stock compression) doesn't permit that.

I couldn't make out the sign on the building to see what kind/type of gas station it is. Whatever it is, i'm unfamiliar with it.

I think Amerikaner83 has been divulging a bit of his personal history here, with more than a couple references to his weight. Or at least, his weight at a child. TMI, if you ask me. And while we all do it to some degree, I draw the line at discussing my body image. Honestly, I don't care if these jeans make me look fat.

THe invasive species problem you guys have down there is terrible. Have you heard of the rock python? It is becoming a problem now but they are trying to nip it in the bud this time before it gets to the burmese level

The big problem with those snakes is primarily in south Florida in the everglades. Those are tropical snakes, and can't survive in cold weather. South FL winters are much more mild than north FL.

I'm not sure what's being done, but i'm sure the skin and meat would bring in good money if the state would allow hunting for them. I don't know if they do or not... never checked into it.

Yea the burmese is mostly south near the glades and the rock is mostly centered around Miami for now. Google it because the rock python is very aggressive and is responsible for several human deaths whereas the burmese problem is only for other animals. Neither have a natural predator in Florida.

Its fun shopping for the stuff and researching but i bet it set you back a pretty penny. What PSI do you plan on running and what MAF is common for the G? You DD the G don't you? I plan on about 8-10. Aeromotive just came out with a new pump that is getting great reviews. Its more capable than you would need of course but its still cool to say your pump is 300LPH capable lol
