TitaniumTT's I hope I make it to DGRR '09 Build

[TitaniumTT]

Gonna have to talk to Alex about resizing

[2gslse]

How much of the structure was cut up for the sleek lights? do you need another core support to fix it?

[Max777]

I say do some RE-Amemeiya headlights, they look damn sexy!

But that's just me...

The core support is in fantasic shape. Its a few pieces of sheetmetal that were cut out below the core support that run vertical towards the fender liner. Not a huge deal to repair and I may add some extra bracing heading out towards the corner where the fender meets the bumper down low. Thanks for the offer though man, I appreciate it!

Negative - KnightSport dual headlight kit. I never liked the sleeklights.

I love the way the knightsports look but if I remember right they require the headlight lid retainer (clips) to be cut off and use doublesided tape or something to hold it down. They are plastic and have a bad enough time staying on as it is without cutting mounts off.
there was a group buy for some bi-xenon projectors (from sakebomb garage) in the popups for good lighting without the bad looks of the sleek lights.

Can I personally or can it be done in general? Generally speaking you can weld different types of steels together, like stainless can be welded to chromoly and different aluminum allows can be welded together, 6061 to 6062 or 5052 and such but you can't weld AL to steel. And yes I can weld all of those, TIG is a wonderful thing.

Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look and talk to Tray about his Knightsports. If it's just a clip I'll prob end up modding it as I always do. I'll look at the SakeBombs as well, he's a vendor here now isn't he?

Such a hater on flush headlights Guess that means I cant con you into making the bracket for my HIDs huh?

You should make a new thread for your FD, even if you dont start building it until the spring - I have a sneaking suspicion you will tinker here and there before then

You can't, your wallet might We'll figure something out for sure. The shop is going through, Alex and I see each other just about everyday and we keep talking and planning so we won't be turning down any project that we can do.

I can't, I just don't have the shop room right now. I've got a 20' boat that I need to make gone and gotta start on the FC soon. Right now both are snowed into their little winter hibernation spot with a Mazda 323 blocking the way which needs to be sold or wholesaled or donated by years end. Not to mention the race trailer that needs to be built before the season starts as well.... ugh... I need to get my ass in gear. When the FC is back together, the FD will be raped on as well as Alex's FC.

[WE3RX7]

323 a GTX???

Is Alex attending DGRR this time as well?

Sorry, not to add to a internal debate, but pop-up headlights went out with headbands and big hair. They absolutly destroy the looks of the car when popped up. Aerodynamic by day, and friggin brick by night. Just my opinion. I am not a corvette fan but the best thing they ever did for it was mount some molded lights.

And excuse the jacking but 2gslse: Do you have a core support laying around you don't need? I am in need of one. Does it include the main support bar(crash bar) Mine was damaged by a Mitsu galant

If TitainiumTT doesn't need it then I have the main structure from the top of the windshield forward from a car I got my wiring out of I just couldn't see throwing it away when I was done. I am pretty sure I have a bumper support in the attic also.

i love the FD with pop ups, there not square on them like the FC and FB. they just look right on the car IMO, and it brings more of an exotic vibe towards the car when you roll into a crowded place when its going dark and you open them, ive had lots of people stare
