    My thoughts on the car are it gets good mpg, it corners well, it’s a toyota so it should be reliable but it’s tiny and has the power of a lawn mower.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Like I said, the 1.8 SHOULD have plenty of mods built for it already. And its a well built engine and can take a lot of boost from my remembering. We shall see... Wife needs to get a job first. She might still tell me to buy new so I can save it for the kid in 10 years (holy shit its a long time).

    That's the case in a lot of places. One of my employees has been told to expect mid December to finish...

    1.8 is more than the NA 1495 Ford Cortina I drove 4th hand(parents and both older brothers). Lasted a quarter century through the elements and hormones.

    Which is why you install the conduit roof jacks with the roofing rather than after. It's a dead giveaway that it wasn't. As pictured, the leak will be through the eave instead of the living room but #butt ugly.

    Theres nothing wrong with that solar conduit (so long as its flashed properly at the penetration, which i see a flashing... and solar guys usually butcher roofs in general so im not saying it IS flashed properly but it looks like it from that picture)

    ...but for a post-build solar installation (which is about 90% of solar installs)... that is pretty textbook. Run the conduit from the solar to the inverter then to the box, simple and effective... it just looks unsightly because its a 1 story house and its right there on the front field for everyone to see. Ugly but... nothing wrong and idk how else they would do it without adding more work/money to the job to try and run the conduit through the attic and then through the exterior wall to the inverter. In which case youre opening up more room for error.


    Just my 2c from a roof inspectors point of view tho.

    Looks like they sent you the right ones. The ones I received are the 25w version.

    Edit - I lied. The box is wrong but the light and part number indicate “XP”.

    Mine actually deliver tomorrow.

    You received the 40w instead of the 25w, correct?

    You’re welcome :D

    On the light itself it says “Cannon XP” and on the SKU on the box it also says “XP” which should mean its 40w. But then littered all over the box it says “25 watt”. The box mine arrived in seem older than the ones @Twizted got.

    I’ll post what I get tomorrow. The item does says 40w. Should be easy to verify which by measuring the depth of the light

    Part # says 9893259 which would indicate the 40 watt version. Excellent.

    One thing that surprised me is the “Made in South Korea”. Wasn’t aware South Korea produced such things.

    How many others in here picked up some lights before Amazon adjusted the price?

    I sent it to a buddy and he bought them at that price and Amazon refunded him saying they couldn’t fulfill his order
