laak, good job for doing this on your own. These cars are not complicated and you'll find that once you get it done, it's not so bad.

One tip I would have is take pictures of everything. When I took everything outta my car, I have LOTS of pictures of the stock parts before I took them off. Even clamps and piddley stuff, I took pictures of it. That way you can always consult a picture if you aren't sure which way things are supposed to go.

Also, a good mechanic labels and sorts everything. While my friends laugh at how I have everything in baggies and labeled, I'm not superman, I don't know where each bolt goes by just looking at it. And unlike there big box of 100 bolts, if you ask me anything about anyone of the parts, I can tell you exactly what it is and where it goes.

If you want pictures ahead of time for what things will look like, let me know. I got an isht load of em

Btw, morning fochers!

Thanks bolsen. The baggies are a great idea. I usually just set it on some paper and label them because I hate trying to remember...baggies sound better.

Yea. I got one of the rolls of baggies from the grocery store. You know the roll that has about 200 bags and they cost 2$. Worked perfect.

careful with the nano, they are having problems with the screens scratching very very easily.

i have a 3rd gen ipod and it sucks...it dies after about 10 minutes from a full charge....when i bought it, i loved it and it worked fine but over time the battery went all haywire and they wont do anything about it... i guess theres some big lawsuit going through now where everyone that owns a 3G can bring it back and get a nano or something... i hope that goes through

I used to use my PSP for music but the nano is so much smaller it's ridiculous.

The nano screen could scratch easily since it has such a glossy finish. I immediately put some pocketpc screen protector (cut down) on it. I also have the leather case to protect the rest of the body.

I'm not diggin the whole psp phliosphy...buy different dvds and games...I dunno, maybe thats just me.

The games part I could handle, but why buy crappier quality dvds just to watch them on a small screen?

My phone plays tunes and I can convert dvds to 320x420 video to watch on the tiny screen It's just a pain to load music on the memory stick and lug around at the gym and boarding... I'm thinkin the iPod or a different small mp3 player
