Nice shot Grant.

Nick, I forget, were you still planning on doing the wide fenders, or are you refocusing on just racing the car?

Refocusing on just racing for now. Wide fenders means what, modified class?

CSP would require a lot more mods than I currently have.

It means street cred.

But no, that's cool. Nice to see actual shots of the car.

I'm almost maxed out in ES. Only mods left available are shocks and bumpstops.

Changed the oil today. 6 events and it came out clean.

Also cleaned up the threads on my rear wheel studs. I followed safety switch's advice and got a thread cleaner tool. Worked wonders; lugs actually spin on without a fight.

Rotated my tires front to rear. The lack of ABS is apparent:

I tried painting a strip onto my wheels, cause ricer, but no go.

Gave her one last wash before winter; also some aerosol wax. Tomorrow or Monday I'll take off the RE71Rs and swap on the storage wheel and tire set.

Over the winter, I'll start collecting parts for next race season.

Well I stole the idea from Dylan and installed LED gauge cluster lights:

Nice! How do you like it in person? I bet your itching to do the HVAC lights now.

jellynuts · « **Reply #385 on:** October 15, 2018, 08:04:46 pm »

You guys are going to get pulled over for blinding traffic with your HID clusters.

Ambystom01 · « **Reply #386 on:** October 15, 2018, 08:10:28 pm »

Yes, I'd like to do the HVAC. Seems like more of a pain in the butt. These are crazy bright compared to the stock bulbs. Granted those were likely 28 years old.

jellynuts · « **Reply #387 on:** October 15, 2018, 08:23:31 pm »

Whoa whoa, I never said I hated them. I'm jealous.

Dylan780 · « **Reply #388 on:** October 17, 2018, 02:48:44 pm »

I ordered some LED's for the HVAC and they came in today. If they end up working well and you end up wanting to do them I can throw you a couple. I bought a ten pack and I believe it only uses three.

Ambystom01 · « **Reply #389 on:** October 17, 2018, 05:36:05 pm »

Did you get them from Amazon? I bought a 10 pack for my gauges from Amazon.

It's so cute watching you two play nicely together.

Nobody just up and quits the assay-Man from Asstralia.

I still send him care packages of lightly soiled man panties.

You send him your scarf collection?

Ambystom01 · « **Reply #397 on:** October 19, 2018, 09:57:36 pm »

Only if he pays extra.

Car is still parked until the snow and gravel is gone, but I'm accumulating parts. I installed clear side markers, clear front signals and LED bulbs today:

Dylan780 · « **Reply #399 on:** March 25, 2019, 10:50:18 am »

Where did you order your clear side markers from?

It took me nearly 3 months to track down a set (front and rear) and I had to order them from Australia.
