    Due to a few of us having problems with page loading on the other thread I've created a new one.

    This is for all FL members in the Tampa, Tampa Bay area, and our neighbors :).

    Since no one bought my RX300 tail lights...

    Project RX300 LED tail lights has gone underway. Just like the DEPO led tail lights these will have the Bulb style reverse light, brake light/turn signal will be LEDs, and the housing will be painted black with the safety reflectors intact.

    and for those who haven't seen it... here's a 3rd brake light I did which is on my car...

    Watchin the game, but the thread (about the meets and the car) will be up. I took Jose's car for a few days now, and took some pics at two different locations at two different times. Played around with them best I could. But I could use a better camera...

    Yeah lol. I don't mind it to a point. My house isn't in a flood zone but everything else around is so getting home can be a pain at times if its non-stop rain.

    The rain then cold weather is what kills. My grass is now brown thanks to the freeze we had a couple weeks ago. It will be cold the next 2-3 days according to the news.

    Hot, rain, cold, hot, rain, cold... no wonder I am sick lol. Gotta love Florida :).

    Not too much, non-stop weather changes haha.

    How have you been? What's going on in Alabama?

    Its not difficult at all. Its a matter of removing a few things to get to them. Its pretty much following the replacing the axles how-to. Once you remove the axles. The seals you can pop off with a flat head. Then when putting in the new ones... place it on and lightly tap it around till its sealed completely. After that put everything back together.

    cool. i'll be doing that sunday as i have to drop the tranny. check the clutch so...ya, it's going to be a long day.

    another note, I tried doing a boost leak test on an SRT with the mopar plate for the first time, and I tried what you suggested...turn key in the on position. it was a no go....

    Solenoid is stuck open. Either cycle on-off-on-off-on to try to get it to closed or reset the pcm. It shouldn't leak out the vent holes, mine doesn't. The "ON" thing is if it leaks out the vent holes on the blue plate. Mine I don't even turn the key to the ON position. I just do a normal boost leak test.

    It might not be leaking from the vent holes it might be leaking in general. I know some people say oh its warp, oh its not sealing right, etc. I have never had any problems. Problems with them is for the most part user end install error.

    Its all St. and Ave. here, they are all cross streets. Ave. go in one direction and St. in the opposite.

    So say an address is 2201 23 St. N.

    Which equals... 22nd Ave. and 23 St.

    You just take the first two numbers of the location to figure out the cross street.

    The numbers go up and down so if your on 15th Ave. N. and need to get to 22nd Ave. N. but ended up by 5th Ave. N. you have to go the opposite direction. Once you reach 1st Ave. N. then it goes South... 5th Ave. S. and so on.

    Its pretty simple actually. A bit confusing downtown where you run into actual street names.

    If you were in the area you should have let me know!!!!!!!
