OOH, I was driving No.47 after dark the other day and the stock headlights are lame. Going over to your web site... didn't you have a tech write up on lights somewhere?

I just had differences between LED and HID, kinda like a quick overview. But I will be getting more in dept with the lighting and information as time goes on.

I agree, they are LAME! Going from my Lexus to any other car I have is such a downgrade (in terms of lighting). Its time to retrofit the world! Or at least my cars....

Well, got some good news earlier this month. Redline accepted me to their 2018 Team! I will be running their Motor oil, race oil, water wetter, power steering fluid (its actually ATF), fuel system cleaner, lead additive, possibly brake fluid, and eventually gear oil and transmission fluid.

 

[B.mad]

Been so busy with the retrofit bizz that i havent had time to take the car out. Hopefully it will calm down soon, or i can get some help..

Looks good! I was contemplating ordering his setup as well. How was the install?

Because I did the install differently, it took longer and could be a little more difficult. But basically, I made brackets to mount to the bash bar and gas tank.

How does his instructions mount it? Just looking at the part, I assumed the tank cover and rear bumper reinforcement.

I didn't ask for directions, so I can't answer that. But he provides rivet nuts and bolts. So I assume that you mount it to the bumper cover and gas tank cover.

If you want, I can double check for you on that.

bought some OEM cobras!

Yes. LOL. Really just wanted them because they are OEM.

Haven't really been active on forums or even on my social because I've been doing the business thing. Haven't touched the car, haven't really driven it, and definitely haven't tracked it. So here is basically the run down:


I got rid the hood, bumper, air dam, spoiler. Currently the interior is stripped. It has no headlights. Still battling electrical issues. And leaks. Still has many many issues. Currently, car is over at GTR to get rid of the leaks. Going to fix the power steering cooler. Going to install some gauges and monitor some stuff to see what changes do what. The splitter is still sitting there.


So here are a few things I am messing with, and yes it will be a bit of advertising, sue me later.



1.) I had removed my previous SuperbrightLED corners for some switchbacks that I carry. Switchback is white, and when the turn signal is on, it will turn amber, and when off, it goes back to white. The amber light on the new bulbs are brighter than the ones they replaced.

2.) Got rid of the SVE aluminum radiator and put back stock. And all removed the CCRM bracket and reservoir. Going to relocate elsewhere.

3.) I bought a set of those Euro style headlights a while back after selling my Depo Projectors with the intent to retrofit. This was prior to opening up the business. Finally had some time to mess with the headlights. Right now, they are a part and getting ready for full paint and will be going up for sale soon.

4.) Since getting rid of my vented hood, I had the idea to do my own vents, i.e. cutting big ass holes in the hood to reduce engine bay temps and reduce lift. This is what I had thrown around.

5.) Had some projector lens custom etched for the race car. Here they are with demon eyes.

6.) Originally, I wanted to use the euro headlights until I had time to open up some cobra rep headlights because they are a lot harder. Well, I got them a part sooner than I thought, so i started messing with them. Hence why the euro headlights are going up for sale.

7.) dropped off the car at GTR, about 5 weeks ago, so waiting for that call to pay and pick her up.

As I start getting stuff replaced, things are going to be popping up for sale.


Oil cooler setup
Fan
Brakes
rearend
spindles
front suspension parts
roll bar
audio system
seats and harness
dash bezel
radio bezel
abs module


Things here and there. You'll start seeing things pop up.

So turns out there is a few issues. The timing cover gasket was toast and the culprit for the majority of the leaks. And there might be a leak from the oil pan and rear main seal.

The folks over at GTR fixed the timing cover so I can get back on track! pun intended.

I hate pesky leaks!
