  1. As I was wondering through the new junk yard today looking for a Z31 ECU and MAF, I stumbled along some projector housing in a Hyundai Tiburon.

    I figured these would work great to put in my crappy ebay $30 lenses. So i cut out the insides of the housings and made the whole big enough for the new lens to slide through. I added some door trim to the edge of the exposed housing to make it fit snug.

    Then I slid the new lens in and it fit snug. Luckily the headlight bracket holds the lens nice and tight when everything is put together So I did not really need to make something to secure it to the housing.

    I will get some night pics up tomorrow after I make the other one.

  2. Might I ask why you are interested in this question? Is there something that you are basing this concern off of? I don't think that we have enough information to stake a claim because the same level of technology would wield the same amount of horse power in any motor. I.E. if you have the level of technology to make a 500hp V12 then you must also have a level of technology to produce a 500hp V8. Although I want to contradict myself from that statement because I understand what you are trying to say. I guess I just need an example.

     

    But I think it all depends on the combination of stroke, compression,friction, and centrifugal resistance.

  3. I have a few questions here.

    1- How many people have a secondary car that they drive when the Z is down?

    2- If you do not have another car to drive, how do you find time to do any modifications to your Z with having a full time job?

     

    I am asking because I DD my ZX and am planning a turbo swap. I am working full time and I don't know when I will have time to swap and tune over half a Saturday and a full Sunday.

  4. This is absolutely awesome! When I saw the first pics of what you were doing I thought it was going to be ugly. Now that you have "rounded" out the sides a bit, I really like the look. You should do a similar look for the rear. Take out the tails and weld the recessed area flat so you have a sunk in look like the front. Then add in some round tail lights. This is just how I envision the rear end looking. I'm sure you have plans for the rear, right?

     

    Hats off to you man!

  5. I have the 6-2-1 MSA headers on my L28 with 2.5" piping and a 30" glass pack at the end. It has a nice tone to it, and it can be quite if you drive conservatively. I do feel a bit of low end torque loss though. I would put at least 1 glass pack on the setup.
