    bov question

    Some people like dry-humping (oops firing) their paintball gun. There is nothing wrong with that. Besides... all those movies where they do this are soooooooo cool! :) Happy Friday!

    The best HID low-profile (sleepy) headlight mod for under $500

    Jeff - thanks for bringing that dose of realism back to this conversation. Regular lenses were not designed to house HID bulbs. There is a completely different set of things to take into consideration. This isn't even bringing up the topic of using driving lights as high beams - at least...

    Best tire size for 9.5 inch wide wheels...

    Damn I love google http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/tirespecskey.jsp Rim Width Range Because tires have flexible sidewalls, a single tire size will fit on a variety of rim widths. A tire's rim width range identifies the narrowest to the widest rim widths that the tire is designed...

    Best tire size for 9.5 inch wide wheels...

    If you have a 9.5" wide rim you will want to look for tires that fit a 9.5" wide rim - they have ranges actually. You don't want to stretch a tire that wasn't designed for a rim width. Another calculator that is very helpful is the offset calculator...

    Best tire size for 9.5 inch wide wheels...

    245/45/16 will have your speedo off by 0.7% (actual 59.6mph when speedo reads 60) 235/40/17 will have your speedo off by 1.8% (actual 58.9mph when speedo reads 60) Those 275/40/17s have your speedo off by 3.2% (actual 61.9mph when speedo reads 60)...

    What used for lazy eyes?

    For HID that is PER lens. This is what I have (and have had since 2000) and have been working on. I went HID lows and Halogen highs (no sense in spending that much money on something that I hardly ever use). You can get into the halogen versions pretty easily...

    HKS Tems controller Question

    Ahhh the pretty colors........ mmmmmmmmmmmmm Hell... if you can pick it up for $215 (and wouldn't have advertised that fact here) you could have sold it and made a little profit.

    What used for lazy eyes?

    Some of us want to be able to raise and lower the headlights for regular use though.

    What used for lazy eyes?

    WOW! Someone has done some reading. You will get some blue out of any projector lens no matter what light source is behind it (within reason). Another thing to everyone looking at modifying their headlights. DO NOT USE AUXILIARY LIGHTS AS MAIN LIGHTS! This will endanger you and the...

    What used for lazy eyes?

    Too many people out there are into things because they are cool, and don't care about actual functionality. These people hear "HID" and think "WOW! I gotta get me some of those." These people don't pay attention to the facts about the halogen lenses not being made to handle the HID bulb...

    NSX headlight conversion thread.....reborn.

    BMW 8 series lights are too wide and would require massive customization - I looked into this many years ago. If you are concerned about laser - used almost exclusively here in Portland OR BTW - then you need to invest in the Blinder. I know several people that have these and they all SWEAR...

    Breakdown of how many sold?

    Oh man... It has been so long since I saw that picture of my 89. That has to be my favorite angle of the MkIII.

    What mkiv wheels should i get?

    Daledoe - you probably have the dome caps. Those are standard on the 17" wheels too. The "muffin tin" caps are the alternate caps - usually seen in Europe and Japan from what I've seen. Supra90Turbo - those are the Erebuni side skirts - same as the Kaminari. Very subtle and clean.

    What mkiv wheels should i get?

    woops! you caught me. Wasn't going to let those out yet. :) Changed the link so nobody else could see it easily. Still trying to dig up the uber picture I have - I think it is on the server downstairs but have to do some hefty maintenance before I turn it back on. Yep. Still in PDX...

    What mkiv wheels should i get?

    Powdercoating will create a better surface for cleaning - you would be able to simply wipe them clean. With paint you have to do some scrubbing. Also, if I were to have these rims redone I would make the outer lip polished and only paint the insides. That would also help protect the lip...

    What mkiv wheels should i get?

    you should see it with the alternate (muffin tin) center caps - Even hotter! My favorite picture is the car on the scenic drive to Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas. WOW!

    What mkiv wheels should i get?

    Ask and ye shall receive. The wheels aren't as clean as usual and I didn't put in the centercaps. I have a much better pic somewhere - but it isn't online right now. Having the TT rims in white on a white Supra looks PIMP as hell! Thanks for the compliment swaq. I am actually in the...

    anyone still have an under cover?

    Rushing air will always take the path of least resistance. Think about it... if you were air wouldn't you rather take the quick path downward rather than fighting your way through the fins of the IC then the AC Condensor and finally the radiator? The undercover makes sure that all air that...

    Defi three gauge DIN cluster

    Looking at their site it looks like it only comes in one flavor - one pressure/two temperature. I would like to do the 52mm Defi-Link gauges - http://www.defi-shop.com/product/meter/meter_type.html - get playback with those - just in case you missed the spike while you are concentrating on...
