finally got my dome light built.

the old sprengboard high output light:

always bothered me that it only lit up the middle of the housing.

eyeballed the layout

soldered

pretty

just a touch brighter!

New bumper and wing

love the clean look of the full bumper replacement vs add on lip kits. Paint shop did a great job with paint matching as well!

Yeah they did. It's not 100% but then the car is a daily for 4.5 years now and there is a bit of fade inevitably

Nothing a little polishing can't fix.

Planning to clear bra the bumper?

RToyo86 · 07-31-2021, 11:05 AM

Wash and visited a friend who finally decided to rebuild his engine after letting it sit for a couple years.

Fixed the clutch pedal squeak thanks to @Ultramaroon post

It was extra squeaky this morning after rainfall and had somebody look at me when I grabbed the clutch in a parking lot

I probably should... I probably won't lol. How much does it cost anyway? And is it effective in snow and salt?

It's effective in the winter as well. Mine is pretty beaten up after 82000km. I want to replace mine after 3 1/2 years. I'll be curious how the bumper looks under the film.

New Exedy stage 1 clutch with new TOB and Verus fork and pivot. Borla UEL header to match my existing Borla axelback. Beck free-flow catted front pipe. OFT stage 2 tune with E85. I had been running E85 before, so didn't expect much gain from the header and pipe. BIG surprise. Significant gain. Car takes off like a jackrabbit that sat in a puddle of kerosene. I was concerned about noise from the Beck and almost left it out, but it's not bad at all. A little drone on deceleration, but acceptable. The tune was ragged for first 10 miles or so, with idle wandering from 1200 to 500. Then it settled down to a steady 800 and power curve is linear and smooth.
It's a different car now.

What's that in pre-revolt British colonial units?

Like 12 or something, right?
