how is the drive now that you have a functional source of power?

kiss_kiss_kill

I love it, seriously. I have a blast driving it when I do (which is a rarity). CA's broke & the cops suck even more because of it. If I get popped. I'm screwed.

If I didn't have to worry about cops, I'd seriously just DD it.

Next thing is either getting rid of the car or building the tranny, haha.

haha quite the choice.

I'll more than likely have more shots of the tC after this weekend. Apparently my car's gonna be sitting in the pit in Fontana at the drag races this weekend. Why they want my car, I have no clue, but should make for some interesting shots, lol.

Aurora

Girl, you better take all that in!!
And I hear ya on the darn popo's in CA. But if you really wanna DD it, shoot, take the trip to NV and find some long stretches of highway outside of Vegas.

Aurora

Eh, to each their own. I like them and that's all that really matters.

But anyways, I should have them in soon enough. Probably next week.

^^Did you use the stock lenses or did you switch them out?

I'll give you props on doing the retrofit, but using the tC projectors is basically a waste. The output is terrible, the cutoff is a mess, their very narrow. You should have just used S2K/TSX projectors.

x2 on that, but still a retro is a retro, props for doing.

Aurora

Thanks for the props guys, didn't want to sound rude at all. As for S2K/TSX, I couldn't afford it at the time. I asked around but still couldn't. But I did mess with the cutoff and did some painting inside the projector area itself to focus the output a lot better to produce more light. We'll just have to see how it turns out.

tcridinclean

so you retrofitted 2009 projectors into your 2006 headlights?

CarbonXe

You can get a pair of clear lens TSX projectors with OEM ballasts and Phillips D2S bulbs for only $350 on eBay. That's basically only about $150 for the projectors, considering Phillips D2S bulbs are usually $60-80 a piece, plus the price of the ballasts. Then you just need some cheap shrouds and that's basically it.

Aurora

Yeah, can't afford that...too poor. Sounds like a good price from what I've heard though.

But anyways, anyone have some new SW pix?

Gonna give this a go one more time.



Didn't feel like setting up the tripod because it's raining.

autox tomorrow?

CarbonXe

Yep. Supposed to be raining in the morning, so it might get canceled. Prob won't have any pictures because I'm only going with one friend, and his WRX is in the same class as me, so we'll be racing at the same time. I should get some video though.
