Has anyone tried using the old ECU with the additional 7.5 Amp fuse? That would be such a scam if all you needed was a fuse, but they've been selling you a whole new ECU just to get rid of the light warning indicator...

Okay...I'm still on the cheap version of blacking out the light. Why couldn't you just paint the bulb black, or put black silicone over it? Where does the piece of tape go, is it on the back side of the speedo needles? Someone really needs to do a picture DIY for this.

Yup! Last year around July I injured my foot and didnt take care of it. just tried to kind of forget about it and let it heal on its own. Well needless to say it never healed correctly. I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I fractured the top of my foot and torn a bunch of ligaments at the bottom. Not to mention I have a cyst at the bottom as well.

I got 7 injections in to my foot and have to wear this stupid cast/brace for a month. But no stupid foot is going to stop me from working on the car I will be crawling in to that trunk da@@it!

haha no the shots hurt like hell. the last two shots he gave me, he had to wait a little bit after the initial set. I think he waited too long cause the medicine wore off and I felt every bit of it. He prescribed pain medicine but I was told it could mess up your stomache. I am going to hold off on taking anything for now if I dont have to.
