Thanks. It looks better at full resolution where you can see the details of each hair. I got it printed in a 16" x 24" size for my sons room... most people who come over and see it don't believe that I took it. It was taken at the San Diego Safari Park back in 2011.

Alternators are simple as long as the belt tensioner is easy to access and there is ample room to work - since you would have to remove the belt. I recently changed the belt on my Acura and there is little room... by little room, I mean that a standard 3/8" drive ratchet and socket for the belt...

I've never metered a running vehicle to see what the draw is (would want to do it without the alternator feeding back into the electrical system), but overall there aren't a TON of electrical things...lights, ignition system, A/C, radio, etc. unless you are talking about a hybrid or electric...

Yeah, there are a few things that I've definitely hired out... a plumbing leak in my house being one of them. I also stay away from some of the major automotive engine work. I don't mind doing things like brakes or other routine maintenance... I replaced the master and slave clutches on my...

I'm currently using a Canon 50D, but I'm starting to reach some of the limitations of the camera and really want to upgrade. I just got done borrowing a Canon 5D Mark III for 2 weeks and loved it... I just dont have $3,400 to spend on one right now.

I certainly won't claim to be an expert on OEM alternators, but from what I've seen I believe most of them are 70-100A output. You may be able to get a good ballpark by entering your vehicle information into an auto parts website (i.e. AutoZone) and searching for replacement alternators. With...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Since the discussion has mainly been car audio, I'll share one of my flagship installs: I think this is the first time that I've noticed how dirty the bumper was when I took that picture... that's a sign of the detailing bug right? ;) Since the economy...

Art, First I'll say that I've installed Pioneer HUs since I started years ago, but I've never used their speakers, subs, or amplifiers unless a customer brought them in. There is nothing wrong with them today, actually they are pretty good, but back when I started they were terrible. Alpine...

Titled because I'm starting to think that I may have a problem ;) My involvement with 'hobbies' generally gravitate from being very green with little knowledge to reading forums and books until I could probably start a business. That said, I honestly do a LOT of different things (which probably...

2,000+ free Wordpress themes here: WordPress › Free WordPress Themes I have yet to purchase a Wordpress theme. However, I have been looking into it for photography (another hobby of mine) which has various theme developers who cater to that specifically in terms of theme development...

BTW: A hosted domain (that you pay for) will allow you to have personal email accounts, such as: your_name@your_domain.com Additionally, you will have control over your entire directory of hosted space. If you want to make a folder there for whatever, you can do it and put whatever files you...

I'd suggest that you look into Wordpress (.org). Wordpress (.com) offers wordpress sites (I believe for free), but there are limitations to what you can do, and what themes you can install (see more below). Most people are familiar with it from a blogging perspective, but it has the ability to...

I noticed that too ;)

This is exactly the type of response I was looking for when I was asking about what products would work better on each vehicle and it's respective color. I know I've read about various waxes being better for deeper colors like blacks or reds, but really had no idea what may work better for...

I'll read through all that thread in the morning... Not to dismiss the information, but I do a fair amount of woodworking and own a decent amount of Porter Cable and Delta tools (under the same corporate umbrella since 2000); I just had a 12' x 24' workshop built to do more (picture below)...

What do you think I am over thinking or over complicating? I think I said the same with regard to beginning with the least aggressive and moving up from there as needed. As you mentioned, if the paint cleaner doesn't satisfy me, I'd move up to a fine polish with a polishing pad, etc. The only...

Regarding the paint, that's about what I figured... I guess I wasn't sure if there would be any different products suggested for the silver vs. blue pearl. But as you said, I'm sure the products are more than suitable. I've certainly understand the reasoning for doing test spots and such...

Understood. The imperfections I am speaking of are very minor (to me anyway). I know plenty of people who would never notice them. I figured it would be best to start with something of minimal cutting power, and move up from there as needed. I'll definitely do some searching for some of those...

So I'm certainly a new member and poster, but I've been doing a lot of reading and researching over the past 6 months or so. I'm a hobbyist detailer and just looking for some suggestions for personal use. I've got two vehicles that I'm planning to keep for a while... 1) 2004 Acura RSX; Vivid...
