Oh snap lol... I've contacted you before about LED work in fact //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Well I love the car! I hope to someday at least s/c mine. Auto ***** won't really like the turbo too much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

But you may hear from me in a month or two about LED work again, I'm looking to have a LOT done in my car... either by you or Trung.

Again, beautiful ride //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Cool man, Trung is a good dood. He is in cali so if your close, he is the quickest path to getting rid of the hideous amber color.

Haha, well I'm all the way on the east coast, Maryland, so you'd actually be a closer run most likely. I might work up the balls to do it on my own, but we'll just see about that.

And yes, the amber is killing me. I've got a blue OEL head unit, blue dome lights, blue cold cathodes under the seats, and NASTY amber gauges. BTW, how did Trung pull off that color changing needle as you rev the engine? I think that's sick as hell... he must have user transparent vinyl right?

Sorry for imposing on your thread though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Hahahaha, the last three posts are all tC owners from SL gathering on another forum... what are the odds.

 

[desertheat 10+ year member]

Actually I did the first color changing needles *LOL* I still do them on occasion, about 15-18 color changing needles done so far. I use transparent vinyl to make the effect as in this video.. 2ND vid I moved the tach needle slow by hand so you can see the color change in detail.

OOO that makes me giddy lol

You might end up doing that on mine man... if you were willing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm gonna try to do one of your two tones with blue and white, needles that go from blue to white as the speed/rpm increase... I'm obsessed with blue I think //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Cool, let me know

 

[Thedeadly1 10+ year member]

have you ever tried the 1/4 with it? looks great man, im sure the car could rip some low-mid 13's easy

 

[desertheat 10+ year member]

Tried one time on the 235/45/18 azenis at 18 psi. Have a vid someplace. Was the most goofy time slip and worst 60' & 330 I have ever run. I spun hard through the top of 3rd with smoke all the way through 3rd. Cannot launch this car to save my life. Just does not hook up. Turbo is a 3076R with a .62 turbine. She spools quick for a larger frame turbo. I nail full boost at 3800rpm, torque peaks at 4,150. Comes on so fast an strong it just rips the wheels loose as the power delivery ski ramps to that point.. Hell just will post the last dyno so you see what I mean. Top end is fantastic.

Anyways for the track numbers

2.6xx 60'

6.9 somthing 330

And I still tripped the lights at 13.8 @ 109mph hahaha! When I got back to the lanes, the official looked at the slip and asked how the hell did I trap that speed with that 330' haha. I know she has a high to mid 12 in her with that trap speed / crappy launch.

That was with the system in at about 250lbs.. my guess anyways and 3/4 tank of gas "was not planning to run that night.

On febuary 10th in tucson they are having a car show / sport compact drag race event so I am going to give it another go. Trying to get slicks to get this **** tail dragger to hook up.
