Made a Pontiac g8 go run and hide, he came by revving up at me when traffic was tight, caught back up to him with a clear road and gave him a taste of what a cammed t67 gte can do, did not take long for him to be in my rear view mirror where I saw him get smaller and smaller ha ha
Did a bunch of stuff trying to get my parts car started. It fired up for about 2 seconds before dying after giving it gas. Ignition coil connector crumbled when I touched it so I gotta go to junkyard tomorrow and cut one off another sc. I did the 12v mod and was quite pleased when I saw this...
Then after the 12v mod I checked the ECU for leaky capacitors and found more...
Everything is Dynamatted real well. It's getting harder and harder to call it a parts car, this is looking like my new project. At the end of the day when I was wrapping everything up it hit me... the car being lowered and all to check the drivers side wheel well for rubbing. Sure enough a big chunk of plastic is rubbed out, and I see the wiring. Unfortunately the car is so low I couldn't get a good look at it, but at some point tomorrow I'll have her up in the air for a better look. I really hope I get it started soon.
Flogrown, is that a CF wrap or an actual insert? I'm planning on doing my hood in a two-tone like that, but probably with flat black on the raised center portion to match the top section of my trunk and spoiler. The CF looks awesome as just part of the overall hood, though. I've seen a computer generated SC like that previously.
Small details; just added some chrome molding along the hood and trailing to and around the headlamps to accentuate that angled look all the new models have and add a little something to the front appearance

Nice work. That takes guts, painting over expensive CF, but the end result looks better than an all-CF hood.
I think any exterior carbon fiber should be painted over at least re-cleared. There's nothing worse than leaving the original gel-coat exposed and watching your nice CF turning yellow and hazy as the heat and UV rays beat away at it.
I think the best look for CF is a ghost fade though, but that's just me. It should always be re-cleared though, otherwise may as well stay stock.
worked on the Ls400 engine thats replacing my blow sc motor....the guy forgot to send my new(ish) sc400 oil pan along with the motor , gotta go back to Houston tomorrow to pick it up and a couple other spare parts.
When I upgraded to 95-96 tail lights I noticed the same thing.....which I thought was weird that the backup light will only come on when the headlights are on...
