Installing a subwoofer is easy! Well, that is assuming you have a lineout on your head unit. Which I don't. So, as usual I'm over loading my task list right before the show on Sunday. Now I have to decide if I'm going to buy a new one or if I should use a Kenwood that a friend gave me. 4x40 watts isn't bad. It is much better the Blaupunkt 4x20 that I have right now and it has a external aux out (labeled "rear").

Hey, I also called Pep Boys and they said the starter will probably be in today. I'm crossing my fingers!

After work I started prepping my car for Rotorfest on Sunday. I was hoping to wash it and polish the chrome exhaust tips on my MindTrain Big Throats muffler...heheh. Well it was easier said than done. I tried two of the best chrome polishes that I know of Simonize and Mothers. Now I'm not afraid of some elbow grease, but, the corrosion and discoloring was not going away. I spent an hour and barely made a dent.

Off to rx7club.com to see if anybody had any advice. There wasn't too much so I tried Google. After about 15 minutes I found a link that mentioned steel wool or brillo pads. I thought this was a bit drastic. I decided to try it anyway. So I started on one of the less visible parts under tip. I put some Simonize on the 0000 steel wool and bingo! It worked! After doing most of the tips I noticed that the finished parts were a little hazy. After finishing the rest I hit it all again with Mothers and that seemed to bring out the shine a bit. I'll have to look at it in better light.

So there you go, if you have some nasty corrosion on chrome reach for the 0000 steel wool and some polish :-) I couldn't go to Rotofest with my mindtrain exhaust looking like crap now could I?

So the 4th of July has come and gone. Good to see my relatives again.

I'm going to Rotorfest this weekend if the weather holds out. Looks good so far. :-) Last year I had a party to go to before so I didn't get there until late and it was practically over. Two hour ride for nothing and I took a non rotorhead with me. This time I'm getting there early.

I ordered a starter from Pep Boys. It was about $70 plus the core charge. So, if I take back the old one they will give me $35. I'm a little worried that it won't be here in time. I guess that isn't too big of a deal. I can always push start it if I have to :-(

On a side note I would like to clean the car up. I'm planning on using the clay bar system on it. I'm hoping that won't take too long. Wash with dish soap detergent & water, clay bar it, then wash again, and finally wax it. I'm thinking this is goiing to take a while. The problem is that I don't have much time to do it. Oh well, life is fun when you have a family and too many hobbies.
