The Derploader

I got my Nokya Cosmic White fog bulbs in. It was the best I could do to achieve my vision. I really wanted to just tint the fog glass with blue iridium chrome tint like I have on my Arai face shield, but was unable to find any.

I want to mention that I don't really care about having brighter fogs, or that only yellow light cuts fog, blah, blah, etc.

I just wanted the reflective detail.

I'm pleased with how it looks.
When it gets dark ill take an after pic and post comparison pics.
FYI, the bulbs are really easy to swap out. So I may play around with some other ideas soon.

Are you going for a blue light look?

Hell to the no.

These are suppose to be bright white, not blue. If they come out looking blue at night they will be removed immediately. I can't stand jackasses driving around with blinding blue lights. :blankface:

The brighter you go, the bluer it will get. I don't know much about car lights, but I know my light spectrum.

Maybe you speedread my post above, but like I said I chose these for the blue iridium reflection they create in the fog assemblies. In my search I specifically stayed away from the bulb options that boasted crazy high output numbers.

It was all about the unique subtle touch these create when the bulbs are not even on. I rarely actually use the fogs and may one day opt out for the lower trim vent style moldings.

The most often time I use my fogs is during the twilight of sunset, I kill the headlights, run the running lights with the fogs. It makes me feel like Maverick in Top Gun.

The bulbs say 5k. Is that gonna look blue? Feel like making a friendly prediction? I'll have the answer in 2 hours.

The brighter you go, the bluer it will get. I don't know much about car lights, but I know my light spectrum.

On a planet whose atmospheric composition is similar to Earth, you are correct.

Looks good. Doesn't look like the blue jackasses that blind me at night.

I like them so much that I just ordered matching Cosmic White bulbs for the headlights.

But THE BIG NEWS:

I just received my redpill tune from Vince. It includes a modification that should allow me to read my post i/c charge temps!!!

Trendtastic!

bonertastic.

 

[GeneralZod]

Pre, they look great and I wasn't speed reading. Just stating what happens with the brightness of light. It surprises me how many people get mad about trying to go brighter and say it looks too blue.

Plus I love spamming the HR diagram and a YouTube on stars. I'll keep you in suspense about the video.

As far as the tune, I can't wait to hear about the results.

Red Pill Tune Installed!!!

Finally got my tune update and installed it...... WOW!

The power is noticeable right from take off and comes in real hard at about 3k. This is what the e85 needs!!! Before, at WOT it always felt like: "ok, where is it?".

Now it feels like: "oh, there it is!"

I had no idea that it would cause torque steer in 2nd and 3rd. The MZ0 should arrive on Monday, so I'm gonna try to make the track on Wednesday if my job permits. I'm sure the clutch/fly should help my 60' and the new tune should multiply those results. I feel like I might hit the gates at 100mph.

Also the tune included the IAT2 update to read post i/c temps, but it still needs some R&D because my IAT1 and "IAT2" just stay locked after start up and don't change.

I emailed Vince about it, and hopefully he can sort it out.

 

[Insanika]

Wow. Somebody's been busy! Your excitement is contagious. Looking forward to seeing what results from all this.

 

[Eric Smit]

you're gonna need steel pants. hahaha

Yeah I can pretty much shift without using my hands.

Jeez. Went right past steering with no hands and straight to shifting. Impressive.

Not so boring now, is it?
