Hello, these are not an overlay. They are a whole new Carbon Fiber part vacuum bagged in a mold made from the original clock/center vent.

LOL, I was just trying to keep drama down bro. It was nothing personal.

Everyone hates on what 2damlow does to his car, but people forget that it is his car. EF's are getting rare to find in good shape, but thats no reason to hate the guy. Look at everything else hes done too. At least hes not afraid to get his hands dirty, and do the work himself. I don't like the rusted look either, but I'm not going to ride on the flame bus just to jump on him. He seems like a cool dude and he likes EF's. At least he not slapping on unpainted body kits and every light he can find @ Autozone...


Blu, nice Gremlins reference! To the guy with the turn signal problem, check fuses and make sure you have the correct bulbs in every socket. There is a possibility of a bad ground or shorting wire as well. Check your thermostat ground and make sure its not loose. If this one was loose, it would likely cause other issues as well though...

TRUST ME! I bite me tongue all day posting pictures... I think 2low likes to have his ***** busted a little.. seems like it gives him more motivation to keep being himself and actually go farther and even more extreme.. I respect anyone who will pull precious EF parts off their car while its on fire... Everyone is motivated differently.
Just try not to burn this one down 2low.. well let the first one slide, burn two EFs and Im going to think your intentions are backwards.



Im digging all the EF.LOVE... blown away that the FB page is still picking up steam at 2,800 likes. Even sold a decent amount of shirts so far. Hope no one thinks the page is a bad thing.. I still come say hello here!

Cliff notes:

GTR:
exhaust
blowoff valves

Second gear roll around 30mph to the top of fourth gear. I'm happy with it!!!

http://youtu.be/N0kzsfrebcM

This was the second run. The first run wasn't set up very well. Couldn't hear anything from car to car with my exhaust on the driver side. That vid will be up later. Took it out to the top of 5th trying to catch him...

Wekfest LA blows goats compared to Wekfest SF. You'll have fun, but you really should save for a trip to the SF event. At least at the LA event the line is much shorter!!!

I would only go to SF wekfest if you let me hide in your trunk on the way in.
Im stoked to just get out of NY for a little bit.. not just going for that event, catching up with a friend who moved out a few years back, try and make it out every few years.

Any chance of you making the trip down with the "show car"?!?

Keep it up man! Glad to see you in this thread!

Edit: watched the whole thing.. sick sick video, well put together... love the different angle on the passes. Care to share any of the suspension specs?

one wheel had a bend in it. wasn't a bad bend, but at full air pressure it created a bulge in the top of the tire. places wanted $125 to fix it but i found someone selling just one for $85 shipped. better deal and was here the next day...can't beat that.

trans not back in waiting on my buddy to put it back together. basically i'm on his schedule, but i'm driving his car until he finishes

LOL I do what I can man.

This video might please you guys a little better. Don't hate on the lose though. The negotiation was that when I went he went. When I spooled on the brake boost he went... LOL Oh well but this run starts at like 4500 in 3rd and goes to the limiter in 5th...

http://youtu.be/EQkYJG4d_EM

Gonna try to get the car back on the dyno, max out the fuel system, (510-520ish) and see if the dude is up for a daytime multiple camera run from a dig!!!

Definitely a great video Nube Negra! Looks like you need some fine tuning on the partial throttle maps though...

Fan relay should be by the fan, most likely its tucked in the passfender. The fan temp switch on older obd0 motors tends to be in the back of the block near hte oil filter, obd1+ tends to be on the waterneck by the thermostat.

I have one or two older fan switches go back on me in the past, so it is very likely, unless the wiretuck is really a wirefck.
