Awesome pictures!

Next time you decide to take pictures of a model and a car have your wife pose and not yourself - that will make pictures a lot more better looking

Thanks Thanh...me too
The ones at Ikea were with my phone flashlight...which I realize now is less intense so you have to move faster and take more time to highlight things...the makita led wand is a LOT brighter but also very obvious on the car reflection...gotta make some sort of light shield.

yes, use like a box or a black construction paper to create a snoot for the led light. so you can control the beam

on the plus side, the hose is lookin solid and leak free...just bad luck that this fuckin thing leaks down ONTO that hose end, so it's hard to tell it wasn't coming from it. Joe did call that, though...so thank you.

hose clamps I got were too tight, gonna return em. also, from above the engine, looking down, you can see the hose clamp and other end of that hose, yves...without the sway bar in the way, looks doable...I might order it and replace it and the clamps one time, for peace of mind as cul0 predicted.
Interesting. I might try my luck with it by chilling on the plenum although it's getting cold for car work in Canada. Florida forgot it's fall, we didn't!

Sweet pose at Ikea.

I don't know how you guys live that like.
I probably wouldn't even own the S2000 if I couldn't enjoy it year round.

I don't either. I'd probably have no balls if my weather was under 20 degrees.

I've been to many tropical places over the years and trust me that is THE LIFE. once things get rolling for me and the misses, a vacation home in florida/AZ/cali will certainly be in the works. I LOVE canada but fuck as I start to get a lil older I just can't tolerate this frigid climate

It was sunny and 62 today here in KC. Took the Corvette to Lawrence, KS yesterday - home of the University of Kansas, which is 45 minutes away.


I'm dreading Winter.....J, here I come!

come on down!

they are some cheap ebay bulbs and I think DDM tuning ballasts from years ago...I took a chance at 5K on these bulbs to match the CBI lows...and they did. Ordered an extra set for when they burn out!
