$30 keyless entry - Easiest bang for buck project yet

Bought a generic Amazon kit, which came with inline 15amp fuses for the 12v power and lock signal, 2 hours later and I am not sweating breaking off another key in my door / trunk.

Edit: I bought this one - keyless entry link

I used the trunk wiring, someone will yell at me because I didn’t go under the drive side footwell speaker panel, but I lock my car through my trunk already and I have fuses on the module, so this can’t be worse than my current locking procedure.

Module side - E30 wiring harness

Red with 15a fuse - Antenna power wire (red)
White with 15a fuse - lock (green and black)
White and black - unlock (green and purple)
Black - ground (brown)
Yellow - ground (brown)
Yellow and black - ground (brown)

Sport Seat repair and re-dye to cardinal red

My original interior was torn up comfort cloth. I assembled black door cards, tan front sport seats, and stained tan rear seats, and decided to go with one color. My E30 is Delphin Gray, so I figured cardinal red would be a perfect match.

Figured I’d share this here, the result has been fantastic, and it was relatively cheap ($350) for the supplies. You will need an air compressor and paint gun though to spray the dye.

I have sweated on these seats in 106F heat and it didn’t lift the dye after about 48 hours of drying, so I am thrilled with the result.

I used leatherique and provided them with the cardinal red interior color code. If anyone has any specific questions feel free to ask.

Just adopted two kittens out of a stray litter, want to make sure I’m being a good dad

So I just received two kittens from a stray litter, and they were here for about 5 days when I saw a flea crawl across one of their tummies while rolled over.

I tried to do as much research as possible and called a few friends that work at animal hospitals for advice.

I immediately went out, got advantage II for kittens (they’re 10 weeks old), and applied it, and sequestered them to a bathroom with only a towel, their litter box, and dishes to deal with the rest of the place.

Following that I vacuumed every single surface (couches, their tree, my area rug), sprayed the pet safe raid on their tree, spread diatomaceous earth dust around the base boards (and carpet then vacuumed ~8 hours later). Everything washable got a round on the hottest washer and drier setting.

I went around with a powerful automotive inspection light and couldn’t find any other adults or flea dust pre / post vacuum.

24 hours later after the application, I gave them a dawn bath, went through their fur with a flea comb, and only came up one with adult flea that I could see.

Are there any other steps I can take for now to make sure they continue to be happy and flea free, or is it just a waiting game until their next application of topical flea medicine?

Thank you!
