where'd you acquire the laser logo projector? if ebay which seller?

:coolpics:

Thanks. :) The eBay seller was ipandorabox according to my history. Some of the sellers seem to have the wrong picture with the correct text as in a decepticon picture but the drop down said autobot. First time I ordered I thought I was getting autobot but got decepticon instead, so if you're looking for a set of decepticon ones I think I still have them laying in my garage somewhere if you want to buy them off me for free as you just pay me for shipping?

Prosport oil pressure gauge purchased. Ati 60mm vent gauge pod adapter is on it's way so I'll install the gauge when it arrives. When I was testing it I forgot to put my red plastic battery cover thing back on. I was driving around with it flopping around and didn't know it until I was almost to my driveway and smelled nasty burnt plastic smell. I pulled into my garage and noticed I forgot the plastic thing. The red plastic melted on the 2nd cat and fell out somewhere, leaving a red wax like look on part of the 2nd cat. I looked down the street and saw the plastic piece and retrieved it. Still fits, but one side is gone! Also couldn't get the cat hot enough to remelt the plastic off of it while sitting in the garage so I guess I'll need to drive it hard and see if it will melt off while driving or pull over and try to wipe it off without burning my hand off.

Tried to install the Prosport performance 60mm oil pressure gauge last night following RallySport Direct's good DIY. Only issue I can across was when I tried to plug in the 1/8 NPT sensor bolt into the engine. It just won't thread! Hopefully Parkrose Hardware can tell me what the difference is and if they have an adapter, if not I either did all that wiring for nothing or my sensor bolt threads aren't good. Jeff at Perrin said it would go in place of the oem sensor bolt. :(

Jeff at Perrin went the extra mile for me yet again. He replaced my Prosport gauge with a better gauge at no charge. He even installed the oil pressure bolt to make sure it went it in this time. I installed the rest in place of the Prosport and it works great. I threw the prosport away in frustration and because I reused some of the wiring. I'll post pictures up on the main thread.

How are you liking your Diode Dynamics products? Those two specifically are on my list for "things to do in the winter time". Great build and keep up the work!

I like them. If I didn't get them for cheaper than retail I would have just waited until one of the lights went out instead.

interesting build!

Removing some parts from the car as I'm considering going back to mostly stock and/or selling the car. Odds are I will keep it and just sell a few things here and there that don't give as much bang for the buck.

So far I sold the Perrin red crank pulley. I don't really notice much at all with vs without.

stockysnail 03-12-2015 06:36 PM

Added a part, black traction control buttons. See first post for a picture and some words about it.

Installed the Diode Dynamics headlight L.E.D. boomerang always on kit/mod and put on the end of the first post.

stockysnail 03-29-2015 02:53 AM

Added a couple videos to the first post of my car at a track day today.

stockysnail 05-01-2015 06:01 PM

Added FRSMod front strut bar. Painted side skirt partially black so it's less GOLD! See first thread for pictures.
