ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    I paid about a dollar for my 1/0 terminals they don't look as pretty as screw terminals but they are more solid.

        i think the 1/0 was in the car i just sold, lol i cant find it. i asked my gf where it was as it was referred too as "that bag or wire" and shes like "i think it was in the hatch when we cleaned the garage" lol.

        so now i have too fucking buy some, lol.

        i might just use some 4 since theres really no gain from using anything bigger, and its cheaper.

        does anyone have any suggestions? which terminals, connectors, etc?

          is complete over kill or would it even matter? use it since its free or just sell it and put the money towards buy some new 4 gauge?
          Go for it, and use the 0ga wire. I did that with my cars too... I would rather have overkill than not enough...

              Wow, you didn't comprehend the first post at all... He said he had a bit of 0ga that he didn't know where it came from.

                Then he said it may have been in the hatchback he just sold.
