flyingbrick Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 lots of commies and coons around with black tinted headlight covers- is that legal? I wonder what a solid tinted black strip would look like on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capone Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Why not get some headlight cover motors and link em up to the light switch. That way you dont restrict your lights when needed and you get the look you want during the day.

JoKer Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 other option is making the bits that cover the lights removable for wof time and driving at night removable is the key word/like a spotlight cover (even if it is two/four screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durty Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 white ones will be parklights. have to have parklights so If you made them indicators would need to put parklights elsewhere I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 what if I have orange and white bulbs I. the same lense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 You can have (can be either or - as long as they are symmetrical) amber OR white parklights and indicators to the front amber OR red parklights and indicators to the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pusherman Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 whats the requirements for a gearbox xmember? put type 9 in the wag, made crosmember out of 2x1 and 1x1 box section if my memory serves me its about 2mm wall thickness. has 100x150x6 plates that bolt thru matching 100x150x6mm plates that are welded to floor pan. 10mm bolts with nylocks thru floor/plates and 8mm bolts+nylocks holding mount to xmember. had to cut factory stiffening to bring stick position back so do those edges need to be welded up? can the plate covering hole on trans tunnel be rivited in?

MAKE SURE THE FLOOR DOESNT FLEX, I RECOMMEND THE FLOOR PLATES GO UP THE SIDE OF THE TUNNEL AS WELL TO ADD STRENGTH IF YOU DO IT THAT WAY 10mm bolts with nylocks thru floor/plates and 8mm bolts+nylocks holding mount to xmember. had to cut factory stiffening to bring stick position back so do those edges need to be welded up?

Evan Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 hey man. Im Looking at taking a complete subframe/rack/struts/brakes etc out of a FC rx7 (series 4/5) and chucking it in my series 1 rx7. Its a modification that has been done overseas however I dont know of any cars on the road here that have it done. ( Ive heard of 2 cars here that have had it done, neither is registered though).the issue with the modification is that the subframe has to be modified slighty to line up, lvvta says modifications to subframes have to be sufficiently strong to support the weight/rotational force of engine from memory. (correct me if Im wrong) what i need to do is move the front mounting hole on the subframe forward about 20mm, to do this plate needs to be welded onto the subframe as seen in the first pic on this link http://www.rx7club.c...w-i-did-967834/ on that link (for the rear mounts) they punch holes through the rails, add some crush tube and use the original FC rear subframe mount, instead of doing that would it be legal to weld a vertical plate on the back of the subframe and use the existing steering box/idler arm holes as shown in these picsif so how thick would the steel need to be? there will also be a spacer between the rail and the subframe to ensure the two items are touching.Sorry for the long post, any advice would be awesome cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
