Thank you! New parts will be installed soon!

Hmmm it's somewhere on the forums but now that it's sorted I'm not sure. It's fairly easy to do though. I simply followed these instructions:

  • Line the car up with the side of your garage door/house/flat surface.
  • With tape, mark the beams highest position.
  • Put the lights on the lowest setting.
  • I then turned my car off, popped the hood, and started turning the two knobs on the lights--they're white plastic knobs on the back of the black plastic enclosure, not easy to miss.
  • I then turned my lights on periodically to see how far up the lights had been adjusted.
  • When your lights reach the position that you taped off you're set.
Your lowest setting is your old highest setting. Problem solved--definitely worth doing and it is free so you can't go wrong.

TBH I'm thinking more along the lines of the candy red color that Dan @ Mach V has. That or lightly smoked or I'm not putting anything on at all. I like the clear tails on the white car

Unfortunately plans may have changed and I may be selling a few things including the top mount. I want to get an APS SS45 at some point though to answer your question.

Cool cool. Unfortunately b/c I run 2 graphics cards there was no way I could fit a 3x120 radiator in the top

This setup will work for now but I probably will make a jump to Core i7 and some ddr3 later on in the year, perhaps on an x68 chipset when it comes out and the next generation of graphics cards.

Stuff I did today.

1. Install turbo blanket. Remove COBB heatshield + lower stock heatshield.
2. Install new silicone IC hoses.
3. Install t-bolt clamp on IC-throttle body.
4. Wrap IC piping and CAI with heat tape.
5. Prep radiator install stuff... will be doing that another day.
6. Pic of new Lug Nuts.

Pics to follow. My lack of detail in this post is brought to you by beer.
