Getting the Angel back in the Devil.
This kit was super-easy to install, thanks to a detailed walk-through from FastM.com. I should have put these on the car years ago.
Pull the sidemarkers and trim from the headlights out. Then remove the clear lenses.

You’re left with a wide-eyed looking headlight.

Clip the angel eyes to the headlight.

Make sure it is hella flush approved.

(Not pictured) pull the wiring through the rubber boot in the back of the headlight housing and wire up accordingly.

Searchlights aren’t this bright.

Both sides wired up.

All the lenses and trim buttoned back up and ready to go. My driver-side headlight was shattered where Austin and I collided… so this was a good time to epoxy it back together.

My point-and-shoot does these things ZERO justice. They look awesome, and they are SUPER bright.

THE CULPRIT.
Took the car up to Foerst Motorwerks today… it looks like the heat-shrink fell victim to the severe heat of the TMS World Challenge headers. The wiring for the O2 sensors came in contact with itself, which explains the intermittent nature of the problem. It was SERIOUSLY a pinhole size hole in the heat-shrink.
WORST. TIMING. EVER.

I bought some new Bosch O2 sensors, and Matt got it all wired up and back in running order. I haven’t tried to pull those ABS fuses again to allow use of my MAX hydro-brake… I will wait until after the event on Saturday to mess with it. The car seems to be running in tip-top shape… AND – the SES light is OFF?!?!

Old Nokia Pictures.
I stumbled across my old Nokia 3650 which had a 16mb SD card in it. To my surprise… it had a slew of old photos and video on it from around 2002-2004. A fun trip down memory lane for sure.
My best friend Hooman when he was working at United BMW in Roswell.

Random shredded Bridgestone at GTE.

My Corolla preparing to fail emissions miserably.

My car on the lift at the OLD Batlground Engineering.

One3 Creative computer upgrades.

My good friend Michael at Jack in the Box after GT Live in 2004.

My 330i loaner car and Jason Greene’s ‘64 Impala outside the old One3 studio.

My Corolla feeling sleepy the night I bought it.

On stage the last night I played with my old band: Katapolt.

New transmission for the e46.

My Corolla… freshly panda’d.


The Autopower rollcage for the e46 that was promptly returned to have a full custom cage built instead.

These photos were in this order on the phone… it looks like the vinyl gets washed off at Cactus Carwash.


Superior erecting. That’s right.

No commentsIf you were to search the pages of any dictionary, you would find that a maven is a connoisseur – a person who has specialized knowledge or expertise dealing with a particular topic.
Though this definition is true, there is much more to being a maven than simply gaining knowledge or experience. True mavens are created by their passion for the subject; after all, relentless passion is the driving force behind the mastery of any subject or skill.
That passion is what drove us to create this site and we look forward to all of the specialized knowledge and experience that you, our fellow Motor Mavens, bring to the table. Email us at (motormavens(at)gmail.com) with any suggestions, contributions or special insights you may have.
