Modded.... tool box?
I ran out of stuff to do to the car, so I decided to start modding my tool box. I added power terminals (12 VDC), a battery from a UPS which can run my battery chargers if there's no AC power available, a cold cathode light, and the latest addition, a cooling fan.
We all know how hot an xmod can get after you burn down a set of batteries at the track. When the addition of a heat sink didn't cool the car enough for my liking, I decided I needed to add a little something. Next time I'll remember to vac out the dust before taking pictures. There are holes drilled in the box in front of the CC light, which makes the blue glow you see behind the box in the dark shot.
So what have you guys done with your box?

The heat sink is a little aluminum sink that radio shack sells for a buck and change. There's one screw hole in it, and I put a screw through that hole and into the metal xmods heat sink. The ribs in the xmods sink holds onto it pretty well, but I also glued it for good measure. I had to drill another hole large enough for the front screw to pass through in order to take the heat sink off. Mounted as is, it fits right under the lancer body without modification. On my friend's mustang I had to grind the back of the fins down to fit.
Padon the dirt, haven't had a chance to clean it up after my last run.
