  1. My old prelude was Granada Black (Honda OEM colour), had a fine gold pearl in it so looked great in sunlight. Other nice Honda blacks from the same era that I've seen include Pirates black (as mentioned before - has purple/red pearl in it) or Nighthawk black (green pearl in it) These have the bonus of looking completely stock and mirror finish until the sun hits, then they really glow.
  2. I think Max Power did that for Goldie Lookin Chain ages ago, although it still raises a smile
  3. I'm very proud of my career. I came out of uni with a degree but didn't actually want to work in that sector or get a proper job, so bummed around doing admin for a few years in the bereavement office at my local hospital. However, 3 years ago I managed to get a job training as an Anatomical Pathology Technician in the mortuary there, and have recently passed my certificate in it as well. I get lots of satisfaction when I meet families who have come to see their loved ones. Everyone is different in the way they grieve or react to you, but it always seems you are helping them with their grief in some way. The post mortem side of things is also extremely interesting and again if it wasn't for us doing the job, families wouldn't be able to know why their loved one passed away. We also get involved in the high profile cases as well which makes you feel important (although it's not like Silent Witness!!) but again you are helping not only familes out but the police/CSI in solving their cases. I have plenty of opportunity for progressing with my career as I'm now studying towards my diploma which enables me to manage mortuarys, and despite the NHS having budget cuts at the moment, I'm never going to be out of a job!!
  4. It reminds me of when I had a 4th gen prelude, in so much as it it matched the curve of the roof and stuck out over the rear window when it slid open. It wasn't really noticable either, but then mine was black, so perhaps the black sunroof seal on a different coloured car would be more noticable. Personally I always liked having one, and I find it funny if I get in a car without one. So I guess if I didn't already have an aerotop, then I'd like a sunroof in the supra (but again, only if it matched the curve of the roof)
  5. Good advice, and not to be too morbid, but I've seen quite a few young people who have died from PEs, so make sure you either drink lots and walk about (aspirin helps too as it thins the blood to reduce clotting), or wear compression socks

    My Amp Install

    I'll direct people to this thread when they are convinced that their stock HU will be enough for their speakers :-) Glad you are now realising the full potential of Rainbow
  7. You can buy wipers with built in washer systems from ebay, I had some on my prelude when I had the jets removed and they worked fine Can't remember exactly what they're called but there is a big seller of single wiper conversions on ebay that sells them too
  8. Cool, I only have 28 results on google and they are all related to me on facebook or myspace pages I like having an unusual name However, I'm not famous
  9. Did you leave them wet for a while? I found that when I cleaned one of mine and left it in the washing machine, it disintergrated because of that. You really need to get them in an airing cupboard after cleaning
  10. I used to collect NES and SNES games/consoles, but sold a load of recently as I was playing most of the games on my Wii or emulator on PC so they were taking up space The only real thing I guess I collect is Green Day records/CDs, i.e. coloured vinyls, radio promos, foreign versions etc. Got just over 100 items all different. Would like to say I collect guitars too but that is a lot more expensive and takes up too much space, hence I've only got 6 at the moment!
  11. Reg Transfers are quite good as well The DVLA is fine for plates they own and are selling on (or old year letter ones that have gone out of circulation), but there are loads out there where companies like elite act as the middle man between the current owner and yourself, so they have quite a lot of stock.
  12. This is why I only buy from Car Audio Direct, they are affiliated with a car audio forum I'm on and have never let me down. They email my delivery date and even text me on t he day of delivery with my 2 hour delivery slot so I know to be in, great service Guess it doesn't help you now but maybe for future reference?
  13. Stupid question, but how does your bonnet latch shut as it seems your slam panel plate covers the OEM mounting points
  14. I've got a firefox addon called easy youtube downloader (or something like that) which gives you a download link on any youtube page you're on

    Im an idiot !!

    I've done a similar thing, reversed out of a drive onto a road to 'show off' to a mate, planted it, but hadn't flicked it from R into D, so scraped the underside of one of my spats on the curb behind me. Wasn't noticeable at all but still made me cringe!
  16. Is this free? Might have to give it a download if it is. Still loving Robo Defence though, that's another one of the best games I've found on Android
  17. I still sing that song to my cats, how sad am I?
  18. I thought it was funny, but then I love the 80s
  19. I wanted either a Skyline or Supra when I changed my car, had to be an aero too after seeing how cool it looked in the film. Definitely swayed me towards getting a Supra
  20. On my alarm you press the fob before you turn the car off, then press it to lock it, and the internal sensors are deactivated. Can't remember the make of my alarm at the mo though! But I'd assume if you have an aftermarket alarm it'll have the option somehow
  21. Well if we're all rubbing it in..... http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/315/201008301107.jpg To be honest I never knew how rare they were, kinda glad I have one now!
  22. Looks like a bizarre version of a Diversity dance routine!
  23. +2, awesome done like this. Then maybe with honey on for afters

  25. That is a bargain for the gennys, even with the dustcap pushed in. Are the tweeters included as well though?
