The mineral oil when getting hot creates an oily vapor which in turn , loosened the epoxy mountings… Just an fyi

Is that a bread tie on the air box 😂
So I'm working out of an apartment and don't have access to an outlet. Is there either a safe way to use alligator clips to the battery, or to use a propane soldering iron?
Looks like something I made in highschool….
Can i use incenses?
My issue is the music on this kinda of videos shouldn't be nothing but car noises
👌💯
