That's what that was.
Sadly links go out of date so quickly I've basically given up maintaining the links page. Not really relevant these days any with the Google. |

If making money online was as easy as a few tips, everyone would be doing it. Unless you consider just the old fashioned ways of making money that have moved online (selling on eBay, making stuff for Etsy, etc.) then the only real other way that doesn't involve selling something is to have a large and interested audience to which you can run advertising. But it takes a large number of people, at least 10,000 a day, to make it worthwhile. Building up that community is where the labor is.
Then again, there's always porn. Porn seems to make money. |

If you don't have the time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over? |

Hey Aaron, first off, I want to apologize again for unintentionally spamming you via the "report dead links" feature on your links page. I finally got around to pulling my 1990 (non-turbo) RX7 out of storage and although I didn't realize how much work I had left on the car, I am looking forward to having the car ready for spring now that I am almost finished my two stroke racing bike project. Quick question regarding carpeting...do I need to actually pull the dash to replace the carpet or can I just unbolt it and pull it an inch or two for clearance?

Interesting...That looks like a very old 12A, early '70s at least. The Ro80 was indeed a very odd car and it's kind of a shame they've swapped the engine. It also sounds like those two blokes don't really know what they're talking about. High quality wiring? You mean exposed connections, no relay sockets, fuse boxes in the engine bay? That's my definition of something that would leave you on the side of the road. And an oil control ring squealing? In what reality does that happen? If the oil control ring was damaged then the car would smoke like a chimney. It's also kind of funny that they had to warm the car up so it would start easily... |

I just had to post this one.
I heard it on the radio and then decided to go track it down.
Such a great sounding song and excellent music video.
They're Australian twins and they've been making music for about 13 years now.

Fuk, I just can't over this song.

Sorry, this message kind of got lost and I just saw it now. It's been a busy few weeks.
If you intend to remove the carpet in once piece then you must pull the dash. However since this is a huge pain in the ass, I have never done it just to remove the carpet. Cut a slit down the carpet under the dash where it humps over the transmission tunnel and then you can pull it out. When you put it back in, you can tuck the carpet back under the dash and no one is the wiser. Also use a little contact adhesive on the transmission tunnel.

This is indeed a disturbing development; YouTube is currently down, at least for me. Ping, but no HTTP response. |

Brother please! A man with as much talent and as many awesome projects as you, does not need to apologize to a scrub like myself. But I appreciate the gesture all the same and really it is no big deal as it is obvious you are a busy dude. The fact that we are lucky to have access to a brain like yours over this forum in my opinion is priceless. So without further adieu here are a few updates from your favourite Torontonian midget:
I was working on a write-up that I promised you guys months ago measuring the lux emitted from two different LED bulb replacements for my motorcycle signals. My concern is that they are obviously not as bright as conventional bulbs but I didn't have any way to obtain a qualitative measurement considering the light meter in my old Canon AE1 left me with inconclusive results via its antique analogue meter so I went and purchased a 200,000 LUX digital light meter off ebay for just over 10 bucks:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/200-000-Lux-Digital-LCD-backlight-Pocket-Light-Meter-Lux-FC-Measure-Tester?item=251109080870&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D2084406605202034228#ht_4230wt_902
I hope to get a more accurate reading on the amount of luminous flux emitted from these white 45 and 90 SMD LED bulbs using this cheap ebay meter and then I want to compare the brightness of the white LEDs through amber signal lenses and then amber bulbs through the same signal lens.
Regarding my RX7, in honour of Aaron's RX-Tina, I am going to name my car Katrina because I got the car back when Hurricane Katrina hit and my basement flooded with the torrential rainfall we got at the same time as Katrina was beating on the Atlantic regions. The main reason (aside from a really nasty flood cleanup and subsequent insurance claim) the car has been neglected so long since is probably because I was dreading the carpet replacement with the dash removal and all, but with the guidance of all your ancient Mazda wisdom, I am going to rip that carpet out tonight. The last thing I did to the car before putting her in storage was a new stage 2 racing clutch and welding new floor panels to replace the old rusty ones. My plan is to clean up any remaining oxidation on the floor panels before POR15'ing the whole floor. I also have a seat mount that has to somehow be cut out because the bolt stud that holds the seat rail looks like it completely rotted out. I will take a pic and will need to illicit your gnarly and most anticipated opinion on what to do before hacking at it, most probably with a dremel cutting disc. But your work on youtube has really shed some light on fixing up these old birds so I am confident with your guidance I can do this! Especially the dry ice segment for removing the tar off the floorboards, priceless knowledge I tell ya, all thanks to you Aaron. Around the same time I put the car in storage, I was able to locate some mint stock seats and two new doors with power locks and windows, which got painted with the rest of the car before she went into storage. Its just too bad I didn't see the clip you made that converted manual windows to power windows before going through all the trouble, but I had already proceeded with getting the new doors mounted and painted them before I saw your clip on the power window mod using the manual window internals....brilliant dude!
So for a more complex and arduous method for adding power windows to your RX, see the following link:
http://wright-here.net/cars/rx7/mods/power_windows.html
Other than that....sorry for the freakin' novel here! Talk to you guys soon....hope you and our Australian syndicates are all well!
Peace out
Engin

It will be interesting to hear about your LEDs because this past weekend (at EVFest in Toronto) there was a vendor selling LED headlights. It appeared to be just a round board with about 75 LEDs on it. Needless to say, I was slightly skeptical...
I've had to fix the rotted seat mount issue in my RX-7 years ago. Mine was caused by the bolt snapping off upon removal, and then a very poor attempt at drilling and tapping out the hole. Of course the tap broke, so the only option left was to cut out part of the mount and weld in a new piece. Come to think of it, I believe that was my first sheet metal repair and it took an entire weekend.
The easiest way to add power windows to an SA/FB/FC is to just buy the power window regulators. They bolt right into the non-power doors. Then you can rig up your own switches and harness (that's what I did when I added power windows to Tina) or use the factory stuff (but the switches suck). |

Aaron Cake is the Mazda Guru! Thanks man....we are not worthy!!!
Also, your eminence....for LED headlights (spot or flood) you might want to check out this guy, sells out of the U.S.
http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-QualiRegResou/StoreFront.bok
There is a full thread of 2700 posts regarding these specific lights here:
http://advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=607184
The lights are primarily used on motorcycles but are getting very good reviews based on their design, durability and relatively low power consumption in comparison to filament bulbs. I am planning on getting a set for my Kawasaki this December. |

Am I the only one a little weirded out by that picture? It's nice and all, but yeah.
Did you take pictures at EVfest this year? Or was it pretty much the same as last year? |
If you don't have the time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over? |
