no it wont drain your battery.. i dont think a relay is necessary aslong as you use decent gauge wires as the windows draw a few amps...
but a fuse is a must..... |

i bought some wiring today but only enough to run to the windows from the centre, and a tool to put some ends on and an inline fuse for the main power line, but havent bought a main power line yet as wiring is expensive and im running oober low on money this week

And it goes very very hard at least you have a vx, aparently the vt's with the first of the 5.7's werent very good? i drove a nice family sedan vt 5.7 with the autotragic behind it and i drove a 6 speed vu ute(vt ute) and it had about 250,000 on it and hadnt been looked after and the auto had only done 130,000 and been very well kept, to be honest the auto one put a smile on my face and the manual one was just an absolute pig to drive, hated it, was better off driving the au 5 speed we had at the car yard then the v8 ute haha also ive filled my tank with 95 octane from the kwikEmart  servo that has the good petrol and ill tell you how i go on it, then ill try their 98

yeah definatly wouldnt bother with a ba, there would be no point updating from the el to a ba because its the same gbox(manual or auto), heavier car, diff needs a rebuild every 100k,
rust out around the boot among other places aswell, and all youv gained is an engine that would cost more to mod to get power out of anyway. some guy told me there was an xr6t getting another engine and being sold for 7g, but the reason the engine had blown was from the boost being wound right up and it was only a 5 speed anyway so you could imagine what condition the poor old t5z woulda been in

Paint cleaner removes oxidized paint and light swirl marks Polish then wax I have a black car and did the above minus the clay bar 2 months ago and wash every month. Dirt rinses off with a blast of water every 2 weeks or as needed clay bar probably wouldnt hurt, which order should i do it in, clay bar first or paint cleaner?
