not sure if you can tell but im pretty lazy, i have a monster car in my garage ive been building for 2 years and I'm too lazy to finish that, chances are ill never find the part # lol.



BUT i MIGHT work on my car this sunday, if so ill see what i can determine from the bulb housings.



they look like regular 3 series high and low beam housings, and they fit pretty nicely, expensive tho.



as for the cars, at least now ill have someone to compare numbers with lol, well whenever i finish it. My FD has a T04Z tho and a monster street port, so i'll see what numebrs that one makes, only aiming for 15psi for cruising duties tho

Hehe...now you know the reason why I vow to only have 1 project car! More than one can become quite the chore, thus making a person un-motivated to work on them constantly!



It took me about 2 years to build my setup...so I know what you are going through...but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing yours finished. I definitely envy your paint and ignition setup...oh and your lights! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/cool.gif



You'd be a life saver if you could come up with some info on those lights. The main reason I want them, is because of the fitment...hella 90mm lenses are way too small and leave a good sized gap, and just doesnt look right.

yea, thats why im focusing on getting the fd running right, that way i can send it off for paint and focus on the yellow one. but 2 projects are a handful when theyre your own.



if you want anye xtra details on the ignition let me know, that stuff i have memorized in my head https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif



in all honesty, even with the bmw lenses, there s adecent gap, the reason you dont see it is because the headlight buckets are painted black....thats the reason me and rob decided to do them black.

Yeah...shoot me the ignition info when you get a chance. Right now, I'm only running a single MSD 6AL box on my leading coil. I definitely noticed a good difference, but I'm still a little skeptical to run my current ignition setup with 500+whp.



Are your lights IPF? or are they the 90mm hellas? Did you get the real RE-Amemiya Bumper or a replica from Rotary Extreme?



I know the real bumper came with IPF's and Rotary Extreme's came with the 90mm hellas.



My light buckets will be black as well.

how did you clean up the paint?my quarter panel of my fc looks like it has some oxidation and i dont now how to make it look better,any input will be great thanks[b]

Comitatus 06-03-2007 08:47 PM

Haha...um....I'll use my inside voice!



Just used a air powered polisher...Used a rougher compound to buff away the old crap. Then used a lighter compound to smooth things out. Then just put on a coat of wax.



Other than that...just depends on how bad the paint is.



Good Luck!

Clay Bar works good too, I've used "ICE Liquid Clay Bar" and it made my FD white again after sitting and turning yellowish for 4 years. But nothing beats a good buffer/polisher.
