these smileys are funny! well heres what i did! look at pics! first one was a just a mess and had corrosion all up and down them! even after grease. so i said screw it. ill replace them. cost me $6 and an hour of my time... ran into problems. so first things first. i LOVE the look of the way the new terminals clean up my engine. sure i had to use longer cable for the amp, but what ever. i put a pretty gold terminal on there now. but so now the problems. the 1st problems were cutting off the old wires. pain in the ASS! so i cut them and put grease on the terminals. so then had to take the bare wires and screw put them in between the terminal and top plate. once i got it and twisted it one tight i undid one side and put my kc wire on there and tightened it back on, then undid the other one after i put the preety gold terminal. so now the negative! well as you can see there is now a red cable on there. thats the chassis ground. look at yours. its TINY!!!! i couldnt get it to stay next to or on top of the other ground wire cause of its size. so i said screw it and took it off... HA! i took the whole bolt out cause the nut didnt wanna come off. so then i cut off the wire and terminal for it. left it cause it didnt wanna come off and soldered my own terminal to the 4... 8 gauge cable. same as amp cable. and WAALAA! she works like a champ and is now PRETTY! o and heres a secret. a little grease goes a long way!


i'll take a pic tomorrow in day light so you can see all the work i did!

Ordered the Old-school NES Nintendo for under the pass set, sent the 13" flip down with dvd back for the 15" flip down with dvd, ordered Blades of steel (best hocky game ever made), TMNT game, Q-bert (long story but I was told it was required by the boss), and Top gun games for the NES.
oved 12" portable dvd/monitor to the front (Sits nicely over the bin covering the ashtray and can be plugged into the cig lighter for power). Still too cold to put the CAI on.
