Shay - Nice video of a nice looking SC. Thanks for sharing!

I like the reflector you put on your rear, if you don't mind sharing more details about, that would be great. If not, that's okay too. It does look good though IMO.

Are you using a metro vac and blow to dry your car?

Your car looks great and the red paint is really nice.

Hey guys! The LED light might disappoint some of you. It's merely an eBay mod that ironically was inspired by a Honda Civic Si that I saw locally. It's more of an FR-S thing but apparently in Japan they use that little running light as a 'fog light' and I thought it was the coolest thing. Just search "F1 style tail light" or "jdm fog light" on eBay and it's like 6-8 bucks shipped from China! I wired it to one of my license plate running lights and fabbed up my own little bracket/zip tied it to the bumper brackets. I also used 3M double sided to keep it secured to the bumper rather than wobbling itself around and flickering at people on the road.

Also thanks for the kind words about the video! and that's actually a Master Blaster with two 4HP electric motors (no emissions blowing out with the air) but I think all it is is a rebranded dog dryer with wheels and a wall mount. It works awesome if you have some nice hydrophobic sealant/wax on your paint.

I've been using compressed air to clean the water out of my wheels (polished mesh wheels with polished lips). I bought a leaf blower yesterday to make things easier, but I've always been curious about the metro vacs. Would you say the master blaster is worth it for personal use? It's a little on the pricier side, so I've been reluctant to buy it.

I've been using nanolex wash coat on every vehicle I can get my hands on for the past few months, so the hydrophobic part is there on my cars.

It was well worth it to me. I use it every time because my wheels and exhaust are near impossible to dry with a towel. Not to mention the amount of water the rear spoiler, door handles, mirrors, gas cap, and front grill hold

Shayy, LOVE the video! Very well done.

Your SC looks phenomenal. I always thought red was one of the best colors for these cars. After seeing a few in person, I was blown away how good red looks on them.

Would love to see it in person one day. I plan to drive out to a few Chicago area meets this year if everything goes to plan. Catch up with some old friends, see some cool cars. Been a while.

Wow I am honored. Your SC has always been my favorite and I've been trying to mod mine like you lol. I don't think i'll be able to get my hands on all the parts for a V160 like you did, but I do plan on a swap in the next year or so. Thanks for the kind words! I'm going to try and make it to at least one Chicago car event this summer. I'll let you know when I plan it out
