Photo bombing a recent photo shoot i was doing for a client and his car collection. Picture above is a Original Ford Cobra, worth a little over a million dollars.


Also got the cops called on my mustang yesterday after coming home from work. I guess my Stang is "Too Loud" and its a ongoing thing lol. I took it as a complement, surprised it took this long.

You get awesome shots man! Always a pleasure looking at your pics!

I like the back drops and how crisp your car looks. I gotta drive an hour to get away from stupid telephone poles lol. I have one pic that i counted 19 telephone poles in :mad:

Had my Mac Pro Chamber for little over a year now, so now its time for some change. Called up Mac Performance and ordered just the X section to replace the Pro Chamber.

Hopefully get it installed next week.

So far i think i like it, I feel like i hear some drone from it that i did not have with a pro chamber. Its really comes alive with the cutouts open and is a lot louder..

Speed bumps are really messing up the passanger side of the Mid pipe.

Need to order some new rear tires next.

[MENTION=11896]ttocs[/MENTION] or anyone else who has a good idea

Cant seem to find a good place to mount my Cole Hersee 48530 Isolator..

Got my 2nd battery in the trunk, bought this Isolator over a year ago been putting a charger on the battery every few days and its getting old..

Any ideas on where to mount one?

its an solenoid/isolator that disconnects the batteries when the key is off to prevent them from fighting each other and draining one another. When you add a 2nd battery you are really supposed to go buy 2 batteries that match and install them both as well as this isolator but many people cheap out and just get one and add it to a half dead first battery and then no isolator. When one battery is stronger then the other the lower one will act as a drain or try to charge itself from the good battery. That drags the good one down but until its half dead they will "fight" each other electrically and you end up with a dead battery.

Best place to put the isolator is on the power wire leading up to them where its easy to split them off. I have my batteries in the trunk and have the isolator in the back seat area and then the power wires split off from there.


I added a switch on my console so I can use both batteries to start with if I need to just in case the starter battery is dead.

For some reason last night i was thinking i had to run 2 cables to the trunk to be able to put the isolator in the trunk...

I already have a 4 gauge cable from the engine bay to the trunk, can i just fuse/breaker each end of that cable and be fine with putting the isolator in the rear, then add a fuse/breaker between the isolator and the trunk battery?

you would probably be better off and easier to to put it up front. You need to run one wire from the alt to the isolator, then from there another power wire to each battery fused as close to the battery as possible. You would be better off upgrading to 0 awg on the run from the alt to the isolator but its not extremely important if your not running some kind of high current system.

I dont know about easier to put up front, but i have to add a cable from the alternator to the isolator?
