thanks man! Should get it a chunk of it done this weekend. Going to work on getting the oil cooler and CAI installed. I want to get all the rest of this stuff done before my exhaust # comes up.

Oh...and I got a Canon T3i to get some better pics up in here! :)

Coming along nicely :D

Your car looks great (from a fellow 40th owner)! I see you're working on the Z1 Oil cooler kit... any tips or tricks you'd like to share regarding the install? I'm about a order a kit from John in the next few days and any advice would be appreciated!

Meulen 12-16-2013 05:39 PM

Thx guys

Tips on the oil cooler. Be very careful drilling near the radiator. Put a block of wood in front if it. Take off the wiper fluid reservoir for easier routing of the oil lines

Got a little teaser from my painter today

Is the tube welded at an angle or do you have to attach the filter at that angle to get it to fit? I'm thinking about getting G3s, but it looks jimmy rigged in pictures sometimes.

I had no problem with the G3. The tubes are bent at an angle like that. It fit perfect. One thing I can say is you kinda need to leave all the fittings loose and twist things around. Things will fall in place perfectly and then you tighten it all down

Looking good

The headlights will make such a difference, they did on mine. Red ring should look pretty evil!

thanks! That project is taking a little longer than I wanted. I have all the pieces back from paint. But I've bought a lot of different LED's and tried some different things. I went a different direction with the halo's and want to experiment a little with some diffusers. I may even exchange the XB's I have for the new type they just came out with.

I was thinking of adding the red ring in my headlights. Im very interested how these will look.
when u think you'll have them in??

I'm hoping to put them back together in the next few weeks. Depends now on the halo exchange.

Let me try to mock them up and get a pick for you this weekend. I should be able to get them together enough to give you a good idea how it's going to look. I don't think you'll see much of the red unless you're really looking for it. That ring is pretty deep in the projector cover. That's what I'm hoping for anyway! :) I want it to kind of peak through like the brake rotor does through the wheels

Meulen 12-29-2013 08:17 PM

Little mock up of the red ring for ya

Just a teaser! I promise I'll get some better pics when done. I'm going send my XBs back for exchange and still have a little fabrication to do on the diffusers. So it may be a little bit yet.
