Wow man, how'd you get the car to idle at zero?

You should fix that dent by the hatch! It's the only imperfection to perfection! Car looks good, I want your dash, wheel and shift knob.

[solo_ryder]

Haha, I think the tach signal wire is effed. I may need to make a jumper wire for it.

And yea the "Dent". I will get it pulled this spring. I am just super relieved that the car is finally running!

[SmoothMX3]

Just awesome Solo!
I tend to forget you have you're own things to worry about other then me bothering you every 5 mins. about something on my car. haha
Keep up the always good work man. You know I'm ready to see some vids of you riding out.

[solo_ryder]

Look what I just got in the mail



Time to cook off these lenses and paint the guts! Here is the progress on that:






And the finished product. ITS ABOUT TIME!

Congrats on the running!!!
how did you get it going?

[Daninski]

Yes lets hear the fix.

[solo_ryder]

Well it was a combo of things. A short in the wiring harness and a bad disty. Shes running now and fast as hell, peels a 20ft burnout in 2nd with a hard shift. Even with the stock k8 ecu.

[ooELMOoo]

I can't wait to come up and look!!!

[solo_ryder]

Pics up of painted UK lights!

[Savin]

You didn't waste any time with getting those painted! Awesome job! Can't wait to see them installed on the car.

Nice, I thought freakin UPS is going to lose the package.. idiots

[projectzemx3]

yeah those headlights look mint. are the euro headlights the same as the usdm ones? whats all different?

[solo_ryder]

They are WAY different.

- The lens is glass not plastic
- They use a 2 peice design inside (reflector and housing). USDM is one peice
- The headlight is one piece on the outside, there are no stupid a-- metal brackets and alignment BS. That is because the USDM lights need to adjust the whole light. The EDM/JDM adjust the reflector housing inside, so the lights always fit perfect.
- They use H4 lights instead of 9004 bulbs
- They look 10x better

Buy my JDM set if you are interested in better lighting and better looking lights. The lenses are plastic, but that is the only difference between the UK ones and the JDM ones. The plastic is very clean though and does not yellow as much as the USDM stuff does.
