pretty sure they are just painted bulbs if you pull apart your dash and take the green caps off it comes so much brighter

Cool.. I'll give it a go.

Yeah... just painted bulbs. Got the paint in Japan... has a similar consistency to nail polish (apparently).

The bulbs themselves don't have the little green condoms, but there is a green dome on the other side of the bulb socket, inside the cluster itself. They just pop off.

I love this car mate - what an intelligent choice of car for your gf to drive! It's economical, reliable, fun to drive and I'm assuming sounds pretty cool, it looks fantastic and..... it has a pink motor!! What a lucky girl :cool:

Haha cool man, we all did that back in the day with similar paint, it works really well if you paint it smooth! Do your tail-light globes with a very very light coat of blue and you can have purple tail-lights...

 

We used to drive in convoys on moonlit nights in the Barossa Valley where i grew up with only our green parkers on, it looks great!

Whilst I'm not condoning this kind of behaviour(it was 10+ years ago on my P's), it does feel really good hooting down a road when the moon is bright enough and just following the white lines!

 

My mate had also hooked up his hazard lights to constant, it looked crazy with a my low KE11 in front, showcar gemini in the middle with all its indicators on and awesome MkII Escort 2dr behind! :hmm:

I Like pink bits.

 

Oh car looks good too. Done a good job

Time for a thread resurrection!

 

Its storytime kids :y:

 

The girl I built this car for and I have loooong since parted ways... When we split, she took the car... and proceeded to run it on NON premium fuel (contrary to my express instructions... I think at the time I said to her "This engine runs higher compression and advanced timing, if you don't run at least 95 it will blow up") so two weeks later, it blew up, I got the car back, and she huffed off and bought an AE112.

 

I was pissed... but at least I got my rolla back, so everyone wins :lolcry:

 

SO... The poor thing has been sitting around for over a year after I removed and sold everything useful hanging off the K engine. The rust is coming back with a vengeance... damn tropics.

 

Time to man this little bitch up again with the aid of some twincam testicles. :lolcry:

 

One GZE duly procured...

 

 

Now if I can just find some TIME, I'll get cracking on this thing.

O

nice

Good to hear. Be good to see the progress.

Ahh awesome, very nice indeed. What's the plans for it? Motokhana/drift/thrasher?

 

Would be very fun :)

Stripped out thrasher.. But for grip, not slip.

 

I have a Chaser for the creature comforts... this wee beastie is all about the drive :)

And so it begins. Day one after a late start, followed by an early finish :wink:

 

THIS is how you do it kids.... no f*cking around, just rip the whole bloody lot out.

 

 

And then playing silly buggers with the donor vehicle... Y'know... Just to check the engine etc :wink: (until Teddy overboosted it and blew the FMIC outlet off :(
