Headlight Mod Event PART DEUX: The headlightening

dmhenderson · 09-18-2012, 09:56 AM

He has a harness that hooks into the passenger-side seatbelt so that force is distributed evenly over his body rather than yanking at his neck (weenie dogs have back issues). I have set just long enough so he can hang his head out the window but short enough that he can't hit the dash on a sudden stop.

He's a fan of going fast. He (used to) get up on the dash the minute he heard the hammer drop and watch. Now he has to make due with the window.

Looks like it. It's the only day I can make it this weekend and next weekend is the GT-R cruise.

Yeah I'll be up on Saturday early but after E/W can get a decent night's sleep.

Dee what time you want us to be at your place? Don't want you running around with 2 hrs of sleep again. Also an FYI, we're gonna have to jack my car up to get the bumper off, but that shouldn't take too long.

Your car is not that low.. can get the bumper out no problem without having it on jacks. But for a safe/peace of mind, you can have it jacked up. lol

I'm pretty sure I've tried before and couldn't do it..........or maybe I'm thinking about taking the undertray off since you can't reach the bolts towards the back end of it.

Sh....you car can't be any worse than mine can it? I'm not sitting on coilovers but that nismo kit keeps it pretty low and tight.

A regular jack doesn't even fit under my car. Here's an idea of how much ground clearance I have. BTW, this is an old pic from back when I had plasti dip on my wheels.

Also for the record my name is Mark and I get confused when ya'll call me "DM" in-person.

Blame Dee (Damien aka EW) for that. He likes to call people by their forum names since he doesn't really hang out with us in person that much. I prefer to use actual names. My name is Shahid
