    At least it will lay down a beating on the street to WHOEVER challenges you!!! Thats all the matters...

    Yeah man, once I got the engine management stuff sorted the whole thing really came to life! I figure I can do pretty much any mod I want now because I can just challenge the haters to a race...

    Well ok, maybe not ANY mod, but most of the aero stuff I've done... There's a reason why my car settles down slightly at 90+...

    When one has incandescent bulbs I think red or amber makes sense but with HIDs the blue just works. I would NEVER get indiglo gauges unless I could find some that were truly steller looking. The beauty of my setup is that it's still back-lit and it retains the orange plastic light transfer pieces so my needles are still red at night while the numbers are blue. During the day everything looks completely stock.

    Hey guys, come to SoCal, we pass in any available lane. The roads are so nutty that we just swerve in and out of slower traffic like in 2f2f.

    Fidhle, agreed about the right lane thing, I don't ordinarily use it for passing unless I have been behind someone for a long time who thinks the rear-view mirror is just for hanging flowers on.

    The V1 setup looks good, definitely what I will have to do when I get one for myself.

    See above... I'm thinking about changing colors around soon, maybe to a pure red or something.

    Magic, and yes, I can do just about any color but some will probably work better than others.

    I NEVER pass on the right unless it's absolutely needed.

    Wow, both videos turned out really well. Any daytime shots of that V1 concealed display?

    And FWIW, I give huge props to you for using the left lane only as a passing lane. It's one of the most irritating things when someone is humpty-dumpty in the left lane and you have to pass them in the right lane.

    No! Lol, it's just a tripod braced in the back seat for now, the real mount will come when I get around to it. I'm surprised at how stable it is though...
