Guest FrantiC Report post Posted October 10, 2009 Oh, Looks better than I thought it would. Light output would be highly decreased though as you blacked out the reflector.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) Oh, Looks better than I thought it would. Light output would be highly decreased though as you blacked out the reflector.. Yeah it wouldnt be anywhere near as bright as it would if I left it chromed. Wont be able to tell exactly until its dark (atfer 9pm now thanks daylight savings) so have to wait a few more hours before I can see. If its not much brighter than the lowbeam, I can then drive with all 4 lights on everywhere I go EDIT: Oh and those photos were taken with the flash turned OFF...so my camera didnt make it any brighter.

Shady 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 Its one of those cars, that once you start, you cant stop. I didnt intend on doing anything to it. But it just happens I have big plans for it engine wise, which is why I dont care its a pussy 1.8. More info on the engine once I sell my Honda (to raise funds). Once I have it all sorted, you guys are gonna be freaking out....or hating. One or the other Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brook-e30 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 I know! I didnt care. Workshops that do WOFs dont use the headlight testers like VTNZ so they'll just check the lights work & if the bulb lights up, all good. I've never seen a workshop check the quality. I was meaning the hi-beams fail a WOF...tail lights should be all good. SD European uses headlight testers.... its a requirement to pass a WOF. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Secret 2 Report post Posted October 10, 2009 Thank God you removed the silver 'highlights' on the tail lights. Only a bit of silver to remove now so you're on your way! I admire the dedication though, good work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I admire the dedication though, good work Yes, silver highlights were, very gay. Cant beleive I done. I think someone put crack in my tobacco jokes. Only silver left is the spotlight blanks which will be replaced with spotlights anyway, and the silver painted plastic bits inside (which stated early in the thread, will be all replaced later on down the track).

You aren't keeping a secret which will secure you a F1 World Championship are you? You don't have Ferrari and McLaren spies infiltrating your house to see if you have developed a way to get 2% more power with a 1.5% reduction in fuel use . It's a backyard engine conversion.. A engine which I'm sure everyone has heard of no doubt. So it's not really a secret after all. I'm going to put a SR20DET in my car. No sh*t. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shady 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2009 Are you going manual? When I do my engine conversion, yes. But its still auto ATM. m50 conversion? follow the htown trend lol Nope. I dont follow trends. And Incary. Im sure what I want to do hasnt been done, I've search the net & google & youtube and found nothing yet. I will be starting a build thread when I have sold my Honda & start buying what I need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost as though you painted the lens, which Im sure you didnt. Did you also paint the "reflector" in the high beams? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
