^ nice Stephan.

Also a few days ago, there is this bum, who wanted some money for crack (also a local member) so he sold me his pioneer headunit and helped me install it.
We also installed the EDFC Controller and comptech strut bar.







I also tried doing a little photoshoot that night but didnt come out to good




This picture has a lot of potential, but I didnt have any lightning in the front.

Wow that interior looks gnarly! Now all you have to do is replace the cluster for the auto seat heater controls with the 6-speed tray.

^ Thats where the EDFC is. Which leads to my question:

How did you fit the EDFC in there with the shift cables?

I bought the whole kit like that. It was already mounted in that spot.
Who ever made it only fabricated front screen of the edfc on there and then extended the wires to the module so it could be put some where else.
Not the location I'd have gone with but it couldn't be undone.

Jacob - I had the original 6 speed piece there but had to replace it with this piece.

One bad thing about it is that I can't open my ash/coin tray any more. I'll have to take it apart again and do some cutting in there

yea its an escort passport. I like it fine. The only time i got a ticket with it was when i ignored it because i didn't think i was speeding. (i was going 10 over)

Obviously it doesnt tell you what direction the radar is coming from, but ive had the V1 in the past and i honestly like the Escort better.

just curious if you think it would be possible to mount a wideband gauge in the sunglass holder or the "not an ashtray" ashtray.

Sunglasses holder would be a bad idea cause its up too high.

I think the wideband should be in clear sight to where you dont have move your eyes away from the road much , which is hard to do in our cars since they dont even make a pillar pod for it. They do sell those pods that go over the steering column cover.

what my guy did was he scanned the original plates.
Then lazer cut it on to the 3M CF Vinyl, called DI-NOC. wrapped my original plates in shiny white vinyl and then layed the DI-NOC on top of that. I asked him to take out the texas map out line and he used different Fonts for "CLS36", which definitely looks better than before.

we've been going crazy with this Di-Noc stuff.

I wrapped my laptop with it


back of my blackberry


me and my buddy also wrapped his SL65's wood trim with this stuff and holy shit it came out BAD ASS. i'll post pictures of that soon.

after the tune, it put down 250 at the wheel, before i installed the 3" all the way. I cant remember the name of the dyno, but they were also saying that dyno usually shows lower numbers than other.

^possibly.

I bought another full lipkit. I already had sides, so I started working on those while i wait for the other to arrive.

This side is pretty much done, just needs to be glued and then body work and paint.
