I tried doing lights on, lights off, turn signals on, hazards on, brakes, every combination I can think of, and I can't get that light to turn on, on my '04 RS, which is stock. That is why I ask what that bulb is, and how it turns on.

*edit*

It may be that both bulbs on my '04 are just blown out, which seems ridiculous, but is probably the case. What are the chances???

 

its possible, but they turn on when you turn your switch to the middle and stay on when turned fully on (headlights on).

I had one of these out for months and was part of my failure on my inspection.

 

could you have removed the fuses for the parking lights when you moved your fuse boxes as they use seperate fuses from the turn signals?

 

So, finished installing the interior, then I got the headlights back on. The car looks whole again!










But the cooler part, is last video people asked me to rev it, so, here is a video of the car running, and a quick walk through. It's louder than I remember

Awesome! Glad she is all back together, engine bay looks great! I would really like to see what the car weighs now...Can't wait for some track results...

 

Congrats Mark! The beast looks and sounds real angry and ready to go!

 

Sounds great! How do you like those seats? I always thought the nrg stuff was a knockoff? Maybe I am wrong?? Either way they are well priced, especially if they are a nice sturdy seat!

 

$699 each, plus the brackets, so they aren't too cheap! I love them though, very comfy!

 

Hey Mark, you've done a great job on this car. Lana has always sorta been my "idol" and its great to see she is in great hands. Looking forward to what the racing season brings.

I didnt hear what turbo that blue FF one is....... mind sharing?

 

I'm glad everything turned out good with your wire tuck, the interior looks very clean.

 

How do you like the STM uicp? is the aluminum harder to keep clean? deciding this or the br one, but i like the bends of the stm.

 

Thanks! The blue turbo was a Garrett GT3071R, but I decided not to use it after all.

Thanks!

It's a great piece! It's no harder to keep clean than any other polished pipe, it's just about half the weight of a stainless pipe.

Final stages. I started final assembly of the headlight wiring. Thanks to Dan, I got some nice 6 wire weather packs, and crimped on the wire ends to make my headlights quickly removable. Here are some pictures:






Up until this point, I just had the wires taped together for testing, but now it's the real deal!

Last night, I also let the car run for 15 minutes to fully warm up, and check for leaks, oddities, etc.. I am going to have emery tweak the tune a little bit for cold-start and warm-up, but once it's warmed up, idle is solid, and we know WOT is perfect. I may see some road time this weekend

looks sick man.. what kind of intake mani and tb is that btw

 

Looking good man!


Would you say those seats are comfy enough for a weekend toy, that may take 2-3hr trips sometimes? What brackets did you go with?
